The Third Term Ghost Here is some information tha: comes from a source tha: Bive it the force of an official utterance. President Roosevelt will try, while on his southern tour, to lay the third term ghost. Reports even from that section of the country show that there is a sentiment to the effect that he should be renom- inated, whether or no, and made to accept another term. The president is actually distressed at his inability to eliminate Dimself from the next presidential race. He has used as strong language as he can command, but still there are some who will not believe. He intends to repeat his refusal, and to make it more emphatic, {f possible, than previous declarations. There is no doubt about Mr. Roosevelt's popularity, but the fact remains that there is a mighty sentiment against third termism in this country. It is doubtful if any man could overcome that sentl- ment. The argument that he should remain in office to complete the Panama canal and give the United States a mighty navy counts for should Other men can dig canals and build warships, And {t ia not to be forgotten that the president has sald abso- lutely, finally and definitely “NO!” ——_——.
