SENATE DEBATES
WORKS DESOLUTION
LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL TERM
TO SIX YEARS
Names of Roosevelt and Wilson
Dragged Into Drcussion — Wil
liams Would Limit Incumbent to
Two Terms of Four Years Each.
Associated Press.
Washington, I). C., Aug -9.- The
first attempt in the senate to de
bate the Works’ resolution for a
single term of -ix years for president
and vice president plunged that body
Into an open discussion of the polit
ical situation.
Senator Cummins made the chief
speech in support of the resolution,
but before he was seconded Senators
Borah and Williams engaged in a
discussion of whether Roosevelt or
Wilson had been guilty of the great
er indiscretion in the uso of lan
guage or their writings.
■Borah read from one of the works
of Wilson to show he favored a long
tenure of the presidential office.
Williams pointed out that the
governor had endorsed the Balti
more platform, and Borah retorted
that Wilson might yield to the plat
form but he doubted If he yielded
his judgment.
Williams then asserted that Wil
son had never written more reck
lessly than Roosevelt.
Williams offered a substitute in
the form of a constitutional amend
ment limiting the president to two
terms of four years each.
The Clayton bill to amend the
constitution so as to provide a single
six year term for the president was
reached by the house today, but on
objection was set over to the winter
session.

“Once while travelling through
my state 1 was noticing in particu

was going on about me. During the
afternoon 1 went into the dining car,
which was crowdjd, so I sat down
near one end of the car, opposite a
fleshy lady, who 1 thought weighed
at least 250 pounds.
“As 1 looked past the lady through
the car window, not noticing her
particulary, I was impressed by the
vast amount of farm machinery that
was unsheltered and exposed to the
weather, and could not help but re
mark, ‘What a waste!’
“The lady opposite me faced me
squarely and said. ‘Mister, you just
mind your own business.’ ”—Phila
