THE KANSAS CITY TIMES. FBI DAY. MAHCII 27. 1936, THE MINUTE THAT SEEMS A YEAR. Society The Cheat Game ok Politics The Old Idea of a Single Prrfidrntial Term of 6 Yean Baht Vp A pain.

Mr, and Mrs Harry T. Abemafhv hi returned from a visit to Miami Beach, na. By Fsank R. Kiwt. the power of Presidents to keep themselves In office regardless of the popular will has become a real menace.

It undoubtedly Is true that President! spend the last two yesrs ot their first Urpi building up the organlzstlon by hleh they hope and purpose to secure a second nomination and election In other words, to playing politics. The best of them have to do this. They are effective really for about half of their first term. The latter half, they are campaigning. That la what Mr.

Roosevelt la doing now. Everything In the administration la subordinated to the coming election; every word and deed emanating from the White House is considered as to Its effect upon the political situation.

Crorier mill give a luncheon April 1, woman's d.iy, at the Blue Hllla Country Club, 28 -A plank in the 1936 Democratic platform advocating a constitutional amendment limiting residents to one term of six years is being utged as an answer to the charge that the huge federal machine which Mr.

Roosevelt has built up Is being used to crush out opposition In his own party and that upon It hinge his hopes of u4 0 aqO'F -W MO v-alV Mr. and Mrs James Gordon Anderson will return today Irom Palm Sprints, Cal.

Pr Mr and Mrs Charlea T. Ballew. 412 West Gretotv boulevard, have returned from Hot Springs, Ark. MR. WILSON agreed that It Is Intolerable that any President should be permitted to determine who should succeed him -himself or another by patronage or coercion, or by any sort of control of the machinery by which delegates to nominating conventions are chosen." The cure for this, he urged, was the abolition of the nominating conventions and a general law bv which the people at the polls made the nomination! directly.

Conventions, he said, should determine nothing except the party platforms. It is Interesting that as able a man as Mr. Wilson should have Ignoied the fact that the federal patronage and power would be equally potent under the scheme he proposed that all that meant was a party primary in every state, and that the federal officeholders would dominate these as easily as they do a nfTU giving th third voice oh THE LINE A GOOD STIFF MWUMG-0UT FOR PRUKIMG IN, YOUR WIFE INFORMS YOU IT'S YOCR AUNT JULIA.WHO HAS COME TO VISIT AND WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO USE THE EXTENSION SET UPSTAIRS Mrs Cha-les Demaiee will go to arreiburt.

Everything that can create controversy or promote friction is sidetracked. The mind and heart of everybody ln the administration are set upon securing a second term for the President, a renewed lease of power for themselves. It la the normal situation at this stage of the proceedings and it la everything but pretty. As one read again that Palmer letter of Mr. Wilson '1 and then considers that tha arguments on the other aide have been Increased and enhanced by the expension of the federal power, Ihe single term of alx yeara seems sounder than before.

At any rate, there is a present Intention among certain White House advisers to urge It ln Philadelphia. It can't, they say, do any harm. If adopted, the amendment wouldn't affect Mr. Roosevelt and it would furnish a campaign reply to those who urge that the increased federal power ultimately means a dictatorship which cannot be dislodged. tcojivrlpht.

IT Isn't much of an answer, but It makes It interesting to recall that It Is not a new proposal, that It has been talked of for generations and that ln 1912 It was part of the Democratic platform, adopted ln Baltimore, and upon which Woodrow Wilson was elected. This plank read as follows: 1 "We favor a single presidential teim and to that end urge the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution making the President of the United States Ineligible for re-election, and we pledge the candidate of this convention to that principle In February, 1913. the senate, then controlled bv Democrats, adopted a resolution submitting to the states a constitutional amendment to carry out this proposal.

Despite strong support it failed ln the house. The chief reason for Us failure was that Mr. Wilson was not ln sympathy with it. He made this plain ln a letter to his friend. Mr.
