The democrats becoming thor
oughly alarmed at the spontane
ous outburst of popular enthusi
asm for the nomination of form
er President Roosevelt for the
Presidency, have introduced a
resolutioji that no man be eligi

This is done to head off the nom

The next move will be: A bill
to prevent the Republican party
from nominating any man for
president that can beat a demo

this move may be looked for
