At the moment they are trying to pass a constitutional amendment aimed pri- marily at me, but also at him. In his case they offer him the sop of six years certain instead of a possible eight years, and he may be willing to accept six. For my own sake I very earnestly hope they will pass the amendment, but from 352 THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND HIS TIME the standpoint of the country it is not an amendment they ought to pass.
