NON-COMMITTAL DISCUSSION. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received (Feb. 8, 10.10 p.m. A. and N.Z. Washington, Feb. 7. A debate was precipitated in the Senate to-day on the resolution introduced on Tuesday last by Mr. R. M. La Follette, Republican member for Wisconsin, condemning the idea of a President filling office for three terms as being “unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught with perils to our free institutions.” There was no unanimity among the Senators, irrespective of party, as to whether ' President Coolidge could be drafted in view of his statements that he would not be a candidate. Senator Gillette indicated that he believed President Coolidge had withdrawn but he also opposed the resolution, while Senator Bruce said the President “had left the door slightly ajar.”
