Politicians in Washington are trying to figure out the meaning of the sudden outburst of the Roosevelt third term boom here. They regard ns especially significant the typewritten memorandum given out by Representative Martin, of South ' iHikota, Hfter a conference with the president, vigorously defending the third term idea. They have reached the conclusion that the president lealires that the third term movement must 1h allowed to run tight on in order to head off the progress of the Imotus of reactionary candidates. The prevailing opinion here remains that President Roosevelt ! personally will go as far as he can to prevent his own renominat ion, but will stop at nothing to assure the noinma tion of a successor in accord with his iHtlioios. Rather than see them stuvumh, many loliee that the piosident himself, if nroperlv approached, would lake a re- nomination, providing no other candi dale satisfactory to himself and friends is strong enough to unite the next Re publican national convention. !

A week ago they refused to put on any clothes arm since then they have walked around stark naked. The reason is that the prison author ities took away their own clothes and gave them clothes made from the poor est grade of butlap unfit for making bags. After they had worn these clothes a few davs nearly all were suf fering with a rash covering their whole bodies, but still the prisoners did not mutter. When a number of them had been infected with leprosy, one morn ing all of the clothes, blankets and sheets were thrown out of the prison ers' cells and they declared unanimous ly that they would go naked rather than run the risk of contracting diseas es from wearing the prison garb.
