Roosevelt wants nothing but the great

cratic ends. he Is likely to attempt die

Is Mr.. High telling us that We are to

much like It. Let us recall, then. Al

Mr.. STANLEY HIGH. mentioned
above for his article on the
President in the October Harper's,
does not seem to be the only person
who Is taking up the possible third
term issue. In the October Com
mentator George E. Sokolsky also
writes Of this possibility, and his
approach is by on means As concilia-
tory as Mr.. Highs. Mr.. Sokolsky takes
for his point Of departure the NOM
ination Of Senator Black to the Su-
preme Court. After lashing that ap-
pointment as gesture Of defiance
by the President and q piece of spite

Sokolsky lights into the Chief Execu-
tive further, as follows:

and why not? Washington and JET
ferson rejected third terms? Who are
they? just folks who lived in the

can overcome every obstacle and.
sinsle-handed, achieve the maximum
Of power?

lawyer from New England, a country
lawyer, who spoke with a nasal twang.
Why should he pay attention to what
Coolidge chose to do or not to do?
Why should he be impressed by Calvin
Coolidge?
