Supported in 1928
0NE THING IS CERTAIN.
" There will be a vote on the
third-term proposal. There can
not be g valid charge that the
resolution is in opposition to the
majority party. The resolution
of 1875 was introduced by a
Democratic Congressman.
The resolution of 1928 was
actively supported by every
present Democrat then in the
Senate except one. The identi-
ca: resolution has had the sup
port of Democratic Congressman
in the past. Not only has it had
the support of the legislative
group of Democrats but 1t is the
Judgment Of the Presidents on
whom the party is known to
look back to with pride.
JeffersOn's Fears
DRESIDENT THOMAS JET
L FERSON, known as the
father OF the Democratic Party,
was the first to express the
danger of a third term. AS early
as 1888 he expressed his fear Of
perpetual re-eligibility Of the
President. AS he said:
This, fear, will make an Of
flee for life. I was much an
enemy of monarchy before I
came to Europe. I am ten thou
sand times more so since 1 have
seen what they are. L shall
hope that before there is danger
of this change taking place in
the office of President the good
sense and free spirit Of our
countrymen will make the
change necessary to prevent It,"
Further expressions by Jeffer-
son bolstered his original state
ment. When asked to run for a
third term, he replied:
IF some termination to the
services of the Chief Magistrate
be not fixed by the ConStitu-
tion, or supplied by practice,

President Interested

At a recent conference at the
White House, President Roosevelt
was informed Of the plans for
civil Service Year" and I can say
that he expressed sympathetic in
terest in them. There would seem
to be little need at this juncture to
labor the point Of the advisability
nay, Of the strong necessity-of
extension and strengthening Of the
merit system. And yet those Of us
who are out on the firing line
know that a tremendous amount
of work must be done to bring
about the enactment Of legislation
which, almost everyone will agree,
is decidedly In the public interest.
There is, however. one particu-
larly hopeful aspect to the present
situation, and that is the increas-
ing public interest in the whole
question Of the merit system. Years
ago, when the National Federation
of Federal Employees first began
its long, intensive campaign of edu-
cation, public apathy was complete

Here's Team for 1910 Race


A LII the columnists have been writing about
4 suggested presidential nominees for 1910 in
case our President doesn't allow himself to be
put up for third term. Inasmuch as Sherman
Minton already has thrown Paul McNutt's hat
in the ring, I've been racking my brain for a
runningmate for him. Finally, I've found him.
Senator Tom Connally Of Texas is the very man.
OF course, they wouldn't have to worry about
the women's vote-but in case they did, it could
easily be sewed up with the appointment Of
Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein as cam
paign managers.
Their platform would be easy to understand
manly rampant Cor in the raw. Just think,
girls, what a McNuttC Connally combination would
look like in the movies, the newspapers. and on
the billboards. Except for the mustachio they'd
put Anthony Eden in the shade. Each plank in
the platform would be a picture Of these two
stalwarts, either in white tie and tails, bathing
suit, or kissing the babies of very young mothers

Definite Possibility

THE third term proposal Is
l. being advocated at frequent
intervals by a member Of the
Presidents Cabinet and by
other well-known, close advisers
and confidants OF the President.
He, himself, has not expressed
his opinion whether he will or
not. When asked whether the
President will be q candidate
in 1910, members of his own i'm
mediate family have not even
limited a denial Of his future
ambition.
Gen. Hugh S. johnson re-
Gently stated: He has kept the
road open. He has shaped his
conduct toward that goal" In
another statement, General
Johnson, who knows the Presi-
dent well, said: "He cares moth
ing for precedents. He says so"
No one can question the fact
that 1t has become by universal
concurrence the precedent Of
this country that no President
shall serve more than two terms.
Washington refused a third
term. So did Jefferson. Other
great Presidents retired after
their second terms, among them
Madison, a member of the Con-
stitutional Convention.
Capitalization of power in the
hands of an executive is now
developed to its highest point.
The use of that power to renomi-
nate and re-elect a President is a
definite possibility.
I cannot believe that in this
great country Of ours we do
not have at least one man capa-
BILE Of being a good President
after 1941. I do believe to estab-
lish a third-term precedent would
be exceedingly dangerous and un-
wise. A third term, as Jefferson
has said, might and probably
would be the first term "for
life"
Our democracy is too valuable
to take the chance.
