Mr.. Roosevelt. The same word
comes from Oklahoma, Ohio, Illi-
nois, New Jersey, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and a score or more other
States-that Roosevelt is the choice
of 80 per cent of the rank and file
members of the party. Unless some
thing is done soon to halt the rush.
it will be impossible to stop it.
The President alone is in a posi-
ton to put on the brakes. That he
has not yet done-although he said
very clearly at Hyde Park yesterday
that when anything was said ii
would be at time of his own choos-
ing, and his alone. This may be in
terpreted as meaning that he will
say something when he gets ready
or that he will continue to say
nothing. You can take your choice
He does not intend, however, to be
smoked out"
The Garner-for- President people
are trying desperately to throw OBJ
stacles in the way of the third-term
band wagon. The latest move was
the entry of Garner slate of dele
gates in the Wisconsin presidential
preferential primary. despite state
ment here by the States Democratic
national committeeman. Charles E
Broughton, to the effect that We're
for a third term" 1t would be
necessary for the President to give
his consent to enter his name in the
Wisconsin primary. Broughton said
he doubted the President would con-
sent to this.
Garner Wires Thanks.
The Garner r-for-President Club of
Wisconsin, through its co-chairmen
John j. Slocum and William r. CAL
lahan. wired the Vice President that
they had arranged a complete slate
of Garner delegates to be entered
in the primary and they would enter
his name. Mr.. Garner promptly
telegraphed back as follows: Thank
you for your wire advising that
complete slate of delegates will be
entered in Wisconsin primaries
supporting me for presidential nom-
ination. This in keeping with my
public statement in which I said
I would accept nomination. In that
statement I expressed the opinion
that the people should decide and
that the candidate should be Sc
lected at primaries and conventions
as provided by law. I am glad that
Wisconsin Democrats propose tc
follow this democratic procedure
Since Mr.. Garner is going into the
Wisconsin primary, it may now de-
velop that other candidates will
follow suit and permit their names
to be used there. The adherents
of Paul v. McNutt of Indiana and ol
Senator Burton K Wheeler of Mon
tana may enter states of delegates
also and bring a real showdown
even though the President does moi
enter.
Mr.. Garner is the only one of the
many candidates for the nomination
who has said frankly he will be 6
candidate whether or not President
Roosevelt runs. The others are still
waiting to see what Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to do and some of then
have already said they will not bt

left in Chairman Farley's hands,
and his hands alone, the job OF
selecting a date for the Democratic
National Convention, after picking
Chicago as the convention city. The
longer the convention is postponed,
the easier 1t will be for the third
term drafters-particularly If the
President continues to decline to say
whether he will or he won't. Fur
thermore, Mr.. Farley was left to
name a committee on arrangements
for the. national convention, and
that committee selects the keynoter
and temporary chairman for the
convention and recommends to the
convention a permanent chairman.
These are important officials, par
ticularly if there is contest over
the election of presidential and vice
presidential candidates. Mr.. Farley
is himself potential candidate for
either first or second place on the
national ticket.
Scout Third Term Opposition.
The recent rush to get aboard the
Roosevelt band wagon by members
of the national committee, members
Of Congress and party leaders out
through the States is attributable
to a growing belief that because of
his great personal popularity, the
President will be the strongest can
didate the party can put forward
and the officeholderS and would
be officeholders want above every
thing to win their elections or re-
elections. So they have forgotten
their qualms over third presiden-
tial term and the tradition against
it. Their chant now is that, as
political issue, the third term will
not be formidable. Men who a
few months ago declared they would
never vote for third-term Presi-
dent are forgetting their earlier at
titude and are ready to go along
More particularly are they ready
because they have convinced them
selves that the rank and file of the
voters will 60 along, too.
1t was difficult to obtain any
clear idea from members of the ma
tional committee as to their choice
for the presidential nomination if
the President does not run. They
insisted there had been no crystal
lization of sentiment for any other
candidate-and there will be none
as long as Mr.. Roosevelts shadow
hangs over the presidential SWIM
ming hole
Frank McHale, national commit
teeman for Indiana and manager of
the McNutt campaign for the nomi-
nation, insists that his candidate is
the second choice-second to Roose-
velt-of 10 per cent of the commit
tee and of the party leaders in the
States. That, however, has yet to
be proven.

as mere hills. They are lovely" she
