fashioned or too much of a ira
.abut it seems to me
that the Father Of His Country,
George Washington, must have
been inspired DIS to his decision
on the third term issue, andthat
mas become a tradition that
oilers have not broken.
L am against a third term,
and especially in these times of
dlctators and such ruthless dis
regard of the things and funda-
mental in government, and
when even our own Constitu-
ton is imperiled. l think the
New Deal has become an Old
Deal and we need another deal.
We Need to Work, Pray and,
.... Fight ....
Mrs. Grace Wilson Evans, of
Terra Haute, Ind, Club Woman,
Political leader Alternate Dele
gate at Large to the Republican
National Convention-"The A
merican people need to pray,
work and fight as never before
in this campaign that we may
save the American system of
government the greatest in all
tn world.
"Mr. RooseveIts greatest ac-
complishment in the last seven
years has been the creation of
hatred between classes. capital
and labor. This is an unpardon-
able crime. Capital and labor
built this country and capital
and labor will save this country.
May the Lord have mercy upon
us if Mr.. ROOSEVELT is elected
for a third term"
Not the Way of Democracy
G. A. Franklin, Kansas City,
Missouri, Editor of The Call
"Since all the occupants of the
White House, from President
Madison down, have carried
this country triumphant thru
international crisis, history
gives Franklin d. Roosevelt no
ground for assuming that he,
alone, is fitted to lead now when
Fascism and Communism threat
EN-. t..
For him to seek a third term
for the sake of his New Deal
Social Legislation is to admit
it will last only so long as he
lives, and has not the hold on
the hearts of the people other
laws have which are the founda-
ton of our government of the
people, for the people and by
the people. One man government
is not the way of democracy"
A NegatiOn of the Democratic
Processes
Charles w. White, Assistant
Director of Law, City of Cleve-
land, Ohio - 'The manner in
which the denomination of Mr..
Roosevelt was brought about at
Chicago gives added importanc
to the third term issue. 1t may
be conceded that the President
was the outstanding candidate by
all the rules of political Logic.
Some of the delegates, however,
were sincerely imbued with the
conviction that the anti-third
term tradition should not be
abandoned and that neither the
crucial state of world affairs nor
the perpetuation of the New
Deal justify any departure from
it. Nevertheless, a candidate
armed with the vast powers of
the Presidency exercised so
complete a control over the pre-
ceedings of the convention that
delegates not only had no other
choice as to who should be tn
standard bearers but they were
also denied opportunity to dis
cuss the merits of their convic-
ton. In that performance we see
