THE BIGGEST ISSUE
OF THEM ALL

No matter which way you turn in TINS
presidential campaign, you cannot get
away from one issue-the third term. II
is warp and woof of every other issue
you can discuss. 1t is. part and parcel
of international diplomacy, 1t is the es-
sence of New Deal control over industry,
it is the direct offspring of New Deal
failure to accomplish domestic ooJee-
tiveS.
One thing above all others the voters
of 1910 will decide next Tuesday. That
is whether the voters of every other pres
idential election since the republic be-
gan have been wrong. 1t is whether
Washington, jefferson, Jackson and
every other great leader of American
history was short-sighted and obtuse.
The people of America will decide
next Tuesday whether this land has be-
come so sterile in leadership that its mil
lions of people can produce only one
man capable of meeting crisis.
You hear some people say that, except
for the war and the need of wisdom in
international maneuverings, they would
not consider voting for the New Deal
candidate. Even the most ardent New
Dealers admit that, but for the war,
Wendell Willkie would be elected by
huge majority. But" they say, I'VE
need experience in international deal
ings
The truth of the matter is that Ameri-
cas- greatest international triumphs in
recent years have stemmed from one
man-Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
And Secretary Hull has said that, re-
gardless of who is elected president, his
services will still be available to this gov
ernment Many who should be in posi-
ton to know what they are talking about
have said that Willkie, if elected, will
retain Hull as secretary of state.
So it appears that WILKES election
will not throw experience out the door.
1t will only sustain tradition that has
been sanctified by the greatest leaders
this nation ever had, and endorsed by
the voters time and again.
No change in presidents has ever de-
prived this nation of experience, nor ever
will. In international affairs, trained
career diplomats whose names are never
heard, but who go on year after year,
regardless of administration changes,
carry the burden of the job. In domes-
tic affairs, the trained workers of the
government will remain, also. 1t is on
ly the political policy-making heads who
will change. -.e, se.t 80
And they should be changed, because
if they remain longer than eight years
in office they will have built up such
political machine that lifetime tenure
will be the next step.
Our ancestors fought the Revolution
ary War to escape from such things.

The Inside Track in WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2 = Wha
happens to the Department of
Justices vote fraud investigation
depends largely on the man run
ming it-Maurice M. Milligan, on
leave of absence as U. S. attorney
for western Missouri and serving
as special assistant to the attorney
general.
Milligan is an able. high-minded
prosecutor. There is general con-
fidence here that when he goes
into action he will call them as
he sees them without regard for
politics.
A mass of material awaits his
study.

eating committee is looking into
the doings of the Kelly-Nash ma
chine in Chacago and the ways OF

CASE AGAINST
THE THIRD TERM
springfield, Mass, Union)

The case against the third term has
never been phrased more simply, more
accurately and more convincingly than
by John w. Davis, once candidate for
the presidency on the Democratic ticket,
an outstanding legal authority, and a
man of high integrity and reputation.
Mr.. Davis arraignment of the idea of
third term is the more deadly because
it Lacks entirely any personal bias. Out
of the political spotlight himself, Mr.
Davis is concerned, in his argument, with
ideas, not with men, He says
Il care not how others may feel, but
for myself the man has not yet been born
of woman-and | use that phrase be-
cause it includes both the living and the
dead-the man has not yet been born of
woman to whom | would entrust for
more than eight years at most, the vast,
the expanding, the fateful powers of the
presidency of the United States.
1--WE have become sterile indeed if we
cannot produce at any and all times the
men we need to fill our public offices;
so sterile indeed that we would then no
longer deserve the liberty we would not
longer have the will to protect
These are strong, significant and COM
pelling words. They represent the ma
tured thought of rugged American, and
millions agree entirely with everything
he has said. So strong, indeed, do many
millions of Americans feel on this subject
that they believe America would be ruin
ed if any man were to be elected Presi-
dent for a third term.
This opinion transcends party The
New York Times feels so strongly that,
h. ,,.rt md, 4
has deserted the Democratic party to
advocate the election of a Republican.
Many Democrats are to vote for Willkie,
simply because they believe that to elect
any man for more than the traditional
two terms would be to imperil free Amer
lean institutions.
Sentiment against third term seems
to be growing. The more the American
people think it over, the more clearly
they see that, even if third term for
Mr. Roosevelt did not make him a die
tator, it would be a step in the direction
of totalltarlan government. If the third
term tradition were to be broken now,
some future President, less scrupulous
than Mr.. Roosevelt, might we'll take ad-
vantage of the shattered tradition to en-
trench himself IN power and become
real dictator
There is no indispensable man in this
great country of ours. If the time has
come when there is but one man out of
the more than 132,000.OOO individuals in
this country fit to sit in the White House,
we should be fools to elect him President
just now. We should give him a scepter
and a crown, and make him king
AS a matter of fact, electing any man
for third time as President would be,
to all intents and purposes, to make him
king. And We aren't ready to do that

NEW DEAL AGENCIES
UNDER SPOTLIGHT

IN Washington, the committee is
studying Republican charges that
WPA payrolls are being padded and
that the Agriculture Departments
AAA is putting the heat on farmers
to drum up votes for Roosevelt.
It is also looking into charges that
the assorted Willkie clubs have got
around the Hatch acts $4,000, 900
campaign fund limitation.
1t is considered unlikely that
Milligan's force can dig very far
into this mass of material before
election day. Nevertheless. the
background of the whole affair has
as definitely political tinge as
county caucus in Indiana.
The Department of Justice hat

cutors in all parts Of the country
Appointing a special investigate
struck a lot CT Washington peopl
as a dramatic gesture, and the
Imperial Valley press., 1940-11-03
began to look for a reason.
WHITE HOUSE
EXPECTS "BLITZKRIEG"


The first is the obvious fact that
the Democratic ticket has been
hurt by constant Republican harp
ing on the close tie-up between
the New Deal and the more malo-
dorous city machines. Putting a
man of Milligan's character in
a nation wide investigation, and
opening offices in Chicago for a
starting point, is looked on as n
means of taking off some of this
heat.
Second reason is the White
Houses firm conviction that
Willkie "blitzkrieg" was due to be-
gin about 10 days before the cleo
ton, without regard to Hatch act
or other campaign fund limita-
tionS. Setting up CT Mtlligans
force is looked on is some quarters
as a quiet warning.
Underlying reason for the per-
formance may be that the admin
iStration has not been at all happy
about the Senate's investigation.
Under the Senate'S resolution for
an investigation Vice President
Garner was empowered to name the
five-man committee. 1t became
known he planned to appoint two
Republicans and three anti-New
Deal Democrats.
An under-cover fight developed,
and in the end a compromise was
arranged which put Senator Hill
of Alabama, whole hearted New
Dealer, on the investigating COM
mittee.
Senator Gillette, the chairman
has gone down the middle, but the
administration certainly wouldn't
be sorry if Milligan should steal
some of the spotlight away from
Gillette's committe.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-11-03

A good deal has been said about
which European or Asiatic dictator
would prefer to see which Ameri-
can candidate elected to the pre-
Sidency.
In our judgement this discus
sion passes closely by the impor-
tant point, but misses it entirely.
There is one thing the dicta-
tors would like to see in the Ameri-
can election, and only one. That
is the kindling Of such fires of
passion, such ill-feeling, such bit
terness against either candidate
as would tend to create lasting diff
ferences between sections of the
American people. That is the only
election development that could
possibly bring any real satisfac-
tion to any totalitarian.
There is. in the present contest,
the seed of just such division, and
it is an evil thing. The campaign
tends to blot out, if only for the
moment, the essential unity OF the
American people. Let us focus a
thought on that unity.
The whole American people, al
most without exception, is having
a re-birth of its love for free de-
mocratic government. Freedom for
gotten in the fat years has ac-
quired new value in American
eyes which look also on the trage-
dies abroad. We are united, then,
as we have not been for years, in
our devotion to cur free institu-
tions, standing as they do noun
tain-high above any president any
administration, any present con-
cern.
We are united in a resolute de-
termination to create defensive po-
wer in preparation to our latent
strenght-power that will enable
us to go our way of peace without
