Senator Wagner would elect Pres
ident Roosevelt for an indefinite
period because he is more expert
enced than Mr.. Willkie. George III,
we remember, was far more expert
enced than George Washington, but
the people of America in those days
preferred Washington's ''ineXperi-.
ence" and democracy to George HIS
experience and tyranny. Mr. Roose-
welt was inexperienced in 1882, yet
he did his best work during the first
few weeks when he was so "inex-
perienced Since that time he has
gained both experience and power.
1t is rule of history that a long
reign is usually tyrannical one.

vince me that the administration

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Quoting from Star editorial Of
this date: "At Albany. N. Y. last
week he (Mr. Wallace) made the in
credible charge that the German
dictator is trying to throw the elec-
ton to the Republicans. Campaign
ing of this sort is arrant nonsense,
but it is dangerous nevertheless"
The writer believes that you must
be aware of the truth of Mr.. WAL
lace's statement, and no doubt thou.
sands Of your readers believe the
same.
It is boldly claimed by the press
that the German and italian vote
formerly supporting Mr.. Roosevelt
will largely support Mr.. Willkie. In
q very close election, the influence
Of Hitler and Mussolini may elect
our next President. Now won't that
be q pretty kettle Of Ash? And

October %. E. M. PETERSON.
TO the Editor of The Star:
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech in Phila-
delphia referred to the technique Of
the repetition of falsehood as hav-
ing been created and developed in
dictator countries. The technique
of repetiMon was highly developed,
If not created, by the Sophists Of
ancient Greece. 1t is true that this
vehicle Of fallacy, long dormant, was
again brought into use with the
advent of the latest revolution in
Russia, where it still flourishes like
the proverbial green bay tree.
Unfortunately, many Of the TECH
nicians Of this art Of deceit, devel-
oped in Russia and elsewhere in
Europe, have been exported to this
country, where they also ply their
art and flourish. Such is their skill
that some Of our best citizens, who
abhor deceit end that cardinal sin,
hypocrisy, have fallen victims and
unwittingly spread the fallacy Of
the latter day Sophist. Even Mr..
Roosevelt, now in the eighth year
of his tenure, Is not immune. He
often uses such terms as "underpriv-
ileged children" "underprivileged
classes" enemies of labor" ECO
nomic royalsts," etc. There are
none such in the sense that Mr..
Roosevelt uses these terms. The
beggar on the street, the crippled,
underfed child, and, yea, the felon
in his cell, all enjoy all the privi-
leges and immunities enjoyed by
other citizens Of this Republic.
Neither can industry produce, nor
the public consume, goods without
the application Of labor. Therefore
they are not enemies Of labor. II

To the Editor Of The Star:
Why Is 1t that so many Of our
great statesmen and patriots ESQ
called are making such q clamor
about the third-term nomination Of
President Roosevelt2 The loudest
noise and the silliest comes from
the venerable Senator from Cali

greater part Of his life In public
ONCE or campaigning for ONCE. 1t
seems to be all right for the john
sons, the Garners and many others
to hold once until they drop.
These wonderful lawmakers, I no.
tice, are not very active In promot-
ing legislation in the interest Of men
and women oyer 40 years Of age, still
they want To- hang on as long as

To the Editor Of The Star:
The November election is like
none other in our history because
never before have We been forced to
vote on a third term.
Certainly by no stretch of the
imagination could the second term
be judged so successful as to merit
q third one. Most of the ills which
plagued us in 1882 remain to this
hour. Unemployment still Is un-
solved, except by the purely tempo
rary and wholly wasteful re-arma-
ment program The Government
is twice as near bankruptcy as it
was in 1882, if we are to believe Mr..
Roosevelt's campaign utterances in
that year. Most of the so-called
prosperity" we have enjoyed has
been bought but not paid for. . .
After years of tinkering with eco
nomic questions we find that not the
farmer, nor labor, nor big or little
business. nor finance is happy. -
President Roosevelt is running
today because he has used the
power of his great Office, plus Gov
ernment spending to make it
impossible for any other candidate
to be nominated. He virtually
forced his own nomination and
high-handedly dictated Mr.. Wal
laces nomination. That was the
essence Of tyranny and should be
repudiatA by . free people.

The farmer gave up his liberty
when he accepted relief from the

charge his obligation when due he
begins to make excuses and by de-
grees comes to lose his own integrity.
If we wish to preserve our inde-
pendence. as all upright, free-born
Americans should, we must rid our
selves Of the tyrannical power that
has been with us for the past seven

Each time Mr.. Willkie makes q

nounced "Amawrka" by the Repub-

second term. Not only that, but he
was opposed to even a first term.
The great point is that he did not
accept the third term, though he
was a strong, able-bodied man OF
less than IS years.
But why stop with half-truths?
The following prophetic statements
also are from Washington's Fare
well Address to the American Peo-
pie: The alternate domination OF
one faction over another, sharp
ened by the spirit Of revenge, nat
ural to party dissension, which in
different ages and countries has
perpetrated the most horrid enormi-
ties, is itself q frightful despotism.
But this leads at length to q more
formal and permanent despotism.
The disorders and miseries which
result gradually incline the minds
of men to seek security and repose
in the absolute power Of an indi-
vidual; and sooner or later the
chief Of some prevailing faction,
more able or more fortunate than
his competitors, turns his disposition
to the purposes Of his own elevation
on the ruins Of public liberty.
1t is important, likewise, that the
habits Of thinking, in free country,
should inspire caution in those in
trusted with its administration, to
confine themselves within their re-
spective constitutional spheres,
avoiding in the exercise Of the pow
ers Of one department to encroach
upon another. The spirit of en-
croachment tends to consolidate the
powers Of all departments in one,
and thus to create, whatever the
form Of government. real despot-
