The association sent out month

For months it has been our idea
that the President was more than

those who were agitating it for him;
that he could have it il he would
take it: that he would do 50, and

Third Term Drive

When North Carolina falls for the
third term idea, it is a fair bet that
the battle in the country at large is
all but won. And today the State is
witnessing the beginning OF that
fight.
No matter what Thomas Jeffer-
son, one Of the'founding fathers of
the party, may have thought about
it, this is 1910 with a good vote-get-
ter rounding out the traditional two
terms and desiring another, and with
his satellites, job-holderS and job
hunters Just as anxious to hold on to
what they have or to get what they
wish.
The third term movement already
has won handsome support in other
states, 50 much 50 that many party
StalWartS in this State think they
are safe in undertaking the cam
paign here. They will make so much
noise that many who are against
breaking with age-old party tradi-
tons will fear to put up the stiff re-
sistance they would like and which
is in their hearts. Then there will
be the bandWagon bunch, always
anxious to run along with the big
majority.
Up to now there has been lot of
off-the-record talk against another
term for the President, but if this
movement gathers the momentum
its sponsors confidently think it will
you are going to hear much less OF
that from here on. The party lash
can and often does overcome convic-
tions and cOnScienceS. 1t most like
ly will in this instance, in large
measure.
Success of the new movement will
be a fairly definite yardstlck with
which to measure the amount OF
genuine liberalism that actually
exists in this State. There may be
more of it than some are willing tc
admit. short Of an actual demonstra-
ton of its force and strength. II
this third term drive there will be
fresh opportunity for expression OF
the part of large elements Of voter!
who in recent years have given then
support to gubernatorial candidate:
who have dared to buck what once
was called the machine. OF the
