RAYMOND MOLEY
BLASTS THIRD TERM
c. - - -


vention in Chicago last summer al
"a chain gang moving to the prac
ticed Oawling Of machine bench
men" Mr.. Moley declared, "The meI
and women who composed 1t did moi
think they nodded. They did moi
vote their convlnctions. They sur
rendered to their appetites. They did
not select a candidate. The candidate
selected himself"
Opposing the plan being followed
IN advancing another term for Pres
ident Roosevelt, Mr.. Moley said;
"The artful Third Termers now
try to justify themselves on the
ground that they are not challenging
something that is written in the
Constitution. Therefore, they say.
their scheme is legitimate. Let US
Tut the knife of reason into that
flatulent assumption.
"A thousand years Of Anglo-Amer-
ican history stand behind us when
we assert that liberty has lived by
what is unwritten just as surely as
by what is written"
Traditions Are Strong
Mr.. MOley stated II is a fact that
the present administration can now
get around almost every written
structure in the Constitution. "The
administration has met devastating
defeat only when it tried to get
around structures that are unwritten
-tc get around our traditions" he
said. This is a commentary on the |
strength of the unwritten cOnstitu- |
tional guarantees. But it is also a |
warning that if they too are to be
Cast aside, nothing will remain to |
hinder the progress Of an executive |
swollen with power. Moth
ing can stop it. Nothing will be be-
yond its reach"
