FOURTH TERM DATA

Not much has been said about it
publicly, but already the question OF
the Fourth Term has come in for
lot of backstage discussion.
Republicans, worried about it,
want to do everything possible to
block it. And in the vicinity of the
White House, some of those who
would like to stay around indefinite
ly, want to do everything possible to
encourage it.
But those closest to the President
are convinced that there will be no
Fourth Term. Even if he could get
it, they say that this is the last
thing Roosevelt wants.
Or even if there should be ire
mendous demand on the part of the
public against changing horses in
midstream, they don't think the
President would yield. His ideals
for preservation of the democratic
system are too deep-rooted, they
say, for him to continue in office for
what would be total of 16 years.
However, the President does have
one very definite political goal, and
that is to retain control of congress
during his two remaining years in
office.
He remembers all too clearly,
when he was assistant secretary of
the navy, the chaos which the coun-
try faced when Woodrow Wilson lost
control of the house of representa-
tives. He also remembers the trou-
bles faced by Herbert Hoover, Cal
vim Coolidge and his cousin Teddy
Roosevelt when they faced rebel
lious congress during their last two
years in office.
So the President is out to win the
house, and win it at all costs next
November. To that end he will leave
Notwithstanding he hasn't
done since 1940-and take a swing
through the Middle West some time
in October.

''The point you have to WATCH"
he said, sis the human limit. You
can't afford to pass that point. In
my many years of coaching I've
seen squads brought up to 80 per
cent efficiency when it came to
blocking or tackling. When we tried
to lift this 80 per cent to IS per cent
by harder work and longer time, on
almost every occasion the squad
would drop back to rs per cent or
even 70 per cent. They were willing
enough to give all they had, but
physical and mental fatigue would
leave it's poison and the extra work
was worse than wasted. 1t was

JOBS TO REPUBLICANS

Some of FDR's political advisers,
among them Democratic Chairman
Ed Flynn, tell him privately that
the battle to control the house in
November will not be easy. One
trouble is patronage.
Patronage is a word which may
bring bad smell to the public, but
to the politician it is like the smell
of raw meat to circus lion. He
will not perform without it.
Back in the early days of the
New Deal, Jim Farley kept a little
card index of how every congress-
man voted on important issues and
what jobs he had received. When
the congressman stopped voting
right, he stopped getting jobs for
his constituents. That system
worked like charm-for while.
But in recent years Roosevelt him
self has given more and more jobs
to Republicans, while Leon Hender-
son, the greatest job dispenser of
war times, has placed everything in
the hands of state governors, a large
proportion of them Republicans.
So today, the Presidents political
friends say that his definition of pa
tronage is: Something which you
hold out to your friends, but use to
reward your enemies"
And these friends have had the
short end of the patronage stick for
so long that, as November ap-
proaches, FDR is finding lot of
the old politicoes unwilling to go to
bat for him, while the rewarded enc
mics won't stay put.
So the congressional elections are
going to be tougher than a lot of
people realize, and you will probably
see certain seasoned political sea-
dogs, among them Ed Flynn, resign
ing from the picture before many
weeks are over.
Note: Patronage under the old
congressional system had lot of
faults, but it was not half as bad as
under the present dollar-a-year man
system, where somebody gets key
WPB job or a cellophane commits
sion merely because he is the friend
of a big accounting firm or a part
ner of. a Wall Street broker.
