THE CENTRE REPORTER,
Politicians Believe Roosevelt
Now Campaiging for Third Term
Bombshell by Ickes and Blast by Secretary Early Accepted
As Having Presidential Approval; Attacks Upon
Garner Are Without Justification,
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON.—Politics long has
been’ described as a game, and it
is. In consequence, there are cer-
tain ruies to be followed. They are
rules that are born of experience,
and the participants in the game of
politics know full well what will hap-
pen when those rules are violated.
Outstanding among these rules—
none of which are written, of course
-is a thorough understanding by a
President of the United States that
he must remain silent about his
choice of a successor just as long as
it is possible to do so. Otherwise,
he obviously loses some of the sup-
port that he can command from
members of his party. Any pro-
nouncement that he favors this one
or looks with disfavor upon that one
immediately produces a split. Those |
not blessed with the presidential
smile become embittered and assert
their enmity.
Another rule is that once a man
is elected President, he automat-
ically becomes a candidate for a
second term. This results from the
fact that whether he is good, bad or
indifferent as the head of the polit-
ical party that sponsored him, that
party cannot dump him overboard
for the of party

I find the general question being
asked:
Why is notice being taken now
of rumors and half-truths which
have thus far been ignored through
six years of the administration, un-
less it is the purpose to dispose
of them in advance of another cam-
paign?
I hear also this question:
How can the voters express *‘con-
tempt” for these false rumors and
vilifications unless by a vote for Mr.
Roosevelt, personally?
The answers to these questions,
of course, will vary. Those who
are heart and soul with Mr. Roose-
velt are saying naturally that he
wants to put an end to the unfair
and poisonous attacks by answering
them openly. Those who want to
stand by the two-term tradition are

berg, of Michigan. Now, Senator
Vandenberg has come forth with a
real issue. He proposed, in reply-
ing to an urge by the Michigan
representatives in congress that
he run for the Republican nomina-
tion, that the presidential term be
limited; that is, he says no man
should have more than four years
at the job.
It is a new thought. It is a hot
one at the moment, Whether Sena-
tor Vandenberg can smoke out Mr,
Roosevelt on the issue is something
else again, but the Michigan sena-
tor has taken a position that will
provoke debate. Along with that
sideswipe at Mr. Roosevelt, how-
ever, Mr. Vandenberg has raised a
rumpus in his own party. Many Re-
publicans are getting pretty cocky
about their own outlook for 1040,
and the injection of the Vandenberg
philosophy into the picture possibly
could stir up as much fuss among
the Republicans as has been stirred
up on the Democratic side by the
gentral uncertainties of the Presi
ent's course.
