Roose- velt will begin his second admi tration with the American tradi- tion of “no third term for Presi- dents” still unbroken. One of the questions which im- mediately bobbed up with his re- election, was whether he might be included four years from now to brush aside the no-third-term cus- tom as he has already shattered several political, party and Presi- dential precedents. Mr. Roosevelt has Gemonstrated that he is no respecter of tradition merely for tradition’s sake. His first four years in office have in no way committed him, so far as the public knows, either to the candi- dacy of any one else for the Demo- | cratic nomination in 1940 or to re- “Tomorrow’s Styles Today” PRE-HOLIDAY SPECIALS Dresses, Coats Milliner Y Incidental Gift Items _ a third term stirred heated public THE SECOND TERM o. 3—F.

Only two men, Ulysses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt, have been candidates for third terms.| Their candidacies, however, follow-| ed intervening administrations and Grant failed of third-term nom- ination. 1 Washington, who was the only President unanimously re-elected, made known to intimates early in the last year of his second admin- istration that he would décline a third term. He had rot been the candidate of any particular party, and there is little doubt that he could have been re-elected again if he had desired. Jackson Favored One Term Jefferson announced after his sec- ond inauguration that he would not be a candidate ag; Andrew | Jackson, in his first message to| Congress, expressed the opinion that it was advisable to limit the service of the Chief Executive to a single term of four or six years. He repeated this recommendation in several messages. An idol of the masses, General Jackson acceded to demands of his followers to seck a second term. He made no effort to obtain a third term although some of his enthus- iastic suppdrters maintained he | cou:d keep on being re-elected as leng as he lived. However, he stepped out of office just in time to escape “the terrible panic of 1827." DOOR OPEN ill he make it?" Grant, credited with having been Grant Movement Killed Two years before Grant's turbu- lent second term expuired, it was rumored he would be a candidate for a third term. In a letter to a Pennsylvania Republican, he said “I do not want a third term any more than I did the first.” But he added that the people were not restricted to two terms by the con- ition. President Grant said that the time might come when it would be unfortunate to make a change at the end of eight years and that he would not acgept a nomination | “unless it should come under cir- cumstances as to make it impera- tive—circumstances not likely to ari " This “leaving the door open” to U President departure from this tir custom would be and fraught institutions.” honored unpatriotic to our free The the huge was supp ocratic members 88 'Republican voted.
