WELLS eR RR Maybe it’s because we’re from Georgia, wnere every young ‘un is “raised” with a hot biscuit in one hand and a fried chicken drumstick in the other, but we've always had a strong belief in the mellowing influence of vittles. If we were running the Demo- cratic campaign this year (which we aren’t) we'd round up the re- calcitrants, waverers, and defec- tive Democrats, take “em over to Gilchrist County and persuade the Young Democrats to put the feed bag on. At the district rally held at Fannin Springs last week enthusiasm and appetites ran high; we left Gilchrist so filled with Democracy, fried chicken and chicken pillau as to be prac- tically incapable of motion. All the pictures we've seen of W. Willkie indicate that he, too, likes his fodder. If he could be filled with Gilchrist chicken on election day we haven't the slightest doubt he'd find himself voting for FDR. Henry Fountain Ashurst, foun- tain of oratory, Arizona’s repre- sentative in the Senate for twen- ty-eight years, holder of import- ant Senate committee posts, has demonstrated that no one is in- dispensable or unbeatable. Time was when “seniority” would have been sure-fire protection, but these are changing times in everything including politics, and the ability to open one’s mouth and emit the dictionary in large chunks, plus the importance of committee seniority, no longer weighs so heavily in the minds of the folks “back home”. Peerless Pinellas, always the scene of a tug-o-war in election years, leads Florida in campaign activity. So far as we've seen over the state, they boast the first campaign headquarters. first po- litical signboard and the most high-powered publicity. Considerable controversy was aroused in "39 over the éxact date on which Americans should be ankful. In Florida we had two rkey days, owing to the inabil- ity of FDR and Fred Cone to get together on a date. This year the governor got the drop on the President and beat him to the draw. Florida’s day will be the traditional last Thursday. If FDR has picked his day, he hasn't confided it to us or the pres: Without regard to presidential or gubernatorial proclamation Americans have’ chosen their own Thanksgiving DAYS — 365 of them, on which to humbly give thanks for the blessings of liber- ty, and renew their determination to preserve them against all com- ers, no matter what the cost.

Neither side has seen the other's articles and there will be no rebuttal.) The Republican View By EDWARD R. BURKE Democrat, United States WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—All other issues give way before a determined effort to break down the traditional limitation on the presidential tenure of office. Today the reasons for preserv- ing that limitation are far more impelling than ever before. Amer- icans must rise in November and justify the faith of Thomas Jef- ferson, who declared: “Should a President consent to be a candidate for a third elec- tion, 1 trust he would be rejected on this demonstration of ambi- tious views”. | So Clas. If this be a matter so import- ant, it may be asked why it was not written into the Constitu- tion, or added by amendment. There were those who saw that it should be done. The majority felt that the danger could be averted by a wise distribution of powers and an indirect method of election. Thereafter, the example set b: Washington, followed by Jeffer- son, Madison and Monroe, who thought to have forever deter- mined that no President should be more than once re-elected. In the year of Jackson’s first in- auguration it was declared on the floor of the house by a member who later was elected President that an explicit amendment was mnnecessary because: “This principle is now as sacred as if it were written in the Con- stitution”. o ee Although many attempts at amendment have since been made, they have failed because public sentiment considered the unwritten law sufficiently bind- ing. It remains for the electorate « this year to so thoroughly repu- “diate a candidate whe acclaims himself the only one fitted to fill that high office that never again will any individual yield to such delusions of grandeur. Those who think clearly have long recognized that the greater the power attached to any office. the greater the danger of contin ing it long in the same hands. Jefferson so believed, That truth Senator From Nebraska was asserted over and over by Andrew Jackson. Another great Democrat, Grov- er Cleveland, said: “When we consider the patron- age of this great office, the allure- ments of power, the temptation to retain public office once again, and more than all the availability a party finds in an incumbent when a horde -of officeholders, a zeal born of benefits re- | ceived and fostered by the hope of favors yet to cume, stand ready to aid with money and trained political assistance, we recognize in the eligiblity of the President for re-election the most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent action. which must characterize a government by the people”. The vastly increased powers of the President are the impelling reason why we must not permit this wise provision of our unwrit- ten constitution to be repudiated. Our chief executive is today an all - powerful figure. Under his direction, reaching out into the nallest and most remote pre- cinct, there moves an army of civil servants swollen beyond the million mark and __ increasing daily. He disburses with a free hand each year uncounted billions. His anthority over the daily lives and activities of our people has pass- ed beyond all established bounds. The requirements of national de- fense will place at his disposal as commander-in-chief an army, a navy and an air-force more pow- erful than any the world has seen. eee Of him it may well be said: man, he doth bestride row world like a _ colos- To permit such a colossus to perpetuate himself in office would be, as both houses of Con- gress have declared. “unwise, un- patriotic, and fraught with peril to our free institutions”.
