If Koo,evrlt U Sure of Victory Hell Run; By WILLIAM BRUCKART Senator Burke, new proposition. It has been sug- -' gested before as long ago as Presip . dent Jackson's term but it takes on a new significance now. Its new importance is not because of Senator Burke's declared intention to press the thing through to enact- -' ment so much as in the fact that "third term talk is all over the I place these days.

The Washington correspondent or observer usually can as to the presidential get a tip-of- f mind in ordinary matters, but not so regarding the third term. Thus, having made a reassuring statement that this is only a guess as to the future, I shall try to put the puzzle sections together and .make a prediction. There are many, many factors to be examined. Without them, there can be no judgment as to the circumstance. With them in full view, certain conclusions appear inescapable. Note that I said "appear. I use that word for the reason that Mr. Roosevelt is one of the few men ever to occupy the .White House whose whole attitude may change completely overnight on any given subject. Mr. Roosevelt Revels In the Presidency Mr. Roosevelt has a consuming desire to go down in history as a great President. There can be no .doubt of that. He wants history to show him as an outstanding friend of the people, the masses. He will let nothing prevent him from that course if it is within his power. If there is one trait in the makeup of the man that transcends others, I believe it is his desire to establish new precedents. We speak iff him as precedent-breakeThat is incorrect. He likes to make new ones! No other President has ever done more than make motions about a third term. Mr. Roosevelt would not be disturbed by the fact that never before had any President occupied the White House for 12 years. I suspect that he would enjoy doing that sort of thing. And when I mention enjoyment, I need to refer at the same time to the very well known fact that Mr. Roosevelt enjoys being President. That is, he has what we say is a "good time on the job. There is no real weariness for him as Chief Executive. Within the range of my quarter of a century as an observer, there has been no other President who so reveled under the generally accepted tremendous burden iff the presidency. ! r. President's Popularity Has Religious Fervor Behind the scenes, no President has ever had a hallelujah chorus of so many voices around him. There has never been a President with such great personal popularity as Mr. Roosevelt. The combination of these things, the continual songs of praise that he hears from his close advisors and the adoring multitudes well, I firmly believe that no living man can maintain the equilibrium necessary for sound and sane thinking while such fervor toward him is shown. Seldom, if ever before, has any President had the same type of protheorists, starry - eyed moting dreamers around him. The country semi-religio- us i V never has had an administration as radical as Mr. Roosevelt's regime. At no time have as many crackpots. schemers, theorists with untried panaceas had a chance to get their plans put into action. Some are workable; most of them are not. The fact that some have worked, however, is the very reason the whole crew sticks around and keeps plugging for further trials of this, that or the other. For most of these folks, it is the first time in public life, their first entry into national office with authority. They like it. Also, they like the It is natural that they want payroll. to stay. to $49,167. The Politic In Idaho. Republicans were jubilant. In Ohio, they were hopeful. In Arkansas, where they never had a chance.

But as homeward-boun- d lin Roosevelt looked at rapidly mounting primary returns from his 48 states last week he must have wondered whether his next congress ' would be any more coherent than the last.

To most observers it looked like congress would again be. a WSV Service, National Preaa Bldg., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON. Girdler Storms Strike Quiz Mean-whil- e It's a Waiting Game with President Holding Cards, Says Observer the Nebraska Democrat, has come ' forward with a proposition fixing the ' term of the President of the United States at six years and limiting the individual to one term. It is not a People Effort to Restore Party e To Democrats There is, beside aU of these factors, the differences within the party of which Mr. Roosevelt is the titular head. I believe that the Democratic party machinery was completely taken over by the radical wing, and so now there is a definite effort under way to restore the party control to old and tried Democrats. That is to say, the effort is to unhorse the type of men like Ickes, Wallace, e of politiCorcoran, Minton of Indiana, and cal thought without party lines, Senothers of that stripe'. Men like Judiciously timed, the National ator Harrison and Vice President councils report on conEmergency Garner, and even Jim Farley, do ditions in the South was released not like to see those other fellows in a position of responsibility. .They believe in the Democratic party for Democrats. So, it is quite apparent that the struggle for party control is a rough and tumble fight from now on, because there is a convention of the party to be held in 1940, and it is not too early to line up delegates.. Were it not for the battle ahead and the desire of those surrounding Mr. Roosevelt to keep on with his reforms and the jobs Mr. Roosevelt j Old-Lin- I multi-colore- hodge-podg- d i would control the 1940 convention. His declarations ,oi a "purge of the party has made it impossible for him to control the convention without a fight. That is to say, he will be unable to pick the 1940 nominee (to carry out his plans) without a five-ye- ar 3. l&st WCke A seldom-fallibsign of U.
