course.

“I see him as a third term candi- |

date no matter what they say,” the

Congressman declared.

Asked if he based this observa-| tion on Woodrow Wilson's re- elec- | tion, Rep. Fish said: “Not that alone. The American people have more than once proved themselves reluctant to change horses in the middle of the stream.” Mr. Fish said he “didn’t know enough about it” to comment on Indiana's Congressional campaign. “You're all politicians or statesmen in Indiana,” he said. Homer E. Capehart, Buffalo industrialist, and Forrest A. Harness, Fifth District Congressional candidate, also spoke at Huntington. Mr. Capehart replied to an attack which he said had been made upon him by Rep. Gienn Griswold, incumbent Democrat, who opposes Mr. Harness. “Mr. Griswold has attacked me, en ivate citizen, by stating that my | only interest in this campaign was | to reduce my taxes and that myself | and my corporation are in receivership in Ft. Wayne,” Mr, Capehart| declared. He said the statements were untrue and that he was not a candi- | date for public office. Mr. Harness also assailed the Democratic Congressman terming/| Bim an “Administration, mp yesman.”

would welcome election of “liberal” Republicans. It draws even stronger support from a hitherto unrevealed fact, vouched for by a reliable authority, |that President Roosevelt, in recent weeks, has been sounding out such la possibility, in talks with independent political leaders who are not strongly bound by party ties. The President, as represented, has not directly indicated he was going to take such a step, but has started the idea to germinating among prominent figures who might be expected to be sympathetic.

Believe Third Term Out

Fanciful as it may seem, it fits in with Mr. Roosevelt's known firm determination to leave as a heritage, if possible, a realignment of parties, his disregard for precedents, and

his course since he first became President, particularly in the last year. The theory is based on two suppositions held by those who know something of the President's aims and psychology. One is that President Roosevelt does not intend to seek a third term, despite all the hullaballoo and speculation on this subject. The other is the belief that conservatives may capture the 1940 Democratic comwention or be such a powerful influence that that body will nominate some compromise, middle-of-the-road candidate rather than a New Dealer of the type preferred by Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt, it is held, would not himself be the candidate of the third party but would handpick its candidate and throw himself wholeheartedly, with all his political tal-

Time after time, the people have repudiated these selfish interests by their support of liberal leaders.”

Townsend Defends Security Policies

Times Special GREENFIELD, Oct. 5.—Governor Townsend defended the social security policies of his administration at a Democratic rally here last night. “From the day that the program of old-age assistance went into effect until Sept. 1, 1938, a total of | 816,570,224 has been approved by the State for the old people of Indiana,” he said. “Not one dime of assistance went into the pockets of the old people until the Democratic State Adminis= tration, acting in accord with the Pemocratic National Administration, began this worthwhile program. “At a cost of several millions of dollars, we lowered the age requirement for those entitled to oldage assistance, because we realized that when a man reaches 65 years of age in this swift-moving world, he deserves to rest. “Not only has the State govern-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES ‘Cotton Ed’ Is ‘Hoppin’ Mad’

“Cotton Ed,”

Senator Ellison DuRant Smith of South Carolina was still “hoppin’ mad” when this picture was taken at Washington shortly after his request for a conference between President Roosevelt and a group of Southern Senators was refused. Although the White House insisted who recently was renominated despite vigorous Roosevelt opposition, was just too late in asking an appointment, Senator Smith saw a direct snub, complained angrily. Senators and farm representatives seeking an increase in the cotton loan rate from 83 cents a pound to more than 11 cents.

Anybody who knows President Roosevelt knows that, if he is decided against a third term, he would not be content to retire to the sidelines, and that it would be typically Rooseveltian, and in charIt would be one of those magnificent adventures for which the Roosevelt family is famous. Teddy Roosevelt made one in 1912 and, about him the present Roosevelt] has drawn some of those who par-| ticipated in that venture, notably Interior Secretary Ickes, a hardhitting, two-fisted fighter. Those who believe that President Roosevelt is likely to step out in a third party venture in 1940 cite, among other evidence, the recent “purge” attempt. Mr. Roosevelt, they say, was realistic enough and

could not get very far, in view of the setup against him, but by drawing a line between his sort of Democrats and the other kind, he was beginning missionary work. He was addressing his followers all over the country.
