: President Roosevelt run: :

L__Fidelity

By Institute of Opinion, PRINCETON, N. , It you happen to your lawyer for political advice this fall in case President Roosevelt -runs for a third term, the chances today are that he will probabl tell you to vote Republican. A survey conducted among a cross-| s tion of the law profession, as listed in standard ie gal directories, shows that lawvers themselves are predominantly against a third term for that other (well-known member of the

a! bar, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Asked in the Insitute survey, {If s for a third U.S.

term will you vote for him?”

lawyers divide as follows:

ait cali ifs . 299% 71% Other Institute tests indicate that there may be a oh among U. S. intelligentsia on the. point, however, for in a special survey conducted . in conjunction with the “Saturday Review of Literature” recently -a cross-section of American authors and writer s was found slightly in favor another term for Mr. Roosevelt. The three special groups are arrayed as follows on the question:

Meanwhile the Institute studies of Mr. and Mrs. [Average American show that a third term is op+ - posed generally, of by the Spal margin of 53 to 47 When members of “Who's Who? , and the authors are lumped togefh- * er according to their political pre- |" dilections,| the restilt provides ‘an interesting picture of whom the Re-| publican and Democratic intelli-| gentsias favor for President this November:

HALLECK FILES

Seeks G. 0. P. Renomination On Anti-New Deal Platform.

Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Rensselaer, for four years the only Indiana Republican in Congress, today filed formal notice of his candidacy for the G. O. P. renomination in the Second District. First elected to Congress in 1934, Rep. Halleck was the ‘lone Republican from Indiana until 1939 when six other G. O. P. Congressmen joined him following Republican gains in the 1938 election. Running against him for the nomination this year will be Frederick Landis of Logansport, who announced his candidacy several weeks ago. . { Issues Statement

The Townsend Old-Age Pension group recently announced it would oppose Mr. Halleck and indicated its support might be thrown to Mr. Landis, ‘|

tion with his candidacy, Mr. Halleck said: “Several thousand Republicans in the Second District have signed petitions urging me to sontinus my service in Congress. “During last five years IT

% | have supported constructive legisla-

tion which seemed in the best interest of the country. I have opposed with every power at] my command | those policies of |the New Deal which have added tg the misery of continuing unemployment, low farm prices and demoralizing depression. I have no in ention of abandcning the fight. i 4

For Free Enterprise

“In the 1940 election {he vpters of Indiana are to make| a fateful choice—real Americanism| and 'permanent recovery or alien doctrines and continuing depression. “My banner is nailed high on the mast of constitutional vernment, and free enterprise.

CARNER GROUP

BUILDING HOPES ON WISCONSIN

Expects to Reveal Strength In Primary Drive Against | Third Term Wing.

| By LYLE C. WILSON || United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 26. —Vice President John N, Garner is said by his supporters here to be assured of gaining national convention delegate strength in the Wisconsin preferential primary a week irom today. Mz. Garner and President Roosevelt are opposed in Wisconsin in the first significant test of third * }term sentiment. The state's draftRoosevelt movement is- reported here to be strong but Garner managers insist that the New Deal wing of the Democratic Party will not make a clean primary sweep. Two other Midwestern states were promised to the third term cause p> Democratic spokesman. Addressing a Baltimore, Md., audience last

night, Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt said Indi-

lana’s 28 delegates would be for Mr.

Roosevelt if he term.

Illinois Primary Not Binding

President Homer Matt, Adams of|, the Young Democrats’ Clubs, with headquarters in Illinois, appeared at the White House asserting that the state’s 58 delegates would be for Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. Mr. Garner and.the President are opposed in the April 9 Illinois primary. It is not binding. Wisconsin sends 24 delegates to both the Republican and Democratic national conventions.- The Demosrasie primary is complicated y the entry of two third-term slates, one pledged to Mr. Roosevelt, and the other to a Roosevelt-Farley combination. Postmaster General James A. Farley, however, is not generally regarded here as a contestant in the Wisconsin contest. But the presence of two ‘Roosevelt slates in opposition to a single Garner slate may divide the third-term vote to the advantage of Garner candidates. ’

Dewey Seeks Midwest Backing

Mr. Garner and Mr. Rdosevelt also are opposed in Oregon, California and Illinois primaries. Mr.

sought another

on the Oregon ticket yesterday. The Republican contest in Wisconsin is between Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) and District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York. It is the first test of their comparative strength and of he ability of Mr. Dewey to translate his unquestionably considerable popular support into national convention votes. Mr. Dewey is campaigning for Midwestern and Wisconsin support but Mr. Vandenberg is avoiding the stump although he made last night one of his comparatively rare speeches off the Senate floor.

6. 0. P. METHOD BECOMES CLEAR

Vandenberg, Like Fellow Candidates, Sticks to” ~ Middle of Road.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 26.—Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg's campaign speech last. night reflects vividly both the strength and weakness of the Republican effort. to unseat the New Deal. It is significant because it is one of the few pre-convention speeches he | will make, and because he is a much more experienced politician [than the two other leading G. O. P./ contenders. : But, like Senator Robert Taffpand Thomas E. Dewey, Senator Vandenberg in his broadcast found it much easier to shoot the mistakes yaad inadequacies of the ew! Deal than to particularize on a | constructive. Republican alternative. As one of the -originators of the newer Republican technique of accepting some good purposes of the New Deal while rejecting its allegedly bad methods, the gentleman from Michigan tries to keep ‘in the middle of the road. He found this effective in surviving the Democratic landslide in Michigan in 1934, when he held 52 per cent of the vote. And naturally he thinks this is the best strategy for the national ticket in 1940.

Stresses Four Possibilities

In answering the questions last nisht as to “what will be the determining issues in the November elections?” he stressed four possibilities: (1) Third-term, (2) War involvement, (3) Government attitude toward private business and Government powers, (4) Government spending and deficits. Specifying that the first two, of course, are unknown quantities depending. chiefly on President yRaoses velt, he said; “By next November, either or both of these contingencies: might be the paramount concern. I can well imagine a third-term issue rising to this magnitude, particularly at a restless moment when dictatorship has democracy by the throat all around the globe. . . Similarly if the war were to drift toward our involvement—say, for the sake of argument, in the pattern of the President’s famous Chicago speech im favor of ‘gquarantines’—the voters might forget all else.” There has never been any doubt that, if Mr. Roosevelt runs again, Republicans will try to make the third-term and alleged dictatorship the dominating campaign issue, But neither Senator Vandenberg, nor President Roosevelt, nor anybody knows how the electorate would react to that issue.

Times Not Normal

Most politicians are reasonably certain that a third term is impos-’ sible in normal times, but is possible in a supreme national emergency, such as being on the verge of a popular war. But it is important that Senator Vandenberg, who opposed the .President’s pro-Ally revision of the neutrality law, is challenging the Roosevelt foreign policy and talking of the’ possibility of war involvement. So are candidate Taft, G. O. P. leader Alf M. Landon and others. Before November they may be able to make this an explosive issue against Mr. Roosevelt or Sec-

retary of State Cordell Hull, if eith-

er is a candidate. On his third issue, Senator Vandenberg said: {We are talking less about government in business and

more business in government.”

Jury free to inquire into more seri- ||

ous law violations. This, "he ex-

plained, helps assure -a defendant |}f

Opposes ‘Unequal Taxes’

In making his announcement, he said the small merchant must be relieved of his “unequal tax burden,” and ‘the existing purchasing power of incomes must be improved. He added that social security legislation must be made more inclusive and more practicable and said tax law revision and limits upon Government activity are needed. He said the driving power of private capital must be released. : Mr. Murchie served four’ years as deputy prosecutor under Herbert M. Spencer and one year under Prosecutor Lewis, resigning to enter .the private practice of law. Born in New ‘Hampshire, he attended India University Law School, playing on the I. U. football team ‘in 1915 and 1916. He was track captain in 1916. : He served overseas with the 327th Artillery | in the World War as a first lieutenant.
