LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 29

(U. P.).—The partial text of v Wendell Willkie’s speech herel|

For these reasons A erican citiZens, whether Republicans or Democrats, have been distressed by the degenerative process. in Washington during the last seven and a half years. During th years the Democratic Party has been in power nominally. But what has really been in power? Has it been the Democratic Party?| What has been the [influence cf men like John Garner of Texas; of men. like Senator Tydings of Maryland, of Senator Byrd, or Senator Carter Glass. |These men, staunch Democrats, and a host of their like, have had to fight against @ new party, a rash and overbearing party—the party of the New Deal.

‘A LITTLE GROUP OF MEN’

This New Deal party consists of : / a candidate, and a little group of / men in large part unknown to our people. The candidate is vested with the enormous powers of Presidency. The little group of unbelieving and gmbitious men are the beneficiaries’ of those powers. This party grew up in Washington out of the Democratic Party, and funguslike, has suffocated it. It is unlike the Democratic Party. And as fatal to it, as the fungus is the oak. It is this New Deal party that now makes its ultimate grasp for power—the repeal of the rule against the third term—that its reign may continue in perpetuity. ~ We are not governed by written laws alone. © No men| are. The greater part of our daily life is governed by our unwritten common law, developed from the usage and the custom of generatibpns of men. It is that unwritten common law which gives effect to the promises of merchants and thel ite ties of family affection. It definés most of our rights. , : Thus good principle and usage tested by generations of men have made this the common law of the United States: That no/man should be eligible for a third| consecutive term as President. Unquestionably, the people of this country may repeal that law. . . For the first time in |our history, the American people will vote directly on this question;

DECISION IRREVOCABLE

You must determine whether that law is a good or bad one. Your decision upon that point will be irrevocable. If you repeal that law, there will never again pe any limit upon continual self-appointment of Presidents to office, by| any means. The question of free | government involved is much more important than the personalities |involved. What shall guide us to a right conclusion on this impprtant question? One course is to heed the accumulated wisdom of] men skilled in the art of government, with experience in the office of President, and of whose sincerity and integrity there can be no question. When George Washington came to the end of his second term, Europe was convulsed py war. The most powerful nations,| France and England, were at each others throats. Spain. Austria and many German and. Italian States were ultimately embroiled. Efforts were being made by the several belligerents and by factions in this country, to force abandonment of our neutrality and to get us into their wars. Th times were as perilous as

mon consent of all his countrymen, was best qualified to see us through by takjng a third term. He was qualified not only because he had had experience as President, but because he had had character. But that very character, that very quality of greatness which made a third term safe in his hands, impelled him to renounce it. . . .

CITES JACKSON

Since Washington's -time, and until the appearance of the New Deal party, the Democratic Party has been an active advocate of this rule.. Its first President, Thomas Jefferson, crystallized the tradition to make it a settled rule of our law. . ..

party, and of the country, Andrew Jackson, feinforced that rule by obedience 'to ‘it. He earnestly urged a limit on the time that Presidents might serve, a limit shorter than eight years.

At the hundredth anniversary of Washington's refusal of the third term, the Democratic Party. declared it td be “the unwritten law of this republic, established by custom and usage . . . and sanctioned by the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our government, that no man

‘| should be eligible for a third term

of the Presidential office.” . . . The longer any man remains in office, the greater grows his desire for power; the more convinced he becomes that his ideas-are the only sound ideas, the less important to him become constitutional safeguards. We should fear much more the man whose original motives have been pure and good, for he will more easily convince himself that further increase of power, and greater release from constitutional limitations are required that he may do what it seems to him ouglit to be done. That, to some extent, has already happened here. The determined effort to pack the Supreme Court is evidence of it. So is the effort to purge the Congress. So is the fact that our current President has never surrendered any of the “emergency” powers given to him by Congress.

REFERS TO PURGE

The third term candidate has made the argument that we can protect ourselves against Presidential self perpetuation in office by our votes at the end of the third term. . . In theory, the people can protect themselves at the polls, if their votes are free and are counted. But praciically, it is extremely diffcult

these. Washington, by the com-

The great’ popular hero “of that’

term candidate has become, and now is, one of the most powerful rulers “in the world. His powers have been increased to the point where his control of the currency, of .commuiiications, of labor, and of agriculfiire rivals in many respects those of European dictators. He has felt his power to be great enough to purge those members of Congress in his own party who disagree with him. He has, through. “must” legislation, decreased what laws the Congress shall adopt, and has enforced his will through cuntrol over public expenses. . . . He may grant or withhold his bounty to the 15 million people who are dependent on Federal relief. He controls the letting of hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts. He is at the head of a horde of more than one million Federal employees on the Government payroll—almost double the number before he took office. . . .

CLAIMS WPA INCREASED

Bear those things in mind and you have some idea of the power of the New Deal. The American people today have their final opportunity to protect themselves against perpetuation in that powerful office. In his speech last week, the third term candidate took to himself, as an achievement, the fact that in August and September employment increased by 900,000 men. But the WPA rolls increased from the first part of July to the first part of October by more than 150000 men. More than 150,000 men were added to WPA in the very period that the President boasted of as showing great gains in employment. In other words, during this campaign while the President says ems ployment was increasing, the figure show the WPA rolls were increasing. Why do you suppose that happened? They did it to help perpetuate themselves. . To illustrate the operation of those powers of the President, you need only recall that in the socalled Democratic convention of last summer, the name of Thomas Jefferson, was booed. Where now is the historic Democratic Party? Where now is the party of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Cleveland, and of Woodrow Wilson? Why, Wendell Willkie is the only candidate fighting for their principles. The American people are aware today. They know what it would mean to repeal the law against a third-term.

KENNEDY TO TALK: SUBJECT IS SECRET

NEW YORK, Oct. 29 (U. P)— Joseph P. Kennedy, American Ambassador to Great Britain, speaks over a national broadcasting network tonight but mystery shrouds his subject. The Democratic National Committee announced it. would relinquish a half-hour of the time it had reserved for political speeches so he could speak. The address will be carried over a 114-station network of the Columbia Broadcasting System from 8 to 8:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Time.) Rumors that Ambassador Kennedy was planning to resign his diplomatic post, that he would oppose the third term candidacy of President Roosevelt and that he had broken with the chief executive on national foreign policy could not. be confirmed. However, the Democrats were giving up half their hour’s program. But the national committee announced that “it was not sponsoring Mr. Kennedy's talk.”
