The Teck
By H. M. L. Jr.
It is downright unkind of Roosewelt’s henchmen to threaten the Am@rican public at this time with a
third term for the Personal Ruler.
This country “as already suffered
‘worry enough because of the expensive extravaganza of New Deal social
and economic experiments. The American audience has tired qf the Administration’s song and dance. The
public has discovered that the purwhase of tickets to the Roosevelt
fantasy in government will keep it
Paying through the nose long after
the curtain has dropped on _ the
show. Now, in the midst of all the
tribulations of the Roosevelt depression ,we are ‘aunted by Senator Norris, wo clarions that unless the
public stops opposing the man in the
White House, the hero Roosevelt will
be forced (against his will) to run
for a third term. It is really more
than we should have to bear.

Of the evils which beset the United States, none is more disheartening than the possibility of an additional four years of government with
Hyde Park charmer in the saddle.

Presidential calibre, who could or
