TtOUTIO TO MILWAl'KKIO. Oct. 21.
fAP) Wendell L. Willkie. at
tacking President Roosevelt's third
term candidacy, declared today that
under "one man rule" the first'
things to be curbed are labor un
ions, churches and education.
"The precedent once established,
even assuming that the president
man has the noblest motives, will
be used by some successor to take
away this life oT ours.' the repub
lican nominee said at Wausaii. Wis.
He ipioted letters from Thomas
Jefferson in support of his conten
tion -that the iwo-lerm tradition
should lie preserved. Jefferson, lie
paid, once wrote that should a presi
dent ever consent to be a candidate
for a third term, "I trust he will be
rejected on this demonstration of
his ambitious views."
There Is great danger, Willkie
contended, that once a president
has been elected for several terms,
he will seek the office for life.
