Franklin Roosevelt will go down
in history as the greatest keeper of
a secret in American politics.
For more than two years scores of
friends. Democratic leaders, news­
men and others tried their hand at
worming from him some hint on the
third term question. None succeed­
ed until the Democratic convention
was only a week away—and this
one, Jim Farley, in turn sealed
his own lips.
Except for Farley, there wasn't a
person on earth who could say he
had heard from Roosevelt himself
what he planned to do.
There were many to whom he said
that he did not want to run. There
were some to whom he voiced a
preference for Secretary of State
Cordell Hull as his successor. But
there was no one. including mem­
bers of his family, to whom the
President gave the slightest clue
whether he would run again.
