The Vexing Fourth Term
After thinking over the president’s announced in
tention of running for a fourth term, we, being a more
or less lifetime democrat, hardly know what to say.
We were not in favor of a third term, to begin with,
and, frankly, we are not in favor of a fourth term
either.
In our mind there is no question of the ability of Mr.
Roosevelt in the diplomatic end of his duties, but there
are many serious failures of home difficulties unsolved
that could be pointed out, and are sure to be by the
opposition party before this campaign is ended. And
many of them will be stressed so hard% and with a lot
of truth, that it will be a very close race. Mr. Roosevelt
is well able to carry on the duties required of him, and
he has so successfully hid any light from any successor
that right now there appears to be none in the demo
cratic ranks who could measure up to the job.
We have a hunch that Mr. Roosevelt will not be the
president very long, anyway, if he is re-elected, for as
we see it, when peace comes following the collapse of
Germany, there will be an attempt made to set up a
world court, or a league of nations or whatever they
mind to call it, and who could better head it than Mr.
Roosevelt? In case he was elected he might resign the
presidency and whoever is elected vice president will
become presidnt. Now that is merely our opinion in the
matter, and it may be all wrong and away off the mark.
The place to watch on the tickets for the coming elec
tion this fall will be the second place on the democratic
ballot. As this is written, the day before the democratic
convention takes place, the second place favorite is still
uncertain, but we hope it is a strong man. It will cer
tainly need to be.

A s you m ay have read in the newspapers, the Office o f
Defense Transportation has given the railroad authority
to take train space from civilian passengers at any time, to
make room for wounded service men.
We sincerely hope that people planning tript not essential
to the war effort will cancel their plans so that more room will
be left on trains, and so make it unnecessary to take these
drastic steps. We are going to take care of these wounded men
first. They come first with us, and we believe they come first
with you. But we and other railroads would dislike very much
to cancel reservations at the last minute, or to make people
already on trains give up their space.
The invasion of Europe has started, and how great the toll
of wounded will be nobody knows. We have our wounded
from the Pacific coming in too. And more and more cars must
be taken for them from the restricted amount of equipment
left after the regular military requirements are met.
We cannot guarantee that if you start a trip you will be
able to get space returning. You must face that fact. If you’re
away from home on a pleasure trip and emergency space
cancellations must be made, you may have great difficulty
getting back.
For some time we have been urging people not to travel
except on essential business. We haven’t enjoyed doing this.
For many years we have been trying to promote travel, and
it “goes against the grain” to suggest that people stay off the
tmins. The very fact that we have issued theee appeals should
*
indicate the seriousness o f the travel situation. And the ner-
ODT order emphasizes this still more.
Why don’t we provide more cars, more trains? Virtually no
new cars can be built during war time. Materials are scarce,
and car builders have been making guns and tanka and other
war equipment. With the biggest army and navy in our hia-
tory, about 63% of all Pullman sleeping care have to be used
exclusively for military service. Travel by men in uniform on
furlough, or traveling on orders, plus the greatly increased
volume of business travel due to the war production effort,
taxes the capacity of the remaining equipment used in regu
lar passenger train service. There are no more passenger can
available. We must get along with what we have.
We have now reached the point where there just isn’t room
on our trains for people who don’t have to travel.
People planning a vacation or other non-essential trip mey
think “There’s always room for one more.”
Well, there isn’t.
If you are planning a train trip not essential to the war
effort, we strongly advise you to change your plans, now.
