WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. With the
ghosts of Herbert Hoover and all thr
attendant multitude of Republican
office holders who lost their political
Uvea In the last depression now gtb
berlng And shrieking through the
streets of Washington, It Is unusually
Interesting to get some sort of line
on what Mr. Hoover's successor feels
about third term. The fact they may
or may not have to face the electo
rate again usually has an Important
effect on politicians' actions and
President Roosevelt Is as much a
politicians as any other. Itmay be
assumed, therefore, that. In charting
hta course through the new depres
sion which seems to be upon us. he
will be much Influenced by his in
tentions for 1040.
The first and most concrete bit
of evidence tending to show that the
President has no wish to run again
(and will, therefore, be more ready
t to go hla own way, in the bad times)
" comes from a recent exchange of let
ters between him and his own con
fidential European ambassador-at-large,
Norman Davis.
Some time ago, Mr. Davis, who is
very close to the White House, was
asked whether he thought that the
President wanted to continue his res
idence at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue
for another four years. He replied
that he did not think so, but he
was later quoted by his questioners
as having said quite positively that
the President was entirely without a
desire for a. third term. Discovering
bow his words had been distorted,
Mr. Davis grew rather nervous, and
wrote off an account of the whole
matter to the President. He took
the line that he hod only voiced his
own opinion, and that In a tentative
fashion, and he apologized for having
given rise to the misrepresentation
that followed.
The President answered Mr. Davis'
letter In pleasant and friendly terms,
telling him that he need not be in
the least upset. And he not only
pooh-poohed .Mr. Davis fear that he
bad been Indiscreet In saying any
thing at all; he wont much further,
f. He referred to the misqutotatlon of
Mr. Davis, to the effect that a third
term was definitely out of the ques
tion and, It Is understood on the best
authority, stated in rather -positive
fashion that, so far as he was con
cerned, the mlsquoters of Mr. Davis
bad hit the nail of his own attitude
squarely on the head. In fact, the
President Is said to have written
that he had made up his mind not
to run again.
The second bit ol evidence la of
more recent origin. Not so many
weeks ago, one of those eminent but
non-political foreign visitors with
whom the President especially likes
to expand, called at the White House.
The visitors was an ardent admirer
of the New Deal, a man of largo and
inquiring mind, and one whose great
interest was In coming events. Natur-
