THIRD TERM DISCUSSED
BY DELEGATE DIMOND
Opposition to President Roose
velt’s candidacy on the ground
that he is breaking precedent in
seeking a third term does not
find favor with Anthony J. Di
mond, Democratic delegate in
congress. In the letters to pro
minent Democrats in Fairbanks,
the Delegate states his views on
the third term.
“The third term issue has al
ready been considerably dis
cussed, and is now being debat
ed,” the Delegate writes. “Per
sonally, I never could see the
slightest objection to the renom
ination and reelection of Mr.
Roosevelt because he has already
served nearly two terms. After
all, the voters select the Presi
dent and if they deem a Presi
dent to be deserving of a third
term, I cannot think of a sound
reason why the country should
be deprived of his services. Much
has been made of the adverse
declaration of Persident Jeffrson,
but it does not seem impressive.
As long as popular suffrage
stands—and it will stand as long
as the Government endures—we
have nothing to fear from the
continuance in office of a Presi
dent who must be elected by the
people, even though he may be
nominated and elected for a third
term.
“While tradition is worthy of
consideration, we must remem
ber that the history of the world
is fat with traditions which were
later found to be unwise or im
moral or simply frivolous. In this
particular matter I prefer to fol
low the advice and views of the
Father of Our Country, rather
than those of President Jefferson.
In a letter to General Lafayette,
dated April 27, 1788, General
Washington wrote as follows:
“ 'Guarded so effectually as
the proposed constitution is, in
respect to the prevention of brib
ery and undue influence in the
choice of president: I confess, I
differ widely myself from Mr.
Jefferson and you, as to the nec
essity or expediency of rotation
in that appointment. . . .
“ ‘Under an extended view of
this part of the subject I can see
no propriety in precluding our
selves from the services of any
man, who on some great emer
gency, shall be deemed, univer
sally most capable of serving the
public.’ ”
“No Democrat and, indeed, no
citizen need be deterred from
voting for President Roosevelt be
cause of thhe third term abjec
tion. Both the better reason and
the great authority of General
Washington are on our side.”
