Progress of the Fourth Term

The Fourth Term movement got two pats and one smack last week. Endorse ments came from:

> The Louisiana State Federation of Labor.

> Brash New Orleans Shipbuilder Andrew Jackson Higgins.

Republicans got in the smack, and it was a beauty, reminding bystanders of nothing less than the 1932-1936 Democratic efforts of wily Charley Michelson, the Old Master, who had a knack of making the Republicans look like stumblebums. Replying to Democratic National Chairman Frank Walker's suggestion that the 1944 campaign be held late, G.O.P. Chairman Harrison Spangler wrote: "We are willing to accept your plan for a short campaign ... if you can and will give assurance that Mr. Roosevelt does not have the ambition for and will not accept nomination for a fourth term. ... If you find you cannot give such assurance, we must assume that you have already nominated Mr. Roosevelt. . . ."
