Term IV

Sober-minded Democrats in Washington admit that the President is running like a jack rabbit for a fourth term, and that there is no way to stop him. Last week one of the highest-ranking New Dealers told TIME that there is no longer any doubt: the President will have things neatly and exactly arranged for a fourth term nomination, will be nominated and reelected. This New Dealer foresaw a whale of a fight, but certain victory.

Behind this view lay this theory: the President, and events, have now worked the Democratic Party around to a position where it must nominate him. If the opposition stands firm against him, the next convention will make a Donnybrook Fair look like a love feast, and the Party will be left sprawling and broken. In this situation the President can easily rig the show for himself.
