FDR’s Theme,
“No Retreat”
W'ashington, May 27.—A new surge
of speculation over President Roose
velt’s 1940 campaign role enlivened
backstage political disciawions in
Washington this week.
The renewed third-term talk started
through interpretations widely placed
on the presid^’s “no-retneat” ^seech
to the retailers’ forum eariy in the
wedc. Some mfluential Democrats
shared the view that it indicated a
readiness on the president’s part to be
drafted in 1940 in order to carry on
this program.
Th third-term talk was further and
importantly stimulated by Poetmmster
General Farley’s return from a sur
vey of Democratic party prospects for
1940. The trip took him from coast to
coast and, particularly, through most
of the interior states where Demo
cratic 1938 elections reverses were
heaviest.
Publicly, he had cheery predictions
to offer of Democratic 1940 successes
in toe 13 states he toured—and noth
ing to say about 1940 candidates. Pri
vately, the Detnocratic national chair
man unquestionably pictured the con
sensus of state leaders he contacted
as being that Mr. Roosevelt could
have a third nomination if he wanted
it; and that kuking Mr. Roosevelt’s
active support, the 1940 honor would
he of little value to any other Demo
crat.
Political obaeo*vers noted with spe
cial interest that Governor lioyd C.
Stark of Missouri was among the
sCate party chieftains who talked with
Farley. There haa been a notable in
crease in attention being given Stack
as a possible important contender for
a plare on the 1940 Dwnoetwtic ticket
since his claah with Tom Pendirgaat,
Kansas City Democratic hoaa, had aa
its denouivnent a jail sentence for the
latter on a plea of guilty of viola
tion of federal income tax laws.
.*stark men from .MuuMuiri say Preai-
derrt Knosevelt has indicated a favor-
abie attitude ttnrard the .Missouri gov
ernor for a place on the natHmal tick-
•«t next year. They are busy aeiling
S*ark :n |>arty council* as a man for
whom pro and anti New Ileal lltwio-
crata could compromise.
There is a disposition in some quar
ters to rate Governor Stark as a vice
presidential poaeibility if Mr. Roose
velt should seek and obtain a third
nomination. An uncertain factor is the
often discussed but never admitted
hope of Senator Benneot Claik of
Missouri for consideration in next
year’s paity presidential ticket mak
ing. 'Rie two Misaourians are frienda
of long standing, however, and friends
of both are quoted as seeing no pros
pect of a breach between them over
which is to be the state’s favored son
in 1940.
Belief that Farley brought hack for
the president and for other Demo
cratic leaders in Washington a reflec
tion of opinion aanong state leaders
toai Mr. Roosevelt would have little
difficulty obtaining a third nomina
tion was heightened by what Farley
said publicly several times to party
audiences on his trip. He insist^ in
Arizona and elsewhere that there was
small profit in discussing sny other
1940 candidacy until the president
makes known his intentions.
Whatever those intentions are, the
new upsurge of third-term talk armed
Preeidient Roosevelt with added lead
ership leverage in congress as the ses
sion draws toward a close. Observers
taw some reflection of that in indi
cations of a party harmony program
on the tax revision issue. They also
sensed among some party waverers in
congress, an increasing desire to avoid
getting out far enough on any anti-
adminkration limb not to be ^Ic to
climb back into a Ro<mv«H band wag
