He is stronger now, w0 believe, than he was twelve months ago, and if his par tv nominates him "As its standard hearer rn 11 fe next Democratic National Conention he will be e. lected.' " William Gibbs MeAdoo, secre-l ta'y i' | treasurer under Wood row Wilson said he would support the President for n third term and he, w: s euito. a figure in the Chicago _ , . x- ' To?'en<i??n fc-ar years ago.- * j" ? A+ai?further more, he says: [ "I dis ussi tl this, question (of J ? iho-m xt presidqnt > with~a num berr of outstanding Democrats tin! Wa-himrtonl.

How could any man decline! ' such a demand from his party and his country in these criticrl times? The third term tradition is mere dogma anyway. We don't have to observe it unless we want to. "Whenever th0 condition of thJT countiy calls for the services of a certain men, he must submit as a patriot, no matter what personal sacrifice is involved.

Scretary of Agriculture Wallace. 4?hiy-speech he coupled with- a denunciation of toalitai irr? gov. ernment with a plea for a better understanding among the races. According to trAP dispatch Secretary Wallace was heard by an audience of 5,000 Southeastern ed ucators r.nd farmrs. Most of these in the audience were Negror leaders in their respective communities. "Followers. of alien 'isms" in his country", he asid, "haye had a rude shock. ' They have found the.t all totalitarian government leads to one and the same thing?the suppression of fro? speech, private property and individual liberty'. "The Ameiican people," he coninued, "want no dictators or dictatorships. They have democracy in their blood. They want a chance to 'cuss' the government frpm top to bottom". Wallace said "permanent domoctitty requires soil building, and security, of farm tenure", adding, "we cannot preserve democracy simply by disliking^dietatorship" He predicted war's effects "will make It hitrdwTO preserve demoi cracy". Wallace said "permanent dem'in the field of genetics" and "with social problems", had led him to t. 1. ?? iU?t "..I . * ?ll if i . he hmh iumuii maw "imv/ov un, u I not all, the propaganda about ~sdT perior racial stocks lis no basis in scientific fact""So long as one can assume that the poverty of. certain groups --either white or colored?is due to inferiority," he continued. "It is easy enough to find excuses for doing nothing about the situation . . . Onc of your tasks is the crea . tion of a, better understanding be tween the races. "\\Lith Europe's turmoil in mind Americans everywhere could well atlord to" Help in creating better understanding and better rela. tionships^-?This ..moons' removal of Thi'v I'vi-iti-ni'i. .rf disennted and embittered minorities could easily be a threat to the whole nation." i Negro leaders have been prac-' ticing and prr.ying for an intelliJ gent understanding between the races long before Tuskegee was founded. The philosophy of Secretary Wallace is scrund. What we need is our leaders to inculcate a feeling of good -Will in the youth of America. Not yours, but it i is our duty tt>4o so.- And the pro noun means nil Americans who love the flag must work toward that end and if we shall have a real democracy. ANDERSON CO.
