...that which preceded Term III to be overlooked. But if Franklin Roosevelt runs again, his opposition will be stronger than in 1940. One who has been laboring for months to block any attempt at Term IV is the man who twice put F.D.R. in the White House-James Aloysius Farley.

No other Democrat understood so well the hard, patient job of building political fences, brick by brick, name by name, promise by promise. In 1932 and again in 1936, Franklin Roosevelt had learned what it meant to have a faithful Big Jim as advance agent. Now a determined Big Jim was advance agent for the other side...
