"3. If we are threatened with or actually at war in 1944, the
arguments now advanced for a third term will be even more
strongly urged for a fourth term, and so on indefinitely. Espe-
cially now when democratic institutions throughout the world
are being destroyed, the greatest democracy must jealously
guard its unbroken tradition that no man is so indispensable
that he should be re-elected President for a third consecutive
term."

BENJAMIN F. LEVY, Elmira, N. Y., President of Federation

"I am supporting Wendell Willkie for President for two
reasons: First, I am definitely opposed to the 'Third Term.'
"Second, I am for Willkie by reason of his actual experience
in the business world. I believe in his honesty and frankness,
and that he is equipped to meet every domestic and foreign
situation and make an effort to solve the same promptly."

American Jewish Congress and Former President of the

"Wendell L. Willkie's condemnation and repudiation of
those who seek to foment racial hatred and class antagonisms
and his outspoken denunciation of Hitler and all that he stands
for mark him as an avowed enemy of totalitarianism.
"To break the precedent of no third term for any president
constitutes the greatest possible menace to our democracy. This
issue outweighs all others. I shall, accordingly, vote for Willkie
for president."

"I am for Willkie for President because we need a man of
sound practical ideas to end our depression.
"Mr. Willkie's business experience is an assurance that we
will have a sound business administration and that no special
privileges will be granted to any group, whether it be labor
or capital. These special privileges arc morally, legally and
financially wrong. Labor and capital must cooperate and act
together for their common good and the strengthening of our
democracy and not be pitted against eaach other.
Let us put a business man in Washington who will put
the country back to work."

"I am supporting Mr. Willkie because I consider him the can-
didate best qualified, in character and ability, to administer the
office of President in such manner as to promote the general
welfare, and for the further, and to my mind, more important,
reason that I am convinced that a third term for Mr. Roosevelt
would place the survival of our democratic processes in peril, in
that it would aggravate and tend to perpetuate the concentration
of ever-growing power in the executive branch, and the use of
that power for influencing elections and for other partisan
political ends; would promote the further increase of bureaucra-
tic control, without proper restraint of law, over the lives and
activities of citizens.

"I shall vote for Wendell L. Willkie in the coming election
for the reason that I regard him honest, forthright, and fearless.
It was my pleasure to see and hear him at Elwood when he was
'rank enough to say that under his leadership the peoples' lot
would be one of 'toil and sweat'. Later he rejected the support
of any clique that plotted against minority groups on religious
grounds, indicating that he would rather go down to defeat
than ride to victory on the vehicle of intolerance."
"I intend to vote for Wendell L. Willkie because I believe
that the country's greatest need today is the energy, vitality
and enthusiasm which he possesses. I regard the National De -
fense as the outstanding need of this country today. and he
,
has the requisite qualities to meet that need.
"I am also impressed with his uncompromising opposition to
intolerance and bigotry. That he manifested these qualities early
in life, when he could have had no thought of being a candidate
for the Presidency, is to me an indication that his tolerance
is not of recent date; that it is deep seated, and that no turn
of events could destroy it."

"Among the many reasons that actuate me, two are out-
standing. Unless Roosevelt and his crew are eliminated, the
safeguards to self-government established in the Constitution
will be seriously impaired, and perhaps shattered. Secondly.
the inclination to venture capital in industrial enterprises has
been eradicated because of Roosevelt's hostile attitude toward
business. Thus representative government and private property,
individual liberty and economic well being are confronted
by the direct menaces in all our hsitory."
•
PAUL FELIX WARBURG, New York.
"Having looked into and studied the qualifications, back-
ground and records of both candidates for the presidency of
the United States, I believe that Mr. Wendell L. Willkie has
all the requisites necessary for coordinating all forces in the
re-establishment of our country along sound democratic and
economic lines and the preservation of our American way of
life. He merits the confidence of the labor groups as well as
the industrial heads of our country. This confidence is gen-
erally lacking today and must be restored before we can em-
bark on an efficient defense program. The rattling of empty
saber scabbards makes us the laughing stock of the dictator
nations. A foreign policy is useless unless all factions are har-
moniously working together for one united cause and for
this we need a truly democratic leader. Mr. Willkie has proven
to me that under his leadership the American spirit of democracy
will continue with justice for all and malice towards none."

"I shall vote for Willkie because the paramount and vital
need of the day is the unification of all the people and the
mustering of all their resources under competent, unselfish and
trustworthy leadership. With that achieved, we shall be so
strong, in combination with heroic Britain, that foreign tyrants
will not dare molest us."

AARON FINGER, Wilmington, Delaware, Member of the law
firm of Richards, Layton, and Finger.
"I shall vote for Mr. Willkie because:
"Our most urgent need is adequate national defense, and I
believe we can get it more quickly with Mr. Willkie as Presi-
dent. With the facilities at the command of the Administration,
our defense needs should have been foreseen and made known
much sooner than they . were, but the Administration apparently
has been attempting to follow public sentiment rather than to
lead it.
in the second place, the failure of the Administration to
solve the unemployment problem after seven years has been due
fundamentally to policies that militated against free enterprise.
and I believe that Mr. Willkie will pursue, a much sounder
course in matters pertaining to our economic welfare. Last, but
by no means least, I am opposed to a third term for any
President."
