Democratic Chairman James A. Farley dismisses reports that President Roosevelt will seek a third nomination in 1940. He notes the frequent mention proves the chatter is current, with Southern delegates at the Philadelphia convention discussing the idea openly.
Delegates from the South resented the president's push to abandon the two-thirds rule. A voice vote, after a rules committee recommendation, eliminated the rule by 86 to 18. The South could block any candidate objected to, as it did with Champ Clark, aiding Woodrow Wilson but provoking Clarkites.

He notes southern delegates are underrepresented yet states vote Democratic, while other states may tilt Republican electorally. He doubts a deep plot for a four term run exists but acknowledges talk of Roosevelt in 1940.
