Depew defends third term talk in letter to Grosvenor
In a June 22 letter from New York to Ohio Congressman General Charles H. Grosvenor, Chauncey M. Depew rejects the notion of avoiding the third term issue and argues that the question remains live, with McKinley extending his policy and a possible two terms for his successor before a third term is feasible. Depew reviews constitutional precedent and past presidents, noting Grant, Cleveland, and Lincoln as context, and warns against treating a third term as an innovation or threat to liberty.
