Description: Democrats-For-Willkie was a splinter group of the Democratic Party which was organized to back Wendell L. Willkie in his campaign for the presidency in 1940. The group was opposed to the re-election of Franklin D. Roosevelt for a third term, believing that a third term went against American tradition, and feeling that a third and fourth term could eventually lead to dictatorship. In July of 1940 Lewis W. Douglas, John W. Hanes, Mrs. Roberta Campbell Lawson and Alan Valentine organized the National Committee of Democrats-For-Willkie. Alan Valentine was chosen the Executive Director with headquarters in New York City. The Democrats-For-Willkie functioned at the state level through the appointment of State Advisory Chairmen as well as through direct communication with local Democratic organizations which sympathized with Willkie. The National Committee was dissolved after Willkie's defeat on November 5, 1940. The Subject File contains files on Bulletins, miscellaneous propaganda; "No Third Term" Mats; Releases; Associated Willkie Clubs of America; Releases; Republican State Committee; Republican National Committee; Republican State Central Committees; Wendell L. Willkie; No Third Term Day; and No Third Term Day Committee.
