cnaOS IN party leadership.
There has been no leadership Of
the republican party since President
Hoover entered the White House.,
Garner asserted in a statement.
There is not a leading public
question on which the president is
willing TO make a suggestion or much
less offer a solution. All Of his
statements are ambiguous. They
can be taken In two ways
Courage Challenged
You hear people talking Of the
president as either lacking in ca
pacity or courage" Garner said.
Either he lacks one or the other,
or both, or he would not let such
chaos develop in party leadership.
The country has lost confidence
in the president, and that is what
is causing the chaotic economic
conditions.
The republican members Of both
the house and the senate have lost
confidence IN the president. Even
old timers, standpatters. and cOr-
servatives. don't know what TO do,
and they want to try to be regu-
lar"
The Texan said that President
Hoover had not prepared himself
on the tariff, and does not make
his position unequivocable on any
matter Of great importance.
