Jack Gamers back in town.

Jack Gamers back in town.
Seemingly confident Of his elec-
ton as the Democratic Speaker
of the next House, successor to
his late close friend but political
adversary, Nicholas Longworth,
Representative John Nance Gar
ner, of Uvalde, Tex, today was
"sorter holding court" in his
Capitol offices. He's having
scores of callers, already.
He had a lot to say for non
publication and a bit for the
public prints. Mr.. Garner, virile,
outspoken, florid-faced, with the
tango Of the Texas ranges on his
cheeks, putting a big cigar like
"Uncle Joe" Cannon used to do,
dissipated one idea, to wit:
If the Democrats organize the
House, they'll keep it organized
during the next Congress session;
if the Republicans organize it,
let them take the responsibility.
There should be no vacillation in
control if death or absenteeism
may make possible q change in
control at any time.
Representative Garner, now the
minority floor leader and the
prospective Speaker, said:
"Whatever eSpOnSi ib lity
comes to the Democratic party
in the House should be &C.
cepted. If the Democratic
party is not big enough TO take
such responsibility, it should
not exist. If we have the votes
to organize the House we will
do So"
