 They nearly always stay home at night, although the movies tempt them occasionally. In Texas tho speaker likes to hunt. fish and camp out.
 Mrs Garner makes him a cap- able secretary. She has insisted on staying on the job. The speaker likes that and Mrs Garner, an amiable, straight-thinking woman. is beloved by the office stan. She Is at the office every morning soon after o'clock, preceding her hus- band by few minutes, and lunches in her own office over a coffee percolator.
 Along with her secretarial du- ties, which have increased enor. mously since Jack became speak, CT. she watches the health of Jack Garner and the other boys in the office.

 Washington-For the first time in many years, a man from the south has been taken seriously as a presidential possibility.
 Z Speaker John N. Garner, a force- fui and able, plain but shrewd son of the Texas prairies, Is battering at the political axiom which says that neither major party will nominate a southerner.
 He's a remarkable man and re- mains powerful personality de- spite whatever prestige he has lost since the House refused to accept his leadership on the tax and economy bills. He would make Q more colorful candidate and might prove more popular than any other candidate the democrats are likely to choose.
 As president he would carry a greater degree of warm personal appeal to. masses of people than any White House occupant since the time of Theodore Roosevelt.
 Thirty years in congress have wrought no outer change in this horny-handed, homespun, from tiertype fighter who came here from the COW town of Uvalde, . Texas, with brief background of law practice and legislative ex- perience but with the aroma of cattle heards still fresh in his clothes.
 He has developed into a master politician, keen and resourceful lender who at least falls no shorter of he idealistic conceptions of statesmanship than do most other men who attain large political power.
 But he has remained unspoiled. The Influences of Washington so- ciety have touched him no more than other so-called temptations that beset a member of congress. His rough-and-read speech, his plain and often wrinkled clothes, his simple habits of life have never altered.
 No one ever saw Jack Garner wearing high hat, in the slang sense. or putting on any dog. The acquired pomposity of the self alleged statesman is utterly laok- ing in him. He Is as democratic a public official as have ever met and mixes with his funda- mental conservatism human,

has gone to Chicago to work for a
bonus plank in the democratic ma
tionaI platform. Republicans re-
tected such n plank.
The committee began to formu-
late general platform for the
veterans. including repeal of the
18th mendment. 1t was considered
possible that commander-in-chie
Walter Waters might rule out the
prohibition issues, as likely to de-
tract from the fight for the prin-
cipal thing the veterans want--the
bonus which congress has refused
to grant.
Waters sought the aid of all vet
Grams organizations In the bonus
army's campaign to defeat con-
sressmen and senator's who voted
against the veterans payment. He
sent letters to every post of the
American Legion and the veterans
OF foreign wars. The letters men,
toned the refusal OF the platform
committee at the republic conven-
tion to consider bonus plank, and
added:
"Our suggestions were laughed
down and our proposals were filed
in the waste basket. Think 1t over,
veterans. Remember November"
Bonus army leaders continued to
claim force OF 10000 encam ped
in the city. They said defections
since the senate defeated the bonus
bill last Friday had been more
than outnumbered by new arrivals.
The police estimate jumped to 49,
$50, an upward revision of 5000.
