GARNER READY.
To ACCEPT

John N. Garner, Speaker of the

Dental nomination if 1t is offered
to him and if the choice is pleas
ing to the rank and file Of dele
gates at Chicago, it was declared
today by close friends Of the

The selection Of Garner as run

Roosevelt Of New York was urged
today in scores Of kilograms sent
by Democratic Senators and House
members.
Speaker Garner went about his
duties at the Capitol as on any
other day, and refused to COM

He reached the Capitol before
7 a. m. and plunged into his volu-

was made.

early this morning.
Lands at Cleveland
He landed at Cleveland at 12:43
p. m. A flying candidate for the
presidency is something new in
national politics. It opens up new
vistas of possibilities in political
campaigning.
A high Roosevelt leader an
nounced this afternoon that Gar
ner would get the nomination for
Vice President.
The Roosevelt forces in com.
plete control of the convention,
will throw their support to and
nominate Garner for the vice
presidency on the first ballot,
this leader said.
He added, Garner informed the
Roosevelt high command" he
would accept the nomination.
The proffer of Roosevelt sup
port was rendered to Garner dur.
ing the morning by a representa-
tive of Governor Roosevelt. The
Speaker was reported to have said
he would be glad to accept the
second-place nomination.
Unique Opportunity
The probable attitude of Gar.
ner toward accepting the vice
presidential nomination had been
the source Of much speculation
here. Many Of Gamers friends,
recalling the contention Of the
late Nicholas Longworth that the
Speakership was a much more
important position than the vice
presidency, thought he would de-
cline it.
Others insisted the Texan would
accept because it would give him
an opportunity to become the
first man in the history of the
republic to serve as both Speaker
and Vice President.
Roosevelt chieftains felt Garner
should be rendered the nomina-
ton, since his voluntary with
drawa1 from the race in the in
tereSt Of party harmony, enabled
the New York governor to win
