FARLEY. PREDICTS
GARNER WILL STAY
ON PARTY TICKET
Insists on denomination of
Vice President for
1886 Race.
BONUS DISCOUNTED
AS CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Democratic Chairman Declares
Veto Will Have No Adverse
Result at Polls.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Vice President Carriers name, along
with that of President Roosevelt, today
was nailed to the Democratic mast for
the 1886 national election by Post
master General James A. Farley,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee.
Mr.. Farley insisted that Mr.. Garner
would be renominated by the Demo-
Gratis. He predicted. further, that the
Roosevelt Garner ticket would carry
more States that it did in 1882, when
it left to the Republicans only six of
the 48 States.
President RooSevelt's veto of the
Patman soldiers bonus bill, veto
sustained by the Senate yesterday, will
make no difference nor affect adversely
the reelection of the President, MIR.
Farley said.
Il do not believe that the Presi-
dents veto of the soldiers bonus bill
will have any effect on the result OF
the election in 1886" the Democratic
national chairman declared in reply
to a question. He added, "a lot Of
water will have run over the dam by
that time. The electors will be salts
fed with the Presidents administra-
ton"
Makes Unqualified Forecast.
Mr.. Farley's prediction that Vice
President Garner would be the rum
ming mate of President Roosevelt on
the Democratic ticket next was made
without qualification After the fight
over the Patman bonus bill got under
way in the Senate, it was rumored
that the Vice President had urged on
some of the Senators that 1t would be
good politics for the Congress to over
ride the Presidents veto. Mr.. Farley
said he knew nothing Of any such ad-
vice by the Vice President.
With the President so insistent
upon the defeat of the Patman bill,
both because he believed it would
lead to dangerous imitation of the cur
rency and because he believed that
the interests of the whole people
should take precedence over the in
terests of any one group, the report
that the Vice President had sought to
bring about the final enactment Of
the bill started the rumor that Mr..
Gamers denomination might not be
so sure.
Coughlin Watched.
The Democratic national chairman
did not seem at all alarmed over the
attacks made on the President by
Father Charles E. Coughlin because
Of the bonus veto. While Farley
would make no comment on the flu
ture political attitude of the Detroit
priest. it is the belief in admlnistra-
ton circles that when the campaign
gets really under way next year, Father
Coughlin will not be found opposing
President Roosevelt's reelection.
1t is quite clear that the Democratic
leaders are intent upon having the
party's national ticket stand as the
progressive ticket. Nor do they be-
lieve that a radical ticket in the field
in opposition. if there be third
party, will draw great strength away
from President Roosevelt.
Farley expressed the opinion that
the Democrats would carry Pennsyl-
vania in the national election next
year, one of the States which went for
former President Hoover In 1882. AS
for New York, the national chairman
predicted that 1t would go Democratic
for President and for Governor. He
looks for strong and united party In
the Empire State, Notwithstanding
talk of Tammany disaffection and in-
ternal troubles in the Hall. The Post
master General Is not only national
chairman, but also continues as chair
man Of the Democratic State Com
mittee of New York
Asked About Resignation.
The Postmaster General was asked
If and when he planned to resign
from one or more of the various
offices he holds.
II don't know" he replied, with
smile. Nor would he comment on
reports that Gov. Lehman of New
York does not wish to run to sue
coed himself. There has been talk
of Mr.. Farley's casting his own hat
in the ring for Governor. But If
there is anything to the report, GER
tainly Mr.. Farley did not today lend
any semblance of truth to it..
Despite all efforts to shake Mr..
Farley loose from the Office of Post
master General or that of chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, he is still occupying both posi-
tons. For a couple of years there
have been recurrent rumors he was to
resign from one or the other. It is
believed he does not want to leave his
cabinet Office. A great many Demo-
Gratis in the national organization and
out do not want him to leave the
national Craftsmanship. And appar-
entity that has been the attitude, too,
OF President Roosevelt, who has the
final say in the matter.
Ohio Victory Seen.
