Garner Into
 Key Post In
 New Deal

Washington, Aug. 13-In the year of 1882, when the Roosevelt Garner Democratic ticket was running rather well against the Hoover Cur tis Republican ticket, there came forth a solemn cry from the repub- licans and the forces of Wall Street
 Heaven help us!" these con-
 servatives cried. "Only one frail
 life will stand between the nation
 and that wild man Garner, who
 was Hearst's candidate for the
 presidency and yearns to wreak
 his dire will on the bankers and
 other big people of New York;"
 MT. Roosevelt, at that time, was generally attacked as 8 weak, pu- sillanimous, wishy-waShy fellow who didn't know his own mind.
 Politics, 1t appears, do change. Since early in 1882, political bed- fellows have been leaping in and out of each others beds faster and oftener than the characters of any French farce ever devised.
 But nowhere does there appear stranger metamorphosis than that of the wild Texan, MT. Garner, into a bulwark of conservatism for whom many taxpayers kneel nightly to give thanks for coming to protect them against "that wild man in the White House." Garner isn't Pres ident, but he and his followers have a powerful brake on Roosevelt. First Term Calm
 The first four years went rather well with the Roosevelt Garner team.
 Garner, a small-town banker and southern legislator, was delighted when my boss" went after the securities market, the utility hold ing companies and other powerful northern combines. He gave much valiant help, although he frequent ly yelled and pounded the cabinet table. Roosevelt often telephoned him at Uvalde, Tex. to get his slant on a tough problem.
 In his acceptance speech at the Philadelphia convention last sum- mer, Garner was able to say:
 Tn his acceptance speech at the Philadelphia convention last sum- mer, Garner was able to say:
 "I am soldier and my duty Is to follow where the commander leads. I shall stand with him in the months ahead as have stood since 1882. Franklin D. Roosevelt is my leader, my com- mander- in -chief. In this pres- ence, before this multitude and with the stars of heaven to bear witness to my covenant, I renew the pledge of fealty I gave four years ago. I pledge anew my allegiance to Franklin ID. RoOse- welt"
 Garner View Changes
 But things happened in 1887. There was the court plan. Garner was acquiescent on that one because he felt @ liberalized court would slam down on the financial oligarchies ot New York. But the sitdown strikes and the rise of the C.I.O. appalled, him. He instigated and supported the efforts of senators to smoke out Roosevelt on the labor issue and to cut down the 100000 relief appropriation, which he also felt was dangerous.
 The wage and hour bill, at least in its oroginal form. was anathema to the white-haired, fiery vice-presi- dent. In all thes things he saw a violent upset to the economic sys- tenn of the south. although he had long resented the considerable de- pendence of the south on northern capital.
 Roosevelt wouldn't listen to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-13

Jacks advice on these matters and
 Garned went away to Uvalde. The court fight became close and cru- cial with Senator Joe Robinson's death and Roosevelt called Gar ner back to help him save the pieces.
 Garner insisted little was possible unless those three measures were abandoned. Roosevelt insisted on them and Garner said he would dc the best he could on the court is- sue. What Garner did is vigorously described as Saving the party saving the nation," and"knifing the president"
 Man in the Saddle
 But it's evedent now that Jack wasn't going to stand for all that program and next thing you know the vice-president, as the presidents emissary, was going to Senator Bur- ton K. Wheeler of Montana, another former wild man." and saying:
 Burt, write your own ticket!"
 A few days later Garner gaveled the "ticket" Wheeler and his op- position colleagues had written refusing to permit speeches and even neglecting an amendment from the anti-administration ju. dietary committee.
 And at this writing it's not en- tirely clear whether Garner or Roosevelt comes nearest to being the man on horseback" But the conservatives of 1892, if they re- membered their words, have eaten them with relish.

Campaign Manager

Going up! Swinging into line
with high hopes and ambitions, the
workers in The Post-PresS big Bon-
us Check Campaign have swelled
their Point totals to high mark
and from now ON to the finish it
will be an exciting race between
the leaders.
The first period of the campaign
closed last night, and now the sec
ond period is under way. December
will see the second decrease in
points, then there will be only two
more short weeks, and the end,
which is Dec Is. At the close of
the first period, hundreds of thou
sands of points were issued and
every live worker in the campaign
profited greatly.
1t is a strange coincidence, too,
and something unusual in affairs
of this kind, but each of the lead
ing workers who are striking for
the top Bonus Checks benefited
almost equally at the close of the
first period so that it would be a
difficult job to figure at this stage
OF the campaign which of the work.
ers will receive the largest bonus
checks.
The competition, therefore, as
far as the relative standing of the
workers is concerned, depends al
most entirely upon the results OBJ
tanned by the various workers be-
tween now and the finish as to who
the ultimate winners will be. Hence,
the struggle for supremacy will be
fought for the next 10 days left in
the second period, and the two
weeks to follow until the end, Dec
fl8.
The following points are issued
for extension SllbScriDtiOnS Study
