GARNER OPPOSES
THIRD TERM, SAY
PARTY SENATORS
Some Insist, However, His
Name Will Be Presented
to Convention.
ROOSEVELT IS SEEN
DARK HORSE OF 1910
Barley Will Win Handily' Over
Chandler, Declares Logan
of Kentucky.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


Democratic Senators in Washington
today expressed conviction that Vice
President Garner would not be can
didate for a third term.
Some Of them insisted, however,
that his name would be presented to
the Democratic National Convention
for the presidential nomination in
ls4c.
The Vice President, 1t was said, has
firm convictions about the third term
tradition" He is not willing, 1t was
asserted, to be candidate for a third
term as Vice President on a ticket
with President Roosevelt. And by the
same token, he would not be can
didate for Vice President on a ticket
with another presidential nominee.
Many of the Democratic Senators
do not believe that President Roose-
welt will seek third term. There are
exceptions, however. The President
himself has several times indicated
that he expected to retire from the
White House at the expiration Of his
second term in January, 1941. He has
never said hatly that he would decline
another presidential nomination.
AS a matter of fact, the President
himself is the principal dark horse"
in the 1910 presidential race.
Sees Support for Garner.
Senator Burke. Democrat, Of Ne
braska was one Of those who declared
that Vice President Garner would have
great support for the presidential
nomination in 1910 provided he would
permit his name to go before the con-
vention.
Il am convinced there would be ire
mendous support for Mr.. Garner for
President" said the Nebraska Senator
today.
Senator Logan, Democrat, Of Ken
lucky was another of those who said
if Mr.. Garner became a candidate
for the presidential nomination, "he
would be mighty hard to beat"
The Kentucky Senator, an admins
tration supporter, expressed his oppo-
sition to a third term for any presi-
Dental ticket. He said he favored, as
a matter of fact, a single term of six
years for the Chief Executive, with no
reelection.
Senator Logan said he did not be-
lieve the President would be a candi-
date for third term He had not
talked with the President. he added,
but said that was his Judgment.
Nor, he said, had he talked with Vice
President Garner about third term.
Victory for Barley Seen.
His colleague, Senator Barley, will
defeat Gov. Happy Chandler in the
senatorial primary in Kentucky Au-
gust s, Senator Logan predicted. Mr..
Barley, he said, would win handily"
Senator Logan expects to make one or
two speeches to give his own position
before the primary is held.
President Roosevelt, on his coming
trip West, will speak for Senator
Barley in Kentucky.
Vice President Garner is given credit
for having halted the row in the Sem
ate over the Presidents court bill last
year and prepared the way for the re-
commital of that measure. He is un-
derstood to be strongly opposed to any
'reprisals" by the President and his
New Deal followers against Democratic
Senators who voted against the court
bill.
The Vice President is in Texas va
cationing. He has refrained from dis
cussing politics and public issues since
he became Vice President, holding that
he would not embarrass the President,
