Elliott Roosevelt
Declares Remarks
Misinterpreted
Denies He Books Garner
In 1910; Insists He Is
Loyal to New Deal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April i5.-
Elliott Roosevelt said in his radio
broadcast last night his recent COM
ments about Vice President Garner
and the administration of his father
had been interpreted incorrectly"
He declared he most certainly
had not advocated" Mr.. Garner, q
Texan, for the presidency in the
1910 election, and added he would
not advocate any one until the
Democratic Convention of 1910 has
selected candidate.
He said that in reporting the
Texas desire for political recogni-
tion," he mentioned perhaps a dozen
leaders of the Washington scene
from Texas, including Mr.. Garner.
"Nor did I, when I reported a re-
Election of public opinion on March
20, intend to imply any advocacy of
him, although my observations were
interpreted as SUCH" he continued.
In those interpretations my loyalty
to the administration was ques-
toned.
May I repeat, here and now, that
those who question my loyalty to
the administration do so without
foundation in fact. If I question an
administration program or policy, I
do so in the spirit that what in
formation 1 have cleaned in the
South may be helpful to the admin
istration-and not in spirit Of
hatred, distrust or Of questioning the
sincerity of any one"
He said that some few persons be-
lieve that his commentaries have
launched him into campaign of
mud-slinging against the admins
tration on certain points, but "again
let me say that my comments on
these various points have not been
intended as my own personal criti-
cism, but an effort to reflect the
opinions of those persons with
whom come in contact. And at
no time have I reflected the opin-
ions without the offer of sugges-
tions which I felt to be constructive
| suggestions that have reflected
not my opinion alone, but con-
sensus.'
