eloquent to comment on Hardly
had his comment been carried out
over the news wires. however when
Murphy's press attaches issued a
formal statement declaring the at
torney general had misunderstood
the Lewis quotation and that he
considered Garner "a great Ameri.
cam
1t was remarked here that Lewis
attack emphasized the fact that
Garner has become the symbol of
conservative Democratic rebellion
against the other wing of the poll
teal machine which helped elect
President Roosevelt in 1882 and 1896
Lewis public remarks before the
house labor committee reflected in
some degree and Intellectual whis-
pering campaign which preceded the
1882 Democratic National conven-
ton at which Publisher William R.
Hearst sought to obtain the presi-
dental nomination for Garner.
The Texan never took public no.
tice of the whispered reports of his
personal habits. He refused to COM
ment yesterday. But national
magazine which might have been
suspected of supporting his candid
acy in 1882 appeared one day witt,
a life story which abruptly stated
that he did not drink. The incident
excited some comment here.
Today's judgement of the effect
of Lewis blast on Gamers anti
third term candidacy for the 1910
Democratic nomination varied from
the cautiously expressed belief that
it would make no difference to en-
phatic assurances that 1t would de-
liver the nomination and election
to Garner.
Sen. Morris Sheppard, D.. Texas,
who endorsed a petition supporting
Gamers presidential cadidacy took
another tack and an extremely I'M
portant one. Sheppard was the out
standing dry statesman of the pro-
hibition era. He was the father OF
the 18th amendment, and, annually,
on the anniversary of its effective date
he rises in the senate chamber ano
speaks in praise of prohibition and
its objectives.
If Garner drank whiskey, played
poker or was so evil, the voice of
one highly respected in circles
where such parctices are decried
would stoutly defend him against
those charges.

president has done regarding any
