that labor as a whole is opposed to

was recalled that John L. Lewis,

The renewed evidences of Gar

last night as an effort to forestall
the idea which New Dealers have at
tempted to spread in recent weeks
that the Democratic presidential
nomination has been foreclosed be-
cause of the war in Europe, and Mr..
Roosevelt will be renominated. The

keep America out of war. as well as

supporters in Texas are loyal to
President Roosevelt and this admin

been such a vital factor"
Oklahoma Strength Grows.
From Oklahoma, Claude Thomp-
son. leader of the Garner forces in
that State, reported that the Garner
movement is taking strong hold
there
There are only two people in the
picture as far as Oklahoma is con-
cerned,' Mr. Thompson said, land
I don't think that President Roose-
welt wants third term. That leaves
only John N. Garner. His activity
in Washington in recent weeks has
emphasized his value in time Of

The Garnerites say they have no
particular interest in where the
Democratic National Convention is
held next year. They are merely
interested in the delegates who are
to attend. Chicago, New York, At
lantic City, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco-any of them would be &C.
ceptable to them.
They do expect, however. to take
considerable interest in the selec-
ton Of q keynoter and temporary
chairman of the national conven-
ton and also in the choice of a per-
manent chairman. At the same
time, Garner supporters do not ex-
pect q controversy over these selec-
tons. They understand that the
speeches and the platform adopted
at the convention will extoll both
President Roosevelt and Vice Presi-
dent Garner. And they expect the
platform to praise the accomplish
ments of the administration
Representative Rayburn of Texas,
majority leader of the House, who
was Mr.. Gamers campaign man
ager in 1882 when he was Speaker
of the House and a candidate for
the presidential nomination, will
play an important part in the ma
tional convention, it is expected. It
was to Mr.. Rayburn that Mr.. Gar
ner telephoned at a time when it
looked as though the Chicago con-
vention of 1882 might become disas-
trously deadlocked:
This man Roosevelt Is the choice
OF the convention. He has had a
majority on three ballots cat that
time it required two-thirds vote
to nominate). We don't want to be
responsible for tying up this con-
vention and bringing on another
Madison Square Garden that might
defeat the candidate in November
Release the Texas delegation from
voting for me for the presidential
nomination"
Expects to Take the Lead.
It was that word from Mr.. Garner
which assured Mr.. Roosevelt the
nomination. But the Garner man
ayers insisted yesterday that Mr..
Garner would not step aside this
time. They expect him to have q
lead In the convention when 1t
meets, and that other candidates
will emulate his action in 1882 and
step aside in the interests of party
harmony.

FERRY REPORT

sEArTLE-Developments in the
strike which has tied up Puget
Sound ferry service for Fl days
Tuesday awaited action by Gov.
Clarence D. Martin. who was
scheduled TO receive a report on
availability of ferries for possible
operation by the state.
State Highways Director Lacy
V. Murrow. to whom the governor
addressed his request for informa-
ton on ferry equipment, was
scheduled to report TO the exccu-
tive.
As 500 employees remained on
strike, King and Kitsap county
commissioners pleaded for a per-
manent solution by the governor
and asked their prosecuting attor-
neys to answer these questions:
Has the cessation of opera
lions by the Puget Sound
Navigation Co., justified c%ancella-
ton OF its lease from King county
for operation of the Fauntelroy-
vashon island Harper ferry?
May the ferry be operated
{ jointly by King and Kitsap
counties?
o-Have the two counties similar
privileges In taking over the
Seattle Bremerton and Seattle
cambridge runs?
The commissioners. meeting in
joint session in Seattle. stressed,
however. that the counties were
not in a suitable position to per-
mancntiy operate the ferries.
