and border states will furnish Mr.
Garner with 286, the chief block of
which is represented by the 46 votes
from Texas. The southwest and west-
ern states, without counting Califor-
nia, and taking but two of the farm
states, Nebraska and Wisconsin, will
yield Mr. Garner a total of 461 votes.
“Now I am not including in this
forecast of 461 the 210 additional
votes indicated from the states of
New York, Pennsylvania and Cali-
fornia,” declared Mr. Germany. The
Gallup poll in the last three weeks
has printed definite forecasts of pub-
lic opinion from these three states,
which together have 19 percent of
the total convention strength. These
polls show, assuming that the Presi-
dent will not be a candidate which
is the only way that Democrats be-
lieving in the continuance of its tra-
ditional party policies can think, that
Mr. Garner is the choice of over 50%
of the Democrats in New York and
California and of over 60% of the
Democrats of Pennsylvania.
Out of these three states, two will
give Mr. Garner a clear majority of
the convention, the Texas leader
pointed out.
“There is no question in my mind,”
declared Mr. Germany, “that the peo-
ple of the United States have very
definite convictions on the coming
presidential campaign. The principles
involved weigh deeply on citizens
everywhere. They embrace Mr. Gar-
ner because he stands for a principle
that finds welcome reaction in every
human being who worries and some-
times wonders on the future of his
country.
“Mr. Garner’s nomination by the
Democrats of this country is inevita-
ble. It is ordained in the hearts of the
American people, and I view his
nomination and subsequent election
as certain, with the present trend of
events.”
Rev. John M. Cody of Beau-
mont will celebrate mass at 8
o’clock Sunday morning at the
home of Mrs. Mary Slavik.
The public is invited.

“The season for the unusual pre-
valence of tularemia is again at
hand,” warns Dr. George W. Cox,
state health officer.
“Reports show that this disease,
commonly known as “rabbit fe-
ver,” is increasing at this time, due
in large part to direct exposure
to wild rabbits in the hunting or
dressing of the animals.
“Invariably, tularemia cases are
reported more frequently during
the hunting season than at any
other time. While the disease is
caused by a germ found in various
kinds of infected rodents, and can
be acquired, among other ways,
through bites of ticks, deer flies,
stable flies and squirrels, it is most
frequently transmitted to man in
this section of the United States by
infected wild rabbits, hence the
name “rabbit fever.”
“The common method of trans-
mission is through wounds or small
abrasions, sometimes minute, on
the hands of those cleaning or

DALLAS, Texas. — John Nance
Garner, vice-president of the United
States, will go into the next Demo-
cratic national convention with over
461 votes pledged to him, according
to E. B. Germany, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive commit-
tee and co-chairman of the Texas
Garner-for-President committee.
“We are convinced, from the del-
uge of pledges we have received at
the Dallas headquarters, that there
is a genuine popular demand for the
nomination of Mr. Garner on the
Democratic ticket. This comes, not
from one section or group of states,
but from the entire nation. From
Oregon and Vermont, and from
Georgia to the Southwest, we are
getting the most enthusiastic protes-
tations of friendship and admiration
for our stalwart Texas statesman.
“Mr. Garner’s way of thinking has
captured the public imagination of
the middle ground of America’s
straight-thinking citizenry. If the
politicians do not listen to the voice
of the people in 1940, I predict that
the Democratic party as an organiza-
tion won’t be worth shooting. I have
heard many comments that the poli-
ticians are going to pick the next
candidates for both the Democratic
and Republican parties. My advice
to them in both parties is to listen
to what the people are thinking. If
they don’t heed the deep longings of
the mass of America’s citizenry, they
will be politically dead after the next
election. I repeat: If the Democratic
politicians attempt to thwart the will
of the people in the next convention,
the party of Jefferson and Jackson
won’t be worth the,effort to put it
out of its misery.”
In outlining the strength that he
claims for the Texan, Mr. Germany
pointed out that out of 1,100 votes in
the Democratic convention, the south

otherwise handling rabbit carcas-
ses; in this manner the germs reach
the human blood stream, symptoms
developing in from one to ten days.
The victim suddenly complains of
headache, has body pains, chills,
fever, and vomits. The fever,
which may run high, usually lasts
two or three weeks. Convalescence
is slow. Death occurs in approx-
imately 5 per cent of the cases.
“The above facts indicate that
hunters should not kill slow-mov-
ing rabbits. Healthy wild raibbits
do not tarry. Also, for those who
dress rabbits, it is advisable to use
rubber gloves. The suggestion ap-
plies equally to hunters and house-
wives. It is the one safe defense
against acquiring tularemia from
this source.
“There is no desire to imply that
most wild rabbits harbor the tula-
remia germ. Compared to the to-
tal rabbit population, the infected
rabbit decidedly is in the minority.
On the other hand, the number of
infected animals is sufficiently
large in the aggregate not to take
any undue chances.
