36 Years on The Hill/ Gamer
Succeeds by Reason of Seasoned
Experience and Sound Judgment
Bascom Timmons
By BASCOM TIMMONS
John N. Garner would make a great
President. He has a better practical
understanding of national Govern-
ment than any other living man. It is
his life, and has
heen for 36 years.
At the end of
the three dozen
vyears under the
Capitol dome he
.is, according to
the calendar, 70
years old. Off
the calendar he
is 50 years old
and in tip-top
physical condi-
tion. This vigor
and physical
toughness he
would carry into
“■he greatest of-
fice within the gift of the people and
he would nave the extra 90 years of
knowledge of affairs, domestic and
foreign. He came to his present place
of eminence the hard way. In his pub-
lic service there is no problem of
'Government with which he has not
grappled.
Garner would make a great Presi-
dent because he has the proper tem-
perament for the office. He knows
when to advance and when to halt
and take stock. He understands the
'Nation’s legislative and administra-
tive digestive system better than any
man in the country. He would take
no outposts he could not hold. He
| would be the best insurance against
reaction, which so often follows un-
wise action. He has the poise and the
patience to work for permanency. He
would insist on sound legislation and
Coherent administration.
* * * *
Best Judge of People's Temper
He is probably the best judge of
■the temper of the people and their
(representatives in Congress, at any
given time, of any man in the United
States. He has an uncanny perspec-
tive, which enables him tc disregard
the clamor of voluble and vocifer-
ous minorities and find the desires
of the submerged majority. Perhaps
this is because he is a typical Amer-
ican, neither radical nor reaction-
ary, but progressive and forward-
looking.
Garner would make a great Presi-
dent oecause of his gifts of leader-
ship and his judgment of and
ability to work with men. He nas
often said that most men he has
known in public life were men of
good will, patriotically interested in
the welfare of their country He has
always found a zest in sitting down
with men who review problems from
diverse ngles. men of different ex-
periences. He believes that out of
such deliberatio >s come sound, prac-
tical, beneficial and progressive solu-
tions. He takes to such jounsel tables
his own fidelity to principles, clarity
of reasoning and ability to get at
facts.
His judgment of men is excellent.
When he became Speaker, in 1931.
he demonstrated his ability to choose
jnen for important assignments—of
finding the proper man to do a job.
Men were placed in roles for which
they were best qualified. He has al-
ways liked to reward merit in young
men, and this gave him the oppor-
tunity. Although the Democrats had
a fragile majority of only three votes
overnight, he welded them into a
cohesive, fighting organization.
Far-Flung Vetwork of Contacts
Because his acquaintanceship in all
. parts of the country is second to none,
d believe this far-flung 'network of
Contacts and knowledge of men woui,d
make it possible for Garnet to call
into service men of outstanding abil-
ity for his eabh.et and other adminis-
trative places His standard for
judicial appointments would be high.
He would be especially anxious to
find proper men for diplomatic
posts. His long experience on the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
imbued him with a deep and informed
interest in international relations.
That Garner considers the solution
of the unemployment and agricul-
tural problems as the two outstand-
ing challenges to the Union and that
the chief attention of a Garner admin-
istration would be bent to this end.
no one who knows him doubts. He
likes to tackle tough problems, and
here are two tough ones.
* • * •
Opposed to Government in Business
If any one is supporting Garner on
the theory he would be a do-nothing
President, that supporter would bet-
ter begin looking for a new man to
support. His would be a heads-up ad-
ministration. He believes modern gov-
ernment must meet modern needs.
He has said that “evolutionary pro-
cess must go forward to meet ever-
changing human needs.” He would
not have the Government evade any
legitimate function, but he would be
zealous in his endeavor to see it did
not encroach on functions outside its
field. “Putting the Government into
business is a violation of the Nation’s
industrial and commercial fabric,"
he declared in his 1932 acceptance
speech.
Garner would make a great Presi-
dent because he -horoughly believes
in our democratic system of three
branches of Government. He has
been called congressional-minded.
It is true he has fought invasion of
the prerogatives of Congress, but he
is just as firmly against trespass
against the executive and judicial
branches.
Believing as he does in a Govern-
ment of laws and not of men, he
abhors unnecessary bureaucracy and
would undoubtedly seek to dissolve
some of it entirely, put back in Con-
gress some of the legislative powers
it exercises, back in the courts some
of the judicial powers it occupies,
and back in the States some of the
local powers that belong there. All
this would preserve the natural dig-
nity of the executive branch, rather
than weaken it.
Garner believes, as did Grover
Cleveland, that the whole art, of gov-
ernment is simply applied common
sense and common honesty, with
reason, justice and tolerance as hand-
maidens.
U. S. Starts Census of Business
All eyes focused on Washington
when the second session of the 66
congress opened for what most
senators and representatives hope
will be a short term. Reason: It’s
a campaign year!

Has Vivid “Sense of Humanity”
Garner as President would be j
guided by a sense of humanity. It was 1 . .
he who introduced the first general | Henry Baumstnnler, single, to
relief bill in 1932. It was a pay-as- I Phillips Pet. Co., oil lease, 10 yr.,
you-go measure, and carried a tax to J $1 rentals, covers W 1-2 section
pay its cost. He believes in an ever- ^29 block B-2
increasing standard of living for the
working man and woman. He has a
passionate devotion for the well-be-
ing of men and women who work for
their daily bread. He has always
fought monopoly and the concentra-
tion of wealth, and has insisted that
the Government lay down rules to
guarantee free and fair competition.
He is for property rights because he
believes them the very bas. of human
rights. Ownership of property, he
thinks, is one of the best guarantees
of the dignity and independence of
the individual. He is against favori-
tism in law enforcement.
Garner knows you cannot get
something for nothing. He believes
in constructive economy. He is the
indestructible pioneer type who
learned in a pioneer country how
hard it is to make a dollar. He would
be scrupulously careful with the tax-
payer’s dollar. He has the courage to
resist fantastic proposals and boldly
to meet an issue
To continued efforts to find solu-
tions of the Nation’s problems
Garner would take to the presidency
vast experience. “Experience,” to
paraphrase the great Justice Holmes,
“is the life of administration.”
Garner ioves his country, believes
in it, knows it is durable and wants
it to believe in itself. He wants Gov-
ernment to do its part toward pre-
serving freedom of opportunity. He
believes economy, thrift and self-
reliance are still the hallmark of the
majority of Americans.

CENSUS IS BIG 1940 EVENT
One of the major events of 1940
that you can look forward to is
the census which Uncle Sam has
taken every 10 years since 1790.
But you’ll have to stick around
until April 1 to be counted.
Census officials decline to guess
about the census total, but they
sometimes use a formula which
indicates about a 132,000,000
count, compared with 124,0.00,000
in 1930.
HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
As the farmer keeps his fields
productive by, seeding them >vith
fertilizer, so the citizens of White
Deer can keep their homfe town
productive bv fertilizing it with
money spent at home.
Don’t find fault about business
not being good, if you failed to
use the advertising that builds up
business.
