Texas Stands Behind
John Garner
Texas State Democratic
Executive Committee gave a
ringing endorsement to the
presidential as-
pirations of John
Garner, despite
some protests
which were not
warranted.
Mr. Garner is
of high ability
and probity. He
john garner has won great
distinction. He aspires to the
presidency. Above all, he is a
Texan. He has a right to go to
the national convention with
the solid hacking of his state,
just as every other state’s fa-
vorite son may have a right to
expect his state’s support.
This implies no party split,
no discrediting of President
Roosevelt or anybody else.
It is just pro-Garner, that’s
all. Entirely proper.
