But the democratic high command came to the conclusion that he would have to be drafted, and Jack responded to the call like the good party soldier he is. Garner's speGarner cial assignment By JAMES M'MULLIN NEW YORK, Sept. Vice President John N. Garner came to democratic headquarters in New York last week and indications are that he is going to stick around for a It is certain that he will take a far more active part in the campaign than 1 he has hitherto. New York sources close to the V.

P. say that personally he would will be to soothe business men and conservative democrats generally. It is hoped that he will inspire enough confidence in such circles to win quite a few doubtful votes in key northern states for his chief. RIGHT--A curious paradox lies behind the decision of the democratic general staff to haul Mr. Garner out of his contented seclusion.

Your correspondent has run into it on numerous occasions, and key men of both parties report that they encounter it frequently. It amounts to this. Many a business man who has been a lifelong democrat will, on the slightest provocation, rip Roosevelt and his new deal to shreds with vivid vocabularies. Yet these same harsh critics, asked if they do not view the possibility of Roosevelt's reelection will alarm, often snort a forcefully negative reply. They maintain with assurance that Roosevelt would turn definitely to the right in his second term and that therefore there is no real reason to about the constitution, the worry federal budget or any other point on which conservatives take strong issue with the new deal.

This contradictory viewpoint is sufficiently common among right wing democrats to make it appear that plenty of worthwhile brands yet be plucked from the burnmay ing if the right people do the plucking. Jack Garner is rated one of the rightest for this mission. SURPRISE--New York republican leaders were enormously enwhich greeted Alf couraged by the public turnouts trip across the state last week. Party chiefs of course mobilized their local organizations to make best possible showing but in the several cases the crowds exceeded their fondest expectations.

Its corporals and sergeants were ordered to round up everybody they could at that the they railroad would do their stuff, station. Assuming leaders looked for a Syracuse gathering of about 8,000 at the most. Instead, nearly 15,000 were interested enougst in Landon to be on hand-a gratifying surprise. STATE-Plans are being completed the New York republican state convention.

It has been settled Frank Knox -vice presidential nominee will be the number one speaker. This arrangement has so far been kept a carefully guarded secret. Listed for the second most prominent spot on the program is Diston, Nassau county. He trict Attorney, Martin W. Littleisn't very well known outside his own bailiwick, but insiders privateexpect him to down the ly house.

He is said to have inherited his father's remarkable oratorical talents. CORDIAL--The following incident Governor Landon's trip across upstate New York made quite an impression on those who witnessed it, although it did not get into print. A rather nondescript group of republicans leaders of only minor importancegot aboard the train at one station in the hope that the governor would at least receive them for a few minutes. In course this was arranged, and Mr. Landon entered the car where the group was awaiting him.

With him was one of his chief lieutenants, who addressed the visitors as follows: "Gentlemen, the governor is very glad to see you and to greet you, but you will realize that he has had a very hard trip and is very tired. He has done a great deal of handshaking in the past few days and I know you will excuse him if he doesn't greet, you individually in that way." At this point Mr. Landon interrupted by saying that this was nonsense, and immediately walked through the group shaking hands with everyone in it. The gesture was SO spontaneous and cordial that it made a big hit. IMPRESSED -Financial and industrial leaders are paying close attention to the interstate commerce commission's hearings on Chicago Northwestern's affairs.

It is felt that the lawyers and accountants for this railroad in receivership have registered the most effective and intelligent criticism--backed by provable figures- yet scored against the undistributed profits tax. ICC officials are reported to be much impressed by the road's case against the tax.
