Garner's Forces In Drive Against Third Term
Vice President John N Garner's Chinais forces launched a state wide campaign against President Roosevelt over the third term issue. The Garner for President committee outlined plans to organize support for Garner in the April 9 presidential preference primary. Spokesman Smietanka said the campaign would center on the anti third term issue. He noted an undercurrent against a perpetual autocratic officeholding group and Garner's belief in two terms. Smietanka said Garner would address Illinois and other speakers would come in. Mayoral ally Kelly challenged Democrats to take a stand against the third term. In Wisconsin the April 2 primary will test strength of both parties as delegates are filed for Vanderberg and Dewey. In Reno bicycle tags rise to 1500 needed this year.
