Garner Seeks Conference With Roosevelt on Legislative Plan
Washington, D. C., Dec. 28. Vice President Garner returned from Texas and said he would confer with President Roosevelt on the congressional legislative program. He disclosed Roosevelt asked him to be in Washington for the conference before Congress convenes. Garner said Texas is in good shape aside from drought areas and that Texans broadly back the administration, with few constitutionalists among Republicans and Democrats. He discussed the charge of him being a “forgotten man” and explained the vice presidency has no fixed duties beyond presiding over the Senate and voting in ties. He noted he does not make recommendations unless asked and emphasized his aim to stay informed and provide advice when required.
