(AH) "When industrialization of Texas is accomplished, or per haps even while it is tinder way, the only goal left open for suprem acy will lie in governmental In fluence" said Ktliott Roosevelt, lu a radio broadcast last night. Saying he felt the time has come for some consideration now, the president's son described Vice President Garner as a Texan quali fied to succeed as chief executive of the nation. Roosevelt cited the great strides Texas has made in recent yeurs ; in population, leadership lu agri culture, und output of basic commo dities for industry, und Insisted this state should be given the, recognition in political leadership and prestige denied her In tbe past. Reviewing past history, the spuuker said Texus never had pro duced a native son who gained a federal office higher in rank than a seat In the United States sen ate until Garner was elected vice president. For Garner, whom he called "the plain-spoken Texan witli the home ly habits of a ranch-hand,' Roose velt had high prulse. The. vice president's greut influence in vi UBhiiigton was stressed as was his steudfust refusal to subscribe to "any of the 'isms' that ure now so pertinent in government." "It Is foolish to say that Garner is a new dealer," It is equully fool ish to say that he, is a " 'reaction tionary,' or a 'conservative'." Gar ner, Roosevelt declared, "is simply Garner, and by being himself, by making his own routls, uud by us ing his influence us his conscience dictates, he more neurly personi lies the average Texun in Wash ington than uuy other man we can name." of pneumonia, suffered a setback last week.
