FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 17.
(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."
