Garner, vice-president since 1933,
was one of the first to congratulate
Oregon’s Charley McNary on his
nomination for vice-president on
the Republican ticket. At the op

year Garner always invited McNary
to occupy his box while, from the
adjoining box. President Roosevelt
threw out the first ball. Most of
the Republican senators were at the
convention (S:nator Holman was at

Only one bid was submitted on

Police A. V. Cook and showed that
there had been 18 arrests made
