“EVIL OLD MAN”
ATTACK ON AMERICAN VICE-PRESIDENT. MADE BY LABOUR LEADER. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. WASHINGTON, July 27. The Vice-President, Mr J. N. Garner, is a “Labour-baiting, poker-playing, whisky-drinking, evil old man.” With this statement, uttered at a Congressional hearing where Mr J. L. Lewis charged the Vice-President with opposing Labour, the leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization launched a serio-comic political incident. Mr Garner, when asked to comment on the statement, only chuckled. The Texas delegation in Congress, however, immediately held a caucus and issued a pronouncement expressing their “deep resentment and indignation over this unwarranted and unjustified attack on his (Mr Garner's) private and public life.” Mr Garner is one of those who have been mentioned of late as possible Presidential candidates.
