Put up against him was Republican Bertrand Snell of New York (TIME, Dec. 7). The vote: Garner, 218; Snell: 207; Schneider, a Wisconsin Insurgent: 5. None of the three voted for himself. With the House, now Democratic for the first time in twelve years, standing and cheering, Speaker Garner in a brown-speckled suit was ceremoniously led up the new blue carpet to the rostrum, duly installed. With one autocratic sweep...
