December 17, 1938 was the next big day for the Rebellion-when John Garner returned to Washington after six months in Texas. After two hours with National Chairman Jim Farley, the Vice President spent three and one-half hours with the President, trying to tell him that the November election results were not (as a famed Janizariat chart purported to prove) a collection of local overturns, but first evidence of a popular trend to the Right, toward economy.

...politics, Chip was meanwhile establishing a reputation as the Capital's greatest little mixer. After newshawks caught him and Presidential Secretary Marvin Mclntyre at a hotel room party given by the lobbyist for Utilitarian Howard Colwell Hopson, the roly-poly New Deal hobgoblin, Chip resigned. Presently, through Jim Farley's good offices, Chip bobbed up again as secretary of the Democratic National Committee. Today he and his beauteous second wife, "Evie" Walker, who has become a Washington chitchat writer (and last month, a mother), are the New Deal's sportiest couple...
