...until reprieved by Warren Harding's death, grew colder and stiffer day after day. Charles Gates Dawes flared up in boisterous self-assertion, only to settle back into the humdrum of a perfunctory office. Charles Curtis steadily inflated with the love of pomp. Two years ago John Nance Garner joined their company. By last week, as he neared the close of his third session as President of the Senate, it was apparent that he, too, had undergone a Vice-Presidential change...
...concerned with the election contest filed against him by Democrat Chavez. Fellow Progressives in the Senate, devoted to Senator Cutting, hotly resented the Administration's efforts to displace him through the Chavez candidacy and subsequent contest (TIME, May 20).

Mr. Garner has expressed the opinion that currency inflation--which the Pat-man Bill would effect--would at this time be advantageous to the country's economic welfare. Other Senators are asking...
...Deal's laws have been passed by a combination of the progressives of all parties and by Democrats loyal to the New Deal because it bears their party label. Many a Democrat has put party loyalty above his own convictions but today such loyalists as Vice President Garner, Senators Joe Robinson and Pat Harrison find it hard to hold together the coalition of New Dealers and Democrats. For at heart the biggest bloc of Democrats still prefers states' rights to centralization of power. Last week's debate on the anti-lynching bill reminded them again. The slowing...
