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.

As a political realist he knows that the odds are long against any particular man other than a President in office winning the Presidential nomination. But if his rebellion should serve as a lightning rod to draw the lightning his way, who is he to say it nay? Or to object if his becoming a candidate consolidates a group to nominate another who represents Garner's ideas of what the Democratic nominee should be? Jim Farley, who controls most of the national Democratic...
