RELATIONSHIP
Some months ago Rev. A. L.
Maureau read in The Citizen that
Miss Anne M. Locke and her
tw’o sisters, former residents,
were visiting the city, and sus
pecting that they might be re
lated to him he called on them,
and after comparing their
genealogies, found that all were
descended from Captain John
Lccke, Who had come from Eng
land in 1638. and settled near
Portsmouth, N. H. In 1696 when
reaping grain in his field he was
killed by the Indians.
After the Lockes left town.
Miss A. M. Locke started cor
respondence with Rev. Maureau,
who replied and 1 forwarded clip
pings from The Citizen, which
pleased and interested her, as it
showed what Key West was in
1939. Recently she sent him con
gratulations for his birthday. 70

of Christ”, by Chinese Artists,

Economic Highlights
There is an American tradition
to the effect that the Vice-Presi
dent of the Republic shall be a
man who rays little and does less
—an official with an imposing
| title and a substantial salary, but
'with few responsibilities and al
most no authority. Some years
ago a very successful stage farce
was written around the idea of a
vice-president named Winterbot
tom who kept wandering about
his party headquarters and could
find no one who knew’ or cared
who he wa?. And, in actual his
tory. the vice-presidertcy has been
used more than once to “get rid”
of some man whom party leaders
thought too troublesome. Roose
velt the first is a case in point—
he was kicked upstairs into the
vice-presidency because he had
made many enemies as Governor
of New’ York, and he very likely
would have been doomed to ob
scurity had not McKinley’s assas
sination taken him to the White
House.
Garner to the Fore Now
“Cactus Jack” Garner seemed
to be the perfect stuff of which a
run-of-the-mill vice-p resident
should be made. An able con
gressman, with decades of serv
ice behind him, he was known as
a hard but unspectacular worker.
And when he assumed his posi
tion of vice-president, he seemed
to fit well into the Classic mold.
A good disciplinarian and admin
istrator, he apparently took little
part in politics. He wasn’t often
in the headlines. But now, times
Lave dramatically changed, and it
is around the genial, plain figure
of Jack Garner that much of to
day’s most important political
discussion is centering. He has
become the great hope of the con
servatives in the Democratic
party—and the leader of a quiet
out unrelenting “rightist rebel
lion” against the New Deal.
Well Suited For New Role
In the view of some of the most
astute political commentators,
the Vice-President is w’ell suited
to this new role. In origin, train
ing and experience he is the log
ical representative of those mil
lions of people whom little is
heard but who nonetheless hold
the real balance of power in
America the merchant, the
farmer, the rancher, the small
town banker and lawyer and doc
tor. In political philosophy, he
might be termed a conservative
libelal—he believes reform should
be achieved slow’ly and cautious
ly without disheartening or dis
| coui aging business. He has cer
' tain gifts of immense political
importance—a nerveless patience
(it is characteristic of the man
that he is called the best poker
player in Washington, where fa
with most of the faces, clothing
and background; fully in Chinese
style.
mous poker players abound); a
vast knowledge of the techniques
of political strategy; a talent for
making friends; a winning.
; "home-spun” personality; a knack
for terse, individually phrased
comments on events. The latter
is illustrated by a remark he is
rumored to have made to the
President: "You've got to give
the cattle (meaning business) a
chance to put some fat on their
bones”.
Leads Pro-Economy Group
It is around Gamer that the po
tent pro-economy group of Demo
cratic senators has gathered. He
is very close to Senator Hamson.
i who is leading the economy drive
on the floor. He is strongly in
favor of tax revision—though.
1 like the cagey politician he is. he
does his talking in the privacy of
his office, and not m public. And
it is universally reported that he
was largely responsible for per
suading the Senate to reduce the
WPA appiopnation asked by the
President, to the tune of $150,-
000,000. As Time observes, “Ex
traordinary fact about the Garner
Rebellion is that its leader does
nol for one minute expect to win
its Economy object; at least, not
at this session of Congress”. He
is biding his tune, getting in hts
licks, and planning fur the fu
. ture.
? Highly significant is the fact
j that Garner now’ leads in all the
standard polls for 1940’s Deroo
] cratic presidential nomination,
j On the debit side is the fact that
' he is 70 now—an age that is gen
