Washington, Dec. 17.
Vice-President John Nance Garner formally tossed his Texas sombrero into the Presidential race yesterday and appeared likely to inaugurate open political warfare among the Garner forces who have been the unofficial sponsors of a third term for President Roosevelt.
Mr. Garner's participation in the race for the Presidency was announced yesterday in typical Garner fashion on the front porch of his rambling Uvalde, Texas home.
He dictated a 44-word statement to Mr. Bascom Timmons, Texas newspapermen and intimate of the Vice-President.
"I will accept the nomination for President," he said. "I will make no effort to control any delegates. The people should decide. The candidate should be selected at the primaries and at the conventions asyprovided by law. I sincerely trust all Democrats will participate in them."—United Press.
