National Affairs: Carrying the Country

“We’ll carry the country!” exclaimed Vice Presidential nominee John Nance Garner last week as he swung his feet off his desk in the Capitol and started back to Uvalde, Tex. to vote. Speaker Garner had made only one radio speech during the campaign (TIME, Oct. 24).
