Object Details

Speaker John Nance Garner of Texas was featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1931. Garner is illustrated in a somber expression, perhaps a reference to his reputation as a headstrong adversary of Republican President Herbert Hoover. At the time of publication, Garner had just been elected Speaker of the House after the Democrats regained power for the first time since World War I.
