Tricky Weather Keeps Seword Guessing

Since the warm chinook last Friday which ran the thermome- ter up to 45 degrees, the weather man in Seward has gone wild and gray haired attempting to predict what will come next.
 A warm rain during the last days of 1851 melted snow to slush which froZe up for New Years Day, putting a glare Of ice over every street in town. This in turn was covered by ap- proXimately foot Of fresh snow Wednesday night and Thursday in a beautiful, quiet blanket.
 By Friday morning strong winds had caused weird and un- expected drifts, stranding cars and pedestrians in spots adiOin- ing absolutely bare spaces on tbc streets. Houses facing south found front porches driftcd head high while nei~hbors' pOrChCS across tht street W>re swept clean. High winds and falling temperatures made sourdoughs ot many chclcnakos.

Council Posfpones Decision On
 Wo+er Bond Issue

At a special meeting of the city council last Friday called for discussion of the adVisability Of calling for special bond is sue to finance immediate reha- bllitatiOn of the water system. the decision was postponed until further consultation with Felix Toner, engineer.
 The system, acquired from the private owner, Seward Water Company, is nov operating un- der the street dcpartm cnt. A pro gram of private financing by means of bond issue could pos sibly speed up the project enough so that the work could be done during the same season as the sewer projact which is ex- pected to start in the spring It would, however, according to council members, mean that the water system would of necessity be placed under the control of the utility board, which action has been opposed by many toWnspeopla.
 MT. Toner, who conducted the survey of the water system re- sulting in the purchase by the city, is expected to arrive in town some time Saturday. It was not known today whether there would be a special council meet ing Saturday night, or whether the matter would wait until the regular meeting Monday night January '

Gov. Adams, a sparkp1ug OF the

popular man in New Hampshire.

The conclusions that could be
drawn from this paradox were in
finite in number. Taft himself ex-
planned that he hadn't had time to
campaign thoroughly enough. But
however many the possible conclu-
sions, and whatever their nature,
there was only one fact apparent
after Tuesdays voting. That fact
was embodied In New Hanpshire's
cold election returns.
These returns showed, among
other things, that Taft actually got
smaller proportion Of votes in the
places he visited than he did In the
places he stayed away from. He
rode triumphantly into far North
ern Berlin on the first night Of his
tour, and spoke to 1000 people. Yet
only 233 Berliners voted for him.
There is no telling, of course,
whether Taft would have been bet
ter or worse of in Berlin and the
scenes Of his other major defeats

But there is plenty Of room for

The Republicans

Senator Taft's prophecies that he
would win the preferential primary
in a close "horse race" and that
he would take four Of the States
IA Republican delegates, are an
cient history now. But the reason
ing behind these predictions is
worth considering in the light Of
what happened. Taft thought he
would score a personal victory but
would win only q fraction Of tie
delegates because he had the idea
that personal popularity of dele
gates would count for a lot In the
primary.
He admitted that it would not be
particularly logical for q voter TO

and then choose delegates favor

tion. The rest is history.
No More Coonskin
That coonsEin cap, by the way,
which has become Kefauver's politi-
cal symbol. now reposes In the tro-
ply room Of the University Of Mary
land. Kefauyer lost 1t to Senator
O'Conor betting on last years Mary
land-Tennessee game. and the Mary
land legislator gave it to the victors.
Kefauyer himself rarely wears q
coonSiin cap these days he leaves
that kind Of horseplay to his younger
and more enthusiastic followers.
Southerners are not quite sure
what to make Of Estes Kefauver.
They sometimes wonder how he got
that way. They find his record per-
picking. He does not approve, for
instance, Of the fllibuster. But
neither does he approve Of the idea
Of q national Fair Employment Prac-
tices Act: and when Southern Sem
ators filibustered against FEPC in
1850, he opposed cutting on debate.
He favors Federal laws insuring
Negroes an equal right to vote. But
he thinks anti-1ynching laws should
be left up to the individual States.
Dixieldnd Outsider
His biggest trouble, from the
Southern point Of view. Is that he
does not tend to think consistently in
terms Of sectional interest. For ex-
ample, he has advocated q constitu-
tional amendment to make the elec-
toral vote reflect the popular vote.
Such an amendment. II adopted,
would cut down the Soutl1's political
strength, but probably he did not
weigh It LII that light. The proposal
seems likely to have been prompted
BY the same impartial concern for
good government that led Kefauver,
In 1949, to propose that the executive
branch should be made answerable
for its stewardship on the floor OF
Congress. The fact Is, In any event,
that his independent performance
has made Kefauver something Of q
political Outcast in his Dixie home
land excepting Tennessee.
How the rest Of the country reacts
to him as presidential aspirant re-
mains largely to be seen. President
Truman obviously does not like him
but this does not seem to bother
Kefauver too much. As he bundles

Of the State. just as he did in most
Of the urbanized regions.
Motives Are q Puzzle
The motives OF voters In the Re.
publican race are even harder to as
certain than In the Democratic con.
test. It Is safe TO say that the
entire @. o. p. vote was anti
Truman, but the President was not
directly involved, as he was In the
Democratic race. Indirectly, he was
quite important, however; the big
issue in New Hampshire,s Republi-
can primary was who was best
fitted to unseat Mr.. Truman and his
Democratic administration.
It almost, but not quite. boiled
down to whether Taft was enough
Of q vote getter to warrant national
party support in the summer ana
fall. The Ohio Senator contended
he was. His big argument in his
three-day campaign tour was:

Look at the record: Taft always has
won"
What Senator Taft did not ex-
plain in detail to the voters OF New
Hampshire was that he was talking
about general election contests.
The ohioan's victory record is
clean. for the times when he was
running for ONCE in Ohio. He did
not tell voters that he had had
previous unfortunate primary elec-
ton experiences outside his home
State--rlor did he touch on the out
come Of the 1910. 1914 and 194o
Republican National Conventions
when he tried to become the pres
idential nominee, and failed.
In the strict context Of what he
was talking about. Senator Taft's
record remains clean, even after
what happened last Tuesday. He
may, however. have a hard time in
the future making an appeal for
votes on a "Taft's-a-winner' basis.
