The. World Today

WASHINGTON R'-The scald-
ing bitterness between the Taft
and Eisenhower camps may boil
over in their struggle to seat rival
delegates at the Republican Ma
tional Convention next month.
. The contest now is focused on
disputed d leg a tes in Texas,
Georgia, Louisiana, and Missis-
sippi. Taft has offered to COM
promise on some disputed South
ern delegates, although he hasn't
said how. The Eisenhower people
say no.
If the fight becomes too fierce,
it may split the Republicans into
such hostile camps that it will cost
happen, and did happen before in
the party the election. 1t could
the Taft family.
The senator's father, President
William ward Taft, went
through this experience 40 years
ago in a rivalry with ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt at the Repub-
lican National Convention in Chi
cago where this one will be held,
too.
That struggle did more than just
break the party into factions. 1t
split the party. Roosevelt ran
against Taft on an opposition
ticket. The divided Republican
vote let Democrat Woodrow Will
son win the election easily.
No one this year is suggesting
an exact duplicate of 1912, with
the loser in the Taft Eisenhower
fight creating a rival party to run
anyway. Eisenhower said last
week he'll support the cndidate
chosen by the convention.
When he was elected i'm 1904
Theodore Roosevelt said he would
not seek or accept another nomi-
nation. But he had no intention of
losing his political grip altogether
when the 1908 elections came
around.
He handpicker Taft, his friend,
and associate, as his successor.
And the Republican convention
that year accepted Roosevelt's
choice. Taft was elected. But not
all of Roosevelt's followers liked
Tafts four-year administration.
Thfey told Roosevelt so when he
came back from an African hunt
ing trip before the 1912 elections.
They persuaded him to try for the
Republican nomination and an
other White House term. He did.
He drummed up convention dele
gates in the 13 states which had
presidential preference primaries.
He swamped Taft But most states
had no primaries and there the
Republican politicians had a word
to say for Taft.
Historian Harold u. Faulkner,
in his American Politics and So
cial History gives a picture of
what followed:
Administration Taft delegates,
handpicked from the South, gave
Taft a larger nucleus to start with.
And the national committee and
the committee on credentials saw
to it that the disputes were de-
clded in favor of the, regular Re-
publican machine.
When Roosevelt saw that the
convention was in the hands of
his opponents, he issued a scorch-
ing blast and urged his followers
to participate no longer in the
voting"
Roosevelt's followers then nom-
mated him as presidential candi-
date of theis new progressive
party. AS he arrived for that
partys convention, Roosevelt said
ne felt as good as bull moose"

never had a national television

The result: the Republican party

For every new house that Is ol
can be built, there are many Older
Iones; houses built to meet the liv-
ling needs of another decade. an
other century.
i Some show the marks Of time
and wear, fortunate or unfortu-
mate that there has been no one to
change them gradually to meet the
new demands. But these houses
should not be overlooked. Many
of them have qualities impossible
to incorporate in the houses we
can afford to build today. Higher
ceilings, larger rooms, more wall
space, more rooms.
If you need a place to live, start
looking and then take another look
and see what. can be done combin-
ing the good qualities Of old archi-
lecture with the new materials of
today.
After you have found the house,
then you must inventory your
needs and decide what walls need
to be torn out, what cupboards,
bookcases. closets and wardrobes
need to be built in. Have the
wiring checked. and by all means
have the house well wired to take
the electric load you will need
II you use the home appliances
the average family want, not to
speak Of the current needed to
light the home correctly.
Check the condition of the
floors. If poor. you may decide
to prepare them properly. so that
you can cover them with a serv-
iceable tile which will serve many
purposes. Many such items of
flooring have warmth and re-
siliency They clean easily and
are a wonderful asset in a home
where there are young people.
Recently, Joseph Aronson, a
New York decorator. did just such
a room in an old city brownstone.
The first floor in these houses was
considered the basement, and the
kitchen was usually there. Here
in the basement the decorator
created a cheerful library-family
recreation room. The room opened
of the garden, so he selected a
flooring which could take the in
evitable sand and mud from the
garden traffic.
He built shelves and cupboards
for magazines and books into a
recessed alcove. He painted the
walls and ceiling q light, cool
green and covered the furniture
with a beige-toned panamus
straw which is as easy to clean
as the floor. Blond mahogany

and zebra wood were used for the
wood pieces.
The dumbwaiter. which at one
time took the food to the first
floor to be served. now brings the
food down to be served in this
recreation room when the tele-
vision program is intriguing or
when the weather is such that
meals may be served in the garden
outside.
No longer can we classify rooms
as to use. We furnish them to
live in and use them as the mood
and occasion warrant. And this
trend holds true whether our
homes are newly built or re-
modelled.

Purdue, IIIini Defeats
Change Picture Again
In Big Ten Title Race
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The Big
Ten structure went through an
other reorganization over the week
end as football fortunes kicked a
couple more blue chip favorites-
Purdue and Illinois - off high
Iperches.
Purdue - along with Minnesota
and Michigan-was still atop the
conference standings, but the
Boilermakers' stock nosedived af-
ter Notre Dame cashed in a 26-14
upset.
But that little item didn't re-
sound half so loud as the virtual
destruction of Illinois champion
ship hopes by Minnesota. 1877.
Meanwhile. Michigan's Wolver-
lines were bulling through North
western. 48-14, in an upsurge that
previously carried them over In
diana. Despite two non-conference
losses, therefore, the Wolverines
NOV are definite contenders for the
championship.
The same can be said of Mime
sofa. The Gophers looked like any
thing but. title material in early
losses to California and Wash
|ington, but in beating Northwest
|ern, 27-26, and now Illinois-prob-
ably the team most heavily ia
vored for the conference crown
last week-they have proved they
aren't going to sit this one out.
Otherwise, Saturdays games
went as expected. Wisconsin beat
Iowa, 42-13. Indiana stif1ed Tenn
pile, $50, and Ohio State drubbed
Washington State, 35-7.
The expected, however, has not
always happened this season. First
Illinois, the preseason favorite,
was knocked off by Wisconsin. On
the strength Of that victory. the
Badgers scared to the top of the
national AP poll. Ohio State was
right up there. too.
Then Purdue beat Ohio State
and the miffed Buckeyes followed
with an upset of Wisconsin. That
seemed to place Illinois in line
