Man in On GOP Split
Of 1912 Doesn't Feel
It Will Happen Again
Editors note: Sen. Robert A.
Taft. R-O.. fold a news con
ference at Washington last .
week that his father, William
Howard Taft, might be consid
ered a steamroller in the sense
that his father's forces had ,
control of the Republican con
vention in 1912 and added that
he "probably", controlled the
Republican national commit
tee this year. Here is the story
of one of the delegates to the
historic national convention
40 years ago.
BY WILLIAM MC MACKIN
Chicago (U.R) Eighty-three-year
old Bill Busse, who as a del
egate watched the Republican
Party split at a convention in
1912, says he doesn't think it
will happen again.
He was a member of the Il
linois delegation at the 1912 con
vention and cast a vote for
"Teddy" Roosevelt in his contest
with William Howard Taft, fath
er of Sen. Robert A. Taft, who
now seeks the GOP presidential
nomination at the convention
which opens next Monday.
Teddy Had Same Charge
Backers of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, battling with Taft
for the nomination, have said
Taft forces control the conven
tion machinery in 1952. "T.R."
came to Chicago in 1912 with
the same charge against the fol
lowers of the elder Taft.
"But he made more noise
about it," said Busse. When
Roosevelt lost out, he and his
backers bolted the convention
and formed the progressive
Bull Moose Party. The split in
the Republican ranks helped
Democrat Woodrow Wilson win
the presidency.
Busse, still an active member
of the Cook County Board of
Commissioners, said he doubts
that a third party will be formed
this year.
"The entire situation has
changed," he said. "Teddy had
been President. He was extreme
ly well liked by the people and
able to make a lot of noise."
246 Delegates Disputed
Busse said the 1912 conven
tion fight centered around 246
disputed delegates, most of them
Big Plane Makes
Emergency Landing
Firemen stood by at the Med
ford municipal airport early Sun
day morning when a United Air
Lines DC-4 made an emergency
landing.
The airliner, which had an ov
erheated motor, landed without
incident, the firemen said.
Sixty passengers and three
crew members were transferred
to an empty plane which had
been "dead-headed" from Den-
from southern states. Roosevelt
arrived on June 15 4o take per
sonal charge of what he called a
"naked fight against theft and
thieves."
A rip-roaring floor fight be
gan in convention at the Chicago
Coliseum. A Credentials Com
mittee was formed, with Nation
al Committeeman Thomas J. De
vine of Colorado elected chair
man. Busse said he was consid
ered an anti-Hoosevelt man. He
defeated W. S. Lauder of North
Dakota for the chairmanship of
the committee.
Then Roosevelt turned his
battle against the nomination of
Elihu Root as convention chair
man. He feared Root favored
Taft, Roosevelt lost again, and
Root, who had been temporary
chairman, took over as perman
ent chairman.
Roosevelt forces accused the
elder Taft of "steamroller" tac
tics when the convention voted
to allow contested Taft delegates
to vote on the membership of the
all-important Credentials Com
mittee. When the committee returned
its report, allowing the contested
delegates to remain on the tem
porary roll, Teddy walked out
and formed his own party.
Germs Kill Children,
North Koreans Claim
Washington (U.R) Sov
iet propagandists are telling Mid
dle Eastern radio listeners that
American fliers are dropping
germ-laden toys to kill Korean
children. A part of the virulent
"hate America" campaign from
Moscow, one broadcast gave a
highly dramatized "story" of a
17-year-old dancer who enter
tained wounded Red soldiers
near the front lines. "One day
an American plane dropped
some toys while she was perfor
ming," the Soviets -said.
"She picked up the toys and
gave them to the children, think
ing that American planes always
drop bombs and that the drop
ping of toys was a blessed
change.
"But the children who receiv
ed the toys died because the toys
were filled with plague microbes."

Taft Takes Command
In Republican Dispute
By LYLE C. WILSON -
Chicago (U.R) Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft took personal com
mand Monday in the Republi
can rules and delegate disputes
which have brought an angry
storm over the party and its
presidential nominating conven
tion which meets here July 7.
Republican tempers are hot
as the prairie winds. Fraud and
vote stealing charges flew fast
among the party men who two
weeks hence must pull up their
socks for another presidential
battle .with the Democrats. It
has been 24 years since a Re
publican took one of those.
Both Sides Confident
Both sides are confident. Taft
has 490 first ballot votes on the
United Press tabulation and Gen.
Dwight D.. Eisenhower 405.
Needed to nominate, a bare ma
jority of 604. There might be a
stalemate, but few expect it. Eis
enhower or Taft by July 11, is
the word here. No one foresees
a bolt because both candidates
have promised to support the
party ticket.
If the general and senator
knocked each other out Gen.
Douglas MacArthur would be a
likely prospect, or Sen. Everett
Dirksen of Illinois. . MacArthur
is the Taf t-picked keynote speak
er and Dirksen will make Taft's
nominating speech.
The senator arrived early to
day from Washington. 1
Ike Backers Gunning
Eisenhower's supporters are
gunning for the traditional con
vention rule which permits con
tested delegates okayed. by the
national committee and the cre
dentials committee to be seated
in the convention temporarily
and to vote on all delegate con
tests other than their own.
National Committee Chairman
Guy George Gabrielson said his
torical precedent for that rule
went back to 1888. Taft supports
that rule for 1952.
The 106-member national com
mittee will begin hearing con
tests Tuesday, taking the seven
affected states in order: Flori
da, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri and Texas.
Each contest will be decided be
fore the next is taken up. De
feated contestants may appeal
within 24 hours to the conven
tion credentials committee. Ap
peal from the credential com
mittee is to the convention, it
self. That is when the rule on
who may vote gets hot.
Texans Confident
Leaders of the contesting Tex
as delegations arrived in Chica
go loaded with confidence, evi
dence and bitterness toward
their adversaries.
Eisenhower in Denver was
pondering several Midwestern
speaking invitations preliminary
to his arrival here July 5, two
days before the convention
meets. The general is coming
for the duration. Taft will return
to Washington for July 4 and
leturn the next day to Chicago
with Mrs. Taft.
The senator's cause was nudg
ed Sunday night with announce
ment that Alf M. Landon, the
Kansas governor nominated for
president by Republicans in 1936
had come out for him.
Eisenhower headquarters in
Denver countered with a state
ment by John Hjkellum, James
town, N. D., that the general
was whittling away some of the
11 delegates Taft claimed there.
Hjkellum said the senator would
get not more than eight of North
Dakota's 14 votes on the first
ballot and few thereafter.
