Extractions: CHAPTER 2: THE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION: EARLY EFFORTS TO PRESERVE THE TAFT HOME (continued) In order to coordinate research efforts on the property, Charles Taft placed an advertisement in the Cincinnati Enquirer for an "able researcher wanted to do historical research." The requirements included intelligence, ability to cope with details, an eye and an ear for history, and typing skills. In the fall of 1960, Taft hired Willa Busch Beall, a freelance writer whose assets included an "insatiable curiosity about everything except battles, mathematics, and space travel." [ ] Beall was hired as executive director of the Memorial Association on a part time basis. With Beall on board, Taft put out a call for letters, photographs, anecdotes, and other memorabilia associated with President Taft. Beall continued to work for the Memorial Association and Taft until mid-1964, when the organization committed its resources to the restoration effort. After a year and a half on the job, Beall had immersed herself in Taft family history. However, because restoration had not yet begun and public visitations were a more remote possibility, she admitted to Taft that, "As I see it, I have been educating myself to be a source of informationan available onesince you, the interested member of the family with the information originally, are limited in availability. For practical purposes at present, I have gone far beyond the needs for research." [
Extractions: At age 9, he suffered a slight skull fracture and a bad cut on the head when the horses drawing the family carriage ran off. [ ] There was speculation this injury damaged Taft's pituitary gland and caused his obesity [ ], but this is unlikely because: (1) Taft was big from birth [ and (2) throughout his life, Taft's weight generally paralleled his unhappiness [ As a child, Taft used to go swimming in a Cincinnati canal. A year before his death, he wrote: "I remember one occasion... when the sun was very hot and... the next day my back was so burned that I had to have a doctor and remain in bed.... I am sure that an examination of my back will still show the freckles that were the result of that day's excursion." [ ] Taft had fair skin, blue eyes and light hair [

Extractions: by Michael J. McQuillen President Herbert Hoover did not get to enjoy the Presidency for long following his victory in 1928. A little over seven months after his Inauguration the Stock Market crashed beginning a long and terrible economic and social period for the United States. The Republicans, meeting in Chicago for their 1932 convention, were less than enthusiastic about their chances for a successful fall campaign. Delegates renominated the team of President Hoover and Vice-President Charles Curtis. The G.O.P. platform blamed the Depression on worldwide economic woes, and viewed unemployment help as a problem for the private sector and local governments. Democrat party leaders, also in Chicago, saw their best chance for winning the White House since 1912, and jumped on the chance to promote federal remedies to the nation's unemployment woes. A repeal of the Prohibition Amendment was also endorsed. New York Governor, and 1920 VP candidate, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was nominated with running mate John Nance Garner of Texas to head the ticket. There were more varieties of Roosevelt - Garner jugates produced for the 1932 campaign than for any campaign since 1900. Perhaps the perceived strength of Garner on the ticket accounts for this mass production. The Hoover campaign by contrast was fairly conservative in its' button production, shying away from large expensive colorful buttons and sticking with cheaper mass-produced lithographed slogan pins. 1932 did see the largest increase by both parties of lithos for celluloid button use.

Extractions: Roosevelt ran for President in 1912, as a third-party candidate. There were suspicions that the strain of the campaign was proving too much for Roosevelt. His voice was bothering him seriously. Reports reached the Bull Moose headquarters that he was losing his grip, that he was repeating himself disastrously. He was forced to cancel two addresses scheduled for the Middle West because of his throat. The disability was bad enough to raise the possibility that he could speak no more. [ Roosevelt did not like to speak in the open air, for it put too much of a strain on his voice. [
