Little if any change in, the gemeral plan for .conducting Republican party affairs in the South is likely under the administration of Claudius H.

After the selection of Mr. Huston as chairman of the national committee, reports were current that Horace A. Mann, who had charge of the Hoover campaign in the South, would be given direction of the general organization in that section, functioning through gen- eral committees to be built up around those formed with the approval of Post- master General Brown, Walter Newton, administrative assistant to President Hoover, and James Francis Burke, gen- eral counsel of the Republican national committee. Mr. Mann and Mr. Huston come from the same State, Tennessee; long have been personal friends, and with the election of Huston some political ob- servers concluded that Mann would win his controversy with the national com- mittee and the so-called administration patronage organization, which declined to approve & plan which he evolved for buildi a new party organization.

Party leaders generally resist any and ail proposals for a sort of super one-man control of Republican affairs in the South for a number of reasons, not the least of which is control of the delegation to the national party conventions. They insist that such a super con- trol plan would place entirely too much power in the hands of a single in- dividual as it would make it possible for him to control a very sizeable block of delegates in the convention and thus be in a position to influence if not actually dictate the action of the con- vention in matters both of platform declarations and candidates. i New 1st Quality Per square foot. . . 3c 3 Also Insulating Board and Fireproof Rockboard.
