White House finishes Noble Hall in oak decor
Washington notes describe the state dining room in the White House finished in dark oak with carved pillars and walls adorned by game heads. The collection is government property, often at national expositions or the National Museum, not Roosevelt’s hunting trophies. Senators Beveridge and West are mentioned in debates on militia service and lengthy Senate speeches, with Grifiths proposed wealth limit bills and other congressional remarks amid a mix of lighter, reflective commentary on humbug and public bills.
