P. NOMINEE REAL CHOICE OF REPUBLICANS, [9 PATTON'S CLAIM Party “War Horse” Here Finds Conduct of Big Convention Refreshing In Contrast With Old Hugh L? Patton has returned from Chicago, where he was one of the Wyoming spectators at the Republican national convention. Mr. Patton has been going to Re- |publican ‘conventions for somé- thing like a matter of a hundred years he may be regarded as a good judge, of conventions from both inside } 4nd outside aspects. He says, that. for gripping Interest this yéar’s convention holds the historic’ record. “The man- ner {f# which the divergent views on platform planks were brought together in reasonable and wise compromise was a work of art,” he said, “and showed above all things else the desire of party leaders for victory and change to the country from the incompetent rule of the Democratic party that offers no relief ffom deplorable conditions that have held the country at a nervous ten- sion since the signing of the armistice. “The very uncertainty as to the nomi- nee kept the convention on the tip-tee of excitement until. Wyoming led the break to Harding followed by Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kansas and other large states. After witnessing conventions directed on the cut-and-dried plan, by managers controlling large blocks of votes, ready at any moment to deliver them and end the contest among can- |didates, and the conyention controlled by the uninstructed delegatos seeking to honestly interpret the will of their constituents, I am frank to say that I favor the latter method, The more We see and hear and the longer we live, the more favorably we view the lreal rule of the people who make up the voting strength of thé Republican party. They can be trusted to work out results in thelr own way and it is jReonanrees how correct. the consolidated judgment becomes on. final action, “My own choice of a Republican can- didate was long ago fixed upon Sena- tor Harding. In the hub-bub of pri- mary contests and the claims made by other tandidates, coupled with Senator. Harding's extreme modesty, I was rather led to the belief that possibly the delegates might .fail to recognize the strong points of the Harding can- | didacy. But they overlooked nothing They saw the weak and strong points In the sitvefion just as clearly as the experienced spectator and when the time came acted as promptly and fear- lessly as honesty and good judgment dictated. “I was mightily pleased to have wit- nessed @ big convention of this charac- ter. It was altogether different and. might add satisfying to an old time member of the party who has only the best interest of the party at heart. “The weuther in Chicago was not only warm, but was uncomfortably hot and jt is a relief to get back to the tall hills of Wyoming. “There was @ good representation of Wyoming Republicans at the conyen- tion and I may say that our delegates: sustained themselves with credit, our women compared more than favorably with those from other tions of the country, and altogether Wyoming made quite a splash at the big show.
