Porto Rico 2, Coolidge. The Session. < Despite the fact that it was the one big day of the convention dele- gates were slow‘in arriving and the hands of the clock passed 10 with party managers and delegates scat- tered about the hall and on the platform in conferences in which the vice president was the sole topic. The word. got around that there would be two sessions, the first for the nomination of Prest dent Coolidge and the other after a recess for luncheon for the nom- ination for vice president. A good many of the party leaders did not come to the hall’for the first ses- sion but remained in thelr rooms in hotels talking with representatives of groups of delegates seeking to find some crystalization of senti- ment. Tho situation changed mom- entarily, it seemed. “When it be- came known that Senator Borah had reiterated his refusal one group of leaders declared that meant the nomination was headed in the di- rection of Hoover and another group declared that it was turning to Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Republican whip of the senate. Still another group declared that the situation forecast a contest on the floor between Senator Curtis and Judge Kenyon of Iowa. The boom for Senator Watson was much in evidence and his partisans de clared it was not to be downed. The truth of the situation obviously was that sentiment had not crystalized overnight and that the delegates were waiting for some one to say the ‘word to lead them. Dr. Marion Leroy Burtqn was on the form early ready to nomin- ate President Coolidge. After con- ferring with convention managers it was decided he would not deliver his speech at such length as he had prepared it, but would speak proba- bly fer less than an hour. ‘The word ran around the con- vention hall that President Coolidge and Senator Borah were in confer- ence in Washington, At the same time the word came that various state delegations in meeting had de- cided to support this or that candi- date “until further notice.” The significance of that was that the delegations were waiting for the word. Senator Wadsworth of New York, when he arrived on the convention floor said: “We understood last /night that Senator Borah would accept. We didn’t get in touch with the senator. Now de don’t know where we are, Overnight the situation has been blown kite high.” Thirty minutes after the hour set for convening the aisles were clog: ged with delegates standing up or milling around talking about the vice presidency. There were many mpty seats in the galleries. Lead- were called to the platform for 4 conferences and then des- to parts of the hall or to conference rooms outside. Tho Sams, a marching club of N. ¥., brought in a touch coming into the hall led by » and drum corps of women, It became known that Senator Beveridge had received a telegram from Senator Borah authorizing him to withdraw his name if it were presented to the convention, Sena- tor Beveridge sent back word to the Idaho senator urging him not to the nomination and was wait: a reply. et ions couldn't get order 1e strains of the “Star Spang! quieted the disorder and hur patche Uncle Buffalo of cole ought the delegates to quiet. Then » Schrembs, of the Roman atholic diocese of Cleveland, of: fered prayer. After the prayer the song leader got into action again and led the convention in singing America. Chairman Mondell then recogniz- ed Senator Wadsworth of New York, who took the platform and got a demonstration from all parts of the hall, He told the convention he had heen directed by his delegation to offer a resolution to send a telegram to Chauncey M. Depew who was un able to come to the convention for the firet time since the nomination Lincoln. It was a telegram of ch on Mr. Depew's recent intieth birthday. The resolution was adopted with ers and ‘the telegram was order 1 sent to Mr. Depew. Then the chair called for the names of the new national committeemen and com mittee women. ‘The state delega- tions responded with the names as they were called by the clerk from thé platform While the call of committee names was going on the word went out from the Wisconsin delegates that would support Senator Georg Norris of Nebraska, for vice presndent utor Norris shas prominently been identified with the insurgent bloc in tho senate. William M. Butler and Frank B Stearns apparently got through with their conference elsewhere and took seats on the platform. Mr. Butler's name was among those called in the list of new members of the com mittee. There was some applause and some cheering when name was announce Coolidge’s political the platform looking delegates nnd gave no responso to the greetings. The vice prestdential conferring went on among the delogates whi the committee nanics were being called and the Kentucky delegation let it be known that it had not| abandoned Lowden and would y for him despite his repeated tions. When the clerk called f. consin’s names, the ¢ turned in that direc pectancy. ‘The name © give as usual however, and the clerk wnt on to the next state witho any demonstration. When Secretary Mellon rose to call the names from Pennsylvania, he gave the name of the committee first on grounds of courtesy, byt before he could announce the name of the men, the reading clerk re- versed the order and gave the name of Senator Pepper first. Tho con- vention got a laugh out of it and Secretary Mellon sat down without having announced the name of the committeeman at all, The clerk had done it for him. Senator McKinley of Iilinols of- fered a resolution to refer the con- test over the place from Porto Rico to the convention On motion of Senator, Norbeck of South Dakota, it was voted to have the convention also investigate and dispose of the question over the na- tional committeeman from Alaska. Attorney General Ekern of Wis- consin took the floor to discuss the resolution. He said that Commit teeman Todd had come before the credentials committee naming him- self and Former Governor E. Mott Reilly as delegates but that the cre- dentlals were unsigned, At the same time he said Juan Soto, a na- tive of Porto Rico came before the committee with credentials coming from a native convention. . The Porto Rican delegates he said, at a meeting last night had chosen Mr. Soto for Mational committeeman. He asked the convention to recog- nize Soto. The motion to have the matter re- ferred went through, however. The chairman then recognized Representative Ogden Mills of New York to moye the formal election of committeemen and committee wo- men which had just been named. ‘There was no dissent. A delegation from The Defenders of the Union’thén marched down the center aisles headed by Senator Willis while the convention rose to its feet. The Civil war veterans marched down carrying their muskets and the convention sang “Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching.” The delegation was composed of the Old Guard of Columbus, 0. Then on behalf of the convention, Chairman Mondell thanked the old guard for coming. The old men fil- ed out at carry arms_to the accom- paniment of cheers and applause from the floor and galleries. Marion O. Humphreys, Maryland, offered a resolution to limit second- ing speeches for nomination of president to five minutes. The convention was not long in adopting that. With that the convention went to the calling of the roll for nomina- tions for president, Alabama, the first state called, yielded to Massachusetts, and Gov- ernor Cox of Massachusetts, who moved that Dr. Marion Leroy Bur- ton “be accorded the privilegé of placing in nomination “the candf- date of Massachusetts.” So as it turned out Dr. Burton spoke as rep- resenting Massachusetts, the presi- dent's home instead of Michigan, his own, Dr. Burton, a tall striking figure, stepped briskly to the front of the platform and calmly surveyed the great audience, waiting for the ap- plause and cheers to die down so he could begin his speech. “Fellow citizens qf America, the greatest country the world has ever seen,” he began, while the hall rocked with cheering. Dr. Burton spoke clearly and rapidly. He spoke without manuscript, but followed his prepared address gen erally, shortening it here and there but preserving the sense of the speech he had prepared and which undoubtedly was approved by Prest- dent Coolidge. “I shall speak here as a personal friend of the president,” he said “and I beg of you not to think of me as one engaged in political ac tivity. I am merely the president a tax-supported universtt “I shal! not be discussing party policies or platform,” he said, ‘My emphasis must be upon the man. My task is to tell you why the president should succeed himself and formally place him in nomina- tion. “I wish there were time for me to tell you some of the things I person- ally know about the president of the United States. He represents the aradox of greatness. This man is of of us and when it fd that rarely common, he is rarely mon. He represents all of those plain human virtues of Amer itizenship at its best. To me » most distinctive thing about the man,” continued Burton, “is his moral fibre. We could almost lgave the whole case there.” When Dr. Burton was stopped applause he remarked: You know we appreciate your ap: plause, but I wish you would keep vd wait until I have really thing. I think this business of public speaking in America is a by vice, but remember in this speech I not only have to hear it. I have to mm It Rapidly’ Dr. Burton sketched the president's boyhood and eurly life and then proceedeed to answer the question “is he a human being Clean in the can! No dust or chaff! Che Casper Daily Cridune KENYON OUT R NOMINEE CLEVELAND, O., June 12.—Nomination of Judge Wil- liam S. Kenyon of Iowa, as the Republican candidate for vice-president became a strong possibility shortly after noon today with announcement by William M. Butler, President Coolidge’s manager, that Kenyon would be ac- ceptable. The announcement ‘began to spread through the convention and conferences began looking teward the consolidation of strength behind the former Iowa senator. Mr, Butler, himself, despatched agents to ascertain sentiment among the delegates. The plan proposed by leaders was to recess the convention after the nomination to meet again tonight, with a view to giving the Kenyon movement an opportunity to get under way. Consolidation of the Kenyon strength was met by gathering to- gether of the forces opposed to the Iowa man, and indications of a fight on convention floor began to develop. ; The arrangement-to recess the convention until night was aband- oned, however, in favor of the ear- Mer for an hour and a half’s re- cess. One group opposed to Kenyon, consisting of Senator Lodge, Massa- chusetts, Reed of Pennsylvania and Wadsworth of New York; and Sec- retary Mellon held what was un- derstood to have been a protest meeting in a committee room. Fed former 8T. PAUL, Minn., June 12. eral Judge W. 8. Kenyon, Rte. WM. 8. KENYON, United States senator from Iowa, declared last night that he was sat. isfied with judicial work and hoped his friends would do nothing to take him out of it. Judge Kenyon is here for the spring term of cir- cult. court. ES ‘I assure you,” said he, “he is, but he is not naturally hilarious.’ “His mind has time to work be- cause his tongue permtis,” said Dr. Burton. “Here then is the man,” said Dr. Burton as he finished a word pic- ture of the president, “is the man we have before us. Make no mistake he is the type of leader for which Amorica is in dire need today.” “A good deal has been said about convention conservatism of this man. A good many thing have been said that would be interesting if they were true. Many people have tried to stick on this man the label of a dead conservatism, but he does not worship the past as the past. To him truth knows. no time distinction. A thing to him fs true, as it accords to the standard of reason and ex- perience. s ‘There are conservatives who ex- emplify the vain proud unteachab) ness of human nature ‘and he used the past for a guide to the future. Those who talk about his conserva. tism ‘neea@ to get a little closer un- derstanding of what conservatism is. He realizes that changes must come but he does not concede that the clamor for®thange today means fhat- our ‘governmental agencies should be destroyed. He believes in change to be sure, but he could not ignore the truth that. comes from the past. 3 “Tt's easy to destroy and its's dif- ficult to build up and this man in his’ conservatism points out to us the blessings that we now enjoy. His conservatism is progressive, it looks to he future, it looks and it says'that it’s your task and mine to fight for the kind of freedom Amer- ica represents. Heart and soul this man is an American.” Pausing in his line of speaking, Dr. Burton turned asice for a mo- ment to refer to attacks upon the supreme'court and proposals to have judicial decisions overridden by leg istative action, “This,” he sald, “would be a vicious attack on the fundamentals of- Americanism,” while the conven tion. rose and cheered. “This man is an out and out na tlonalist. He believes in the und! minished and ~ unteammeled ve ereignty of the United States of America, We have not here only a man with a character we can trust, we have here a man who knows that law must be observed and one who in all respects and in all ‘cir- cumstances will not suffer dimunition of American dence. He is superbly, American.” Dr. Burton's peroration the convefition to its feet any indepen supremely brought with an outburst of cheering applause and the procession of delegati art ed around the floor with Vermont in the lead, Other delegates quickly followed carrying thelr state's ndards and soon the aisles we clogged with a marching, cheering, shouting throng. There were some rebellious interspersed in the de monstration. Boys from Plymouth, Vermont, carried a banner read- Ing. “We are all members of the home town Coolidge. club.” At the first the demonstrators did not have the Inaplration music to spur them on but soon they got going to the air of the band which played a song. ‘Tho demonstration was all for Coolldge, a noisy but hearty one The great pipe organ took up the music and the electric lighting ef. fects were used to good advantage of a bathing tho hall and the swirlir milling, mass of cheering delegates in different shades of light rang OPEN WILL BE THE CLUB HOUSE WYOMING NEXT SATURDAY ALL ARE VANDERBECK GOOD FLOOR REFRESHME ing from bright sunshine to a twi- ght blue. The organ swung into the sonor- ous chords of “Onward, Christian Soldiers" and the marchers took up the words of the grand old hymn as they marched about. When the organist paused a secorid the crowd whistled for more and joined in another stanza. The demonstration for Coolidge was marked by its orderliness. Dem- onstrations for candidates in con- vention often result in considerable scramble and rough house but it was not so with the demonstration today. After “Onward, Christian Soldiers” had been sung with all its stanzas, the delegates began taking their places in thelr sections but the Old Hometown Club encouraged a new march. Women were conspicu- ous, in the procession. The organist swung to the “Bat- fle Hymn of the Republic.” ‘The cheering crowd got an inspiration out of that and soon the roof was ringing with “Glory, Glory, Halle- lujlah.” Governor Cox and Sena- tor Lodge, carrying thes Massachu- setts standard, marched around the haji with the other demonstrators. Then the singers, led by the or- gan, turned to “Marching Through Georgia.” During it all. the Wis- consin delegation sat siléhtly in its seats and a member of the South Dakota delegation standing on a chair folded his arms over the top of the state standard to keep passing delegations from seizing it awdy and taking it into the procession. Most all the delegates readily went back to their places, the state standards were restored to their po- sitions and the convention got ready for the business of hearing Dr, Burton's of the president sec- onded in some five minute speeches. No other nominations were of- fered when the chair called for them, neither the names of Senator LaFollette nor Senator Johnson be- ing presented. Mr ence C. Porter, of South Pasadena, Cal., came to the plat form to make the first seconding peech. Mrs. Porter, a motherly lady with white ! wore a lav ender gown and a black lace shawl thrown about her shoulders. She spoke clea and earnestly and Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence * Over Rheumatism a Mr. James Hi, Allen of Rochester, suffered Tor years with rheu- tism.

The next seconding speech was delivered by Isaac N. Meekins of North Carolina, smilingly. The convention. frequent- ly interrupted her with applause when she was declaring that ‘Cali- fornia stands loyally and solidly be- hind the Coolidge ticket.” ‘ Then Representative Madden of Tilinois took the platform and de lvered another seconding speech. Mr. Madden ran wel! oyer the five minutes and the convention, eagre to get along with the business, be- gan to call for him to end it. The demonstration was wholly friendly, however, and when former Gover- nor Stickney, of Vermont, came to make another seconding speech, there were cries of “No, No,” and “Time him,” and “Go ahead with the nominations.” Governor Stickney was brief and the convention showed its apprecia- tion by giving him a round of cheers, Judge Charles H. Carey, of Os- wego, Ore., was next recognized for another seconding speech. “After the brilliant speeches you have heard, you require no extended remarks from me,” he said, in be- ginning, and the convention to sig- nity its complote agreement cheered. Mrs. H. J. Grimstead, of Kansas, recognized next to deliver an- other speech seconding the presi- dents nomination. The convention had no difficulty in hearing Mrs. Grimstead. With a voice which for volume and clarity put to shame any other speaker heard in the convention she started the convention. Her “Mister Chafr- man” was old fashionéd and the convention came back with a roar of laughter and applause. Mrs. Grimstead got through in about two minutes and the grateful delegates showered her with ap- plause and cheers and a volunteer committee escorted her back to her seat among the Kansas delegates. ‘Then came Dr. George E. Cannon of New Jersey, He also had a sec- onding speech. Cannon is a negro Republican leader and although he had plenty of voice and vigor the of the other seconders but he got through with some interruptions by cutting his prepared speech in half.
