PARIS, June 14.—-Edouard Herriot, leader of the radi- cal party and head of the Left bloe, victorious in the recent parliamehtary elec- tions, foday accepted the invitation of President Doumergue to become premier and to form a ministry. The usual conferences between President Doumergue and the heads of the senate and chamber of deputies were follawed immediately by the: summoning of M. Herriot, who aceepted the invitation he re- fused at the hands of former Presi- dent Millerand. He has been work- ing on ministry during the presi- dential fight. Confidence in M. Doumergue was the keynote of the morning press comment, even in those newspapers which, opposed his election. One passage from his speech, delivered after he was invested with power at Versailles yesterday was quoted in almost every article, “The national assembly,” he said, “can be assured that no one Will show more respect for the constitu- tion than I, that no one more than I will remain above parties to bean impartialoarbitrator between them, and that no one more than I will 4 # » EDUARD HERRIOT. draw: inspiration from the will of parlament. which is the expression of national sovereignty.” Edouard Herriot, first came into public notice as mayor of Lyons, He was elected a senator from the department of the Rhone in 1913 when he was but a few months over the minimum age limit of forty.

But if the welcomers had been confused over the arrival of the general's train, the nominee him- self was not, seemed a bit amused, not one whit disappointed and smiled over it and kept smiling. ‘What the welcome lacked in noise and enthusiasm at the raflroad sta- tion was amply compensated for at the general's bank where thousands of persons gathered in the streets. packing them from curb to. curb and shouting and cheering and applaud- ing with much vigor that the echoes rolled and echoed down the sky- scraper Jined streets of the financial district.

SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune.) CLEVELAND, O., June 14.—An unusual gathering in many respects, this Repub- lican national convention of 1924 has gone down in history as the first one ever to nominate two.separate and distinct candidates for the vice presidency on two suc- cessive ballots. The convention went on the theory that if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. When they were nominating Mr. Lowden at the afternoon session, the bands had been playing “Your lips say no, no; but ‘there's yes, yes, in your eyes." But the former Governor of Illinois wouldn't have it that way. He prov- ed that when he said no, he meant it. The convention as warned. in. advance of t fact, but someone told the delegates that Theodore Roosevelt back in 1900 had said” no, no,” and then consented, so every- ong was convinced Frank O. Lowden would do the same thing. It was a stunning blow ‘when he said he would not, Now the band played “What'l I what'll I do?” and the delegates shook their heads. They didn't know.

Them a chance to orlent themselves and the nomination of General Dawes followed in record time. There have been a number of oc- casions when it has been necessary to replace vice presidential candi dates in the past, but that always has beso dong by a national com- mittee or by an otherwise authoriz- ed group of party leaders. Former Governor Lowden was the first vice presidential nominee to “bust” right in the face of a con- vention. Even when Charlie Dawes had been nominated on the third ballot, the conventior@decided to take no more chance with withdrawals. They passed a resolution authoriz- ing the national committee to fill any vacancy which might occur on the ticket, or to cull a new national convention of fill such a‘ vacanc The ‘number of delegates ventured the opinion from the first that “Hell and Maria” would not decline, but the convention as a whole decided to take no more chances. A number of _ parliamentarians Were worried as to Just how the con vention was going to rescind its action in nominating Governor Low den on the second ballot. For the time being, he was officially the nominee of the party and something radica? had to be done in a conserva tive convention to get rid of him. Some of the olf timers thought it would be necessary to have a mo tion to reconsider the vote on the second ballot. In the end, the solution was rather a simple one. It was moved that the declination of Mr. Lowden be accepted, This was done by unani mous vote. Then without further ado the roll of the states was called once more and what promised at first to be a real fight between Mr, Lowden and Secretary Hoover, turned out to be an overwhelming vote for the ger 1 banker from Illinois.

Every man who placed a vice presidential aspirant before the convention an- nounced in stentorian tons that his particular state was doubtful terri- tory and a real battle ground this fall. This included Indiana, Mis- |sourl, Nebraska, Iowa and T¥nols. Perhaps the Republi leaders will change their mind the cam paign is actually under way, but in the meantime the Democrats will be glad to hear the good tidings. once The inevitable statistician attend ed the nominating sessions of the convention and, after total‘ing up the day's proceedings, he found that in the, nomination of President Cool- idge and in the elght seconding speeches delivered in his behalf, the adjective “frugal” outdistanced all rivals by a wide margin.
