HARDING NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS Governor Coolidge of Massa- chusetts Named As His Running Mate. Chicago.—Warren G. Harding, Uni ted States senator from Ohio, was) nominated for the presidency Satur day by the republican national conven tion on the tenth ballot, after a dead lock which had lasted for nine ballots As his running mate, the convention named Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination of the Harding backers to nominate for the place Senator | Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin, Cool idge was nominated by Wallace Mc- Camant, Oregon. Harding Was Dark Horse. Entering the convention as a candi- | distinctly of the “dark horse” Senater Harding got only 64 votes on the first ballot and on the second he dropped to 56. When the convention adjourned Friday night at the end of the fourth ballot he had 61. In all night conferences among the Party chiefs, however, he was men- tioned many times as the most likely to break the nomination deadlock should neither Wood, Lowden nor Johnson take a commanding lead Sat urday. They failed to do so, Wood end Lowden running a neck-and-neck race for leadership on four ballots, while the strength of the California candidate dwindled steadily. Meantime Harding pushed his total | to 133, individual delegates from many states swinging to him from the} columns of the leaders and of various | | headed by Senator Lodge as chairman favorite sons. ‘The Johuson managers, fearing a landslide was impending, then made a last play to save the WARREN G. HARDING Who Received the Republican Nomina- tion for President at Chicago. fortunes of their candidate. They mov- ed to recess for a couple of hours in order to take an inventory and seek | a new combination. The Wood and Lowden forces, both virtually at the peak of their strength but dishearten- ed at the long string of ballots without material gains, fell in with the recess plan and the convention adopted it. Succession of Conferences Held. In the dramatic succession of con- ferences that followed, the fate of the candidates virtually was sealed. Some | of the Weod and Lowden managers tried ineffectually for an agreement which would hold their delegates in Mine and kill off the Harding boom Some tried to get a Wood-Lowden Johnson agreement to adjourn till Mon- | day without making a nomination, It was the parleys between the Hard- ing and Lowden men, however, which apparently bore the most fruit when the balloting began again, for Gover- nor Lowden came to the convention during the ninth rollcall and, revers ing a previous plan to go before the convention itself, issued instructions from behind the scenes releasing his instructed delegates. Almost as soon as the alphabetical call of states began after the recess the ground swell for Harding demon. strated that it could not be fore- stalled. Connecticut, when her name was called, took 13 of her 14 votes from Lowden and gave them to Har ding. Delegates Flock to Harding. Amid scenes of rising enthusiasm other blocks of Lowden delegates fol- lowed suit, while many of the routed Wood supporters also went into the Harding camp. By the end of the rolicall Senator Harding had rolled up o total of 374, putting him far into the lead, and several score of votes nearer the neminetion than any can- didate had been before. Lowden at the end of the ninth had only 121 votes left out of the 307 with which he ended the eighth, and General Wocd's strength had fallen from 299 on the eighth to 249 on the ninth. Johnson dropped from 87 to 82. As the 10th rolicall began delegates quit Lowden, Wood and Johnson right and left, and the big hall was in al- most continuous applause as state @fver state announced accession to she | ‘The result was | Haraing standard. It was reserved | for Pennsylvania to add the crowning touch of enthusiasm. When the key stone state was reached the Ohio senator needed to nominate him and Pennsylvania gave him 60. It was Gcvernor Sproul himself, the can- didate of his state on every preceding ballot and mentioned many times aga possible dark horse to break the dead | lock, who announced the big Pennsy) nian vote for Harding. Entering the | Coliseum fioor for the first time | since the balloting began, he made his way to the Pennsylvania standard and amid cheers released the dele; Abe from longer supporting him. Then he took a poll, got the floor and threw in the winning Harding votes Final Ballot Gives Harding 692. The final check-up shcwed 692 for Harding, with only 12 left supporting Lowden, 157 for Wood and 80 for John son. At their best, earlier in the day the Wood people had mustered 312 votes and the Lowden forces $11.
