Harding United States senator from Ohio, was nominated for the presidey:y yesterday by the republican national convention after a deadlock which lasted for nine ballots and which finally forced out of the running all the original fa- vorites. As his_running mate, named Governor Calvin Coolidge of AMasachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination of the Harding backers to sominate for the place Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. The collapse of the forces of Gov- smor Frank O. Lowden to Senator Harding put the Ohio candidate over. General Wood lost heavily, howeyer, when the Harding drift began, and the convention Benator Johnson, the third of the trio #f leaders on the early balloting yester- Also went steadily downhill .the convention four days ago the ground swell for Harding demon- strated that it could not be forestalled. Connectiout, when her name called, took thirteen of her fourteen votes from Lowden and gave them to Harding. In Florida he got seven from Wood and then Ken o Ky almost from the first a solil Lowuen state, flopped complete in- to the Harding column. Amid scenes of rising enthusiasm oth- er blocks of Lowden delegates followed suit while many of the routed Wood supporters also went into the Harding camp. By the end of the roll call, Sena- tor Harding had rolled up a total of 374, putting him far into the lead and several score of votes nearer the nomi- nation than any candidate had been be- fore. Towden at the end of the ninth had only 121 votes left out of the 307 with which he ended the eighth, and General Wood's strength had fallen from 299 on the eighth to 249 on the ninth. Johnson dropped from 87 to 82. As the tenth roll call began delegates quit Lowden, Wood and Johnson right and left and the big hall was in almost continuous applause as state after state announced accession to the Harding standard. It was reserved for Pennsyl- vania to add the crowning touch of en- thusiasm. When the Keystone state was reached the Ohio senator needed 32 votes to nominate him and Pennsylvania gave him 60, Sproul Announced Pennsylvania for Harding. It was Governor Sproul, himself the candidate of his state on every preceding ballot and mentioned many times as a possible dark horse to break the dead- lock, who announced the big Pennsylva- nia vote for Harding. Entering the Col seum floor for the first time since the balloting began, he made his way to the Pennsylvania standard, and, amid cheers released the delegation from longer sup- porting him. Then he took a poll, got the floor and threw in the winning Hard- ing votes. AT A demonstration of several minutes followed most of the delegates and spec- tators standing and cheering while a pro- cession carrying large pictures of the candidate and standards of some of the states that supported him took up its march around the hall. But it was too tired a_convention after a gruelling ex- citement of two sweltering days. of bal- loting, to long keep up such a demon- stration, Senator Lodge, presiding, rap- ped for order, and the delegates did not argue with him. When it was seen that a candidate had been nominated, the customary changing of votes Degan With a half dozen who had voted for column on the last ballot. Most of Illi- nois deserted its governor and many of the Wood men, too, asked to have their votes recorded for Harding. Harding Had 692 Suppoerters. The final check up showed 692 for Harding with only 12 left supporting Lowden, 157 for Wood and 80 for John- son. At their best, earlier in the day Wood people had mustered 312 votes and the Lowden forces 311. Johnson's high point was 148, recorded on the sec- ond ballot yesterday. A motion to make the nomination unanimous was passed in a great chorus of approval, but when opportunity was given for negative votes there were some “Noes” from Wisconsin, whose delega- tion throughout the day had voted amid hisses and catcalls almost solidly for Senator Robert M. LaFollette. Coolidge For Vice President. The plan to nominate Senator Lenroot for the vice presidency had the backing of many of the men who had helped put Harding over but the name of Governor Coolidge stirred the delegates and gal- leries to repeated cheering and he was swept into the second place on the ticket before the first roll call had gone two- thirds of its length. Again it was Penn- sylvania which furnished the winning votes, Governor Coolidge got 674 votes to 146 for Senator Lenroot and 68 for Governor Allen of Kansas. Several others got scattering support without being placed formaily in nomination, The result was greeted with another demonstration and there was renewed cheering a few min- utes later when the tired delegates were told that their work was done. It was early evening by the time adjournment was reached but before midnight hun- dreds had checked out and were on their way. HARDING'S IN NOMINATION 'AREER SKETCHED SPEECH Governor Frank B. Willis of Ohio, in presenting the name of U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding to the republican na- tional convention at Chicago Friday as a candidate for the presidential nomina- tion, thus sketched the career of Mr. Harding, who later was nominated by the Warren G. Harding has always been a resident of Ohio, which state he has rep- resented as United States senator since 1914. In private business life he is pub- lisher of the Marion, Ohio, Star. He was born on a farm. near the vil- lage of Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Ohio, Nov. 2. 1865, the eldest of eight children. His father, George T. Harding, was a country doctor whose. forbears came from Scotland. Before going to Ohio, the Hardings were residents of Pennsylyania, where some .of.them were massacred by Indians. Others fought in the Revoluti ry war. The mother of Warren, Mrs. Phoebe Dickerson, was de scended from an old-time Holland Dutch family, the Van Kirks In his youth Warren Harding lived the life of a farmer boy, attending the vil- lage school until 14 years of age, when he entered Ohio Central college of Iberia, from which he was graduated. As editor of the coilege paper he first displayed a talent for journalism. He was obliged to stop school now and then and earn the me with which to pursue his col- lege cou At one time he cut corn, at another painted barns and at still an- other drove a team and helved to grade the roadbed of a new railway.

The luck piece he has carried as @’ senator is the old printer rule he used when he was sticking type. In 1§84 Dr. Harding moved his family to Marion. A short time afterward the father purchased for Warren Harding the Star, then a small paper. On the paper Warren Harding performed every func- tion from devil to managing editor. In all the rs the senator has owned it there has never been a strike or a threatened one. enator Harding is closely identified ith many other large business enter- prises in Marion and other parts of the state. He is director of a bank and sev- [ wral large manufacturing plants and is a trustee of the Trinity Baptist church. Mr. Harding has twice represented the Thirteenth senatorial district of Ohio in | the state legislature and served one term us lieutenant governor.

CARLER OF COOLIDGE OUTLINED BY GILLETT IN NOMINATION Characterizing Governor Calvin Cool- idge of Massachusetts (who Saturday was chosen nomince for vice president) as a man who believes that obedience to law is liberty and that this is a government .Jof laws and not of men, Congressman Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts placed the name of the governor of his state in nomination for the presidency at the republican national- convention in Chicago Friday. Speaker Gillett told the republican dele- gates that the placing of such a man as Governor Coolidge in the presidential chair would clear the murky atmosphere of Washington like a bracing northern breeze. “He is as patient as Lincoln,” Congressman Gillett said, “silent as Grant, diplomatic as McKinley, with the political instinet of Roosevelt.” Congressman Gillett's speech follows: “A year ago hardly a man outside of New Englnad knew who was governor of Massachusetts. Today every fian and woman in this vast audience, every lover of ordered liberty in the United States, { knows and rejoices that the governor of 1 Massachusetts is Calvin Coolidge. “Opportunity—which knocks once at every man's door—came to him and found him waiting her summons, calm, courage- ous, resolute to do his duty though the heavens fall. And he did it so well, he met his great opportunity with so master- ful a spirit as to send a thrill of admira- tion through every community in the land and every honest man felt safer because there was such a governor as Coolidge. “Isn’t that the type of man you want for president today? Nominate him and you rally behind him that underlying devotion to our public security, that faith in our republican institutions which when once aroused is overpowering and irresist- ible. He is supported by no special class or interest, but he attracts all those who believe that ‘obedience to law is liberty,’ who Wish this to be ‘a government of laws Fight Brewing in the |Polish Forces Have | A.F. of L. Convention On Debate of Resolutions De- Montreal, June . 13.—Labor leaders predicted tonight that the first big fight on the floor of the convention of the American Federation of Labor, now in session here, would come upon the pres- entation for debate of resolutions de- manding recognition of the soviet gov- ernment of Russia and the lifting of the blockade against that country. The committee considering these reso- lutions, it was learned tonight, will rec- ommend that the convention ‘refuse to endorse the Soviet government or any other form of government” in Russia lil the people there have established “a truly democratic form of government.” The “progressives” headed by James Duncan of Seattle, are prepared to wage n Ditter fight on the floor for recogni- tion of the soviets. They will be sup- ported, he said, by the International La- dies’ Garment Workers of New York and several other international unions. One of the resolutions presented by the sarment workers asserts Russia has thrown off its “millenial oppression and the old czarist government, as well as the oligarchy of the capitalist class,” and asks the federation to request the United States government to officially recognize the Russian soviet as the “only true ex- n;’essicn of the will of the Russian peo- ple.” Mr. Duncan, in a resolution presented in behalf of the Seattle Central Labor Council asks that the government “exert its best inuflence to the end that Japan- ese and all other foreign troops be im- mediately withdrawn fyom the territory of the former Russian empire” and that the commercial blockade be lifted. One of the first matters to come before the delegates will be the executive coun- cil's report' which states that notwith- standing the needs of the masses of our country, cohgress failed to enact a_sin- gle constructive measure that would a in checking profiteering. Alexander Howatt, president of the ansas Mine Workers' organization, an- nounced tonight that he will fight for the adoption of his resolution condemning the ansas industrial court.

The granite hills seemed to have moulded Ris grave, indomitable character. Family self-denial gave him a college education at Amherst to broaden his native talents. Then he practiced law. But his neighbors soon recognized the value of this quiet, sagacions man, and drafted him into the public service, and he glided from one aseful station to an- other till he reached the hizhest office of our state. He is not showy or spectacular but he never disappoints.” The limelight attracts him less than tho midnight oil. No_audience ever fail to listen to his weighty sentences and when they go away they vote as he has talked. A poor man, living in the most frugal simplicity, fie always had the confidence and support of the working peonle, yet rich and poor are to him alike equal before the law. He never ‘crooks the pregnant hinges of the knee' before pretentious power, nor stiffens his neck- in pride before lowly weakness ; but he holds the even tenor of his upright way, following his polestar of duty. “Would it not be a restful change to see such a man in the White House to- day? His straightforward personality would clear the murky atmosphere ot Washington like a bracing northern breeze. - We have heen fed long enough on glittering rhetoric and extravagant novelties and rainbow-tinted dreams. We need an era of hard _sense and old free- dom. We need to reifivigorate the homely orderly virtues which have made America. great. “Do you demand for your candidate a man of natize ability? Take him who, an unknown country lawyer, won the confi- dence of the legislature in his first term, Do you want a profound political thinker? Take the author of that inspiring volume, ‘Have Faith in Massachusetts’ Do you want courage? Take the governor who just before an election sent the dauntless message: ‘There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody any- where any time’ Do you want a win- ner? Take the man who has never con- cealed his convictions, who has never lowered his standards and who has never known defeat. “I have not a word of depreciation for the splendid men whose names have been put in nomination. I can follow any one of these veterans with enthusiasm and confidence. But it is to the glory of the republican party that there constantly emerge from the ranks young men to bear forward our banner to new glory. Such a man, as our governor. He is pa- tient as Lincoln, silent as Grant, diplo- matic as McKinley, with the political in- stinct of Roosevelt. His character is as firm as the mountains of his native state. Like them his head is above the clouds and he stands unshaken amid the tumult and the storm.” —_— COOLIDGE BESIEGED WITH CALLERS AND CONGRATULATIONS Boston, June 13.—The plans of Gover- nor Coolidge, republican vice presidential nominee, to go to Amherst for the open- ing of the commencement week of his alma mater, and then to his home in Northampton, were changed today upon receipt of a telegram from tile Massachu- setts delegates saying they would arrive here tomorrow afternoon and parade to the statehouse. The governor detded to remain in Boston to receive them, after which he will journey to his home. Governor Coolidge, as he was greeted by newspaper, men this morning, made a whimsical complaint of a statement pub- lished in a local newspaper that he paid $35 a month rent for his half-house in Northampton, whereas he actually pays $32. He said that if the landlord should happen to see the story the rent might be raised to correspond, and this, the gover- nor declared, he did not want to happen. During the day the governor was be- sieged with callers who came to extend their congratulations on his nomination. His secretary, Henry F. Long. continually “rought him telegrams from a host of [riends and prominent republicans. Willigm H. Taft in his message to the nominee said: “I congratulate you most heartily and Evacuated Kiev Are to Renew Attack Upon the Arrival of Reinforce- ments Now Coming Up— Retreat Was Orderly. . ‘Warsaw, June 9 (By the A. P.).—The evacuation of Kiev has been completed, the Poles withdrawing to the region of Zhitomir. The American Red Cross workers, according to latest accounts, had made preparations to evacuate Kiev with the army. News of the evacuation of Kiev reached ‘Warsaw Saturday night, which was the first report from Kiev in several days. Just prior to the cutting off of eommuni- cation by the bolsheviki, General Rydz- migly, the commander at Kiey, sent a deSpatch that he would make a stand un- less otherwise ordered. With difficulty the Poles got through a personal order from General Pilsudski, the commander- in-chief, to the Kiev commander to evac- uate immediately. General Budenny, the Russian com- mander, who fought against Denikine, is bringing up reinforcements, the des- patches say, but the military authorities assert that the fight for Kiev is not yet ended by any means. TO PROTEST DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY BY POLES London, June 13.—The workers of the world are appealed to by the Russian of- ficial Vestnik News agency to protest against property destruction by the Poles at Kiev and Borisov, says a wireless message received from Moscow. The re- sponsibility for this damage, asserts the appeal, must be shared by the British and French governments. It declares the de- struction of the Vladimir cathedral a more barbarous act than the destruction of Rheims cathedral by the Geermans. “The patience of the world's. proletari- ats.” continues the statement, “must sure- 1y be exhausted by these barbarities. The Folish rentile must be made harmless. We must abolish the barbarous rule of the land owners and capitalists by means of fraternal co-operation with the Polish workers.” 193 KILLED IN EXPLOSIOX OF DYNAMITE DEPOT IN HUNGARY Berlin, June 12.—One hundred and ninety-three miners are believed to have been killed by the explosion of a dyna- mite depot at Anina, the great Hungar- ian coal and iron mining center 55 m§ s southeast of Temesvar, according to a despatch from ‘the latter city today. Thirty-six others were seriously injured. One hundred and seventy-three bodies have been recovered. The dynamite ex- ploded just as the miners were leaving a shaft, TWO MEN KILLED WHEN DOOR OF TRAIN SLID OPEN . New..

He is mot en- thusiastic over any particular sport and finds most of his recreation in walking. In the evening he and Mrs. Coolidge attend- ed church services. Governor Coolidge talked over the tele- phone today to his two boys, John and Calvin, Jr., who are at Northampton. They said they were pleased with their father’s nomination, but considered it a matter of course. After receiving the Massachusetts dele- gates tomorrow afternoon, the governor will go to Springfield to join his Am- herst classmates of 1895 at a dinner in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their graduation. On Tuesday he will attend commencement week exercises at Ambherst and on Wednesday he will pre- sent the diplomas to the graduating class of Holy Cross college, at Worcester.

Paris, June 13.—Essad Pasha, head of the Albanian delegation in Paris, and former provisional president of Albania, was assassinated here today. Three shots were fired at him by an Albanian student, two of which took effect. Essad Pasha was emerging from the Hotel Continental in the RueCastigli- one when he was suddenly confronted by a young man who later -gave his name as Rustem Aveni and said he was an Albanian student. Without uttering a word Rustem fired two shots which struck Essad Pasha in the chest and another which went wild. Essad sank to the ground. He was picked up and taken to his bedroom where he died shortly afterwards. The assassin was arrested by a walt- er. He told the police he arrived in Patis on May 31 and declared the crime was not premeditated.

Regarded by =zl the European govern- ments in 1913 merely as an dutlaw, three years later he was recognized by these same powers as provisional president and minister of war of Albania, following the downfall of Prince William or Wied. Essad's selection as president of Al- pania was in reward for his services to the Allies early in the war in the fight- ing against Austria. At one time Essad was commandant of gendarmes at Constantinople. His brother having been killed by order of Sultan Abdule Hamid, Essad concieved a hatred of the sultan which Jed him, when the Turkish parliament in 1909 decided upon the deposition of Abdul to Washington, J: Senator Harding of Ohio, publican president what authority der was merce act. based on the mines. tial to the railroads as Belgrade by which Essad would use his influence in Albania in favor of Jugo- Siavia.
