Columbus, o., July 27.-Warren G.
Harding, former Observation-Disclosures,
was nominated for Governor by the
Ohio Republicans this afternoon ON
the third ballot, receiving 748 votes to
100 for Judge o. d. Brown md 105 for
Representative LOngwDrth. When Cox,
of Hamilton county. perceived move-
ment by the administrations men to
find n dark horse In -LOngworth, he
switched his entire delegation from
Brown to Harding to Iefent the mOve-
ment.
With candidate for Governor who
was nominated by acclamation OF
Regulars and Progressives. and
platform pronounced good by the for
mer element. and 80 per cent. good
by the latter section of the party. the
Ohio Republican Convention broke up
and went home to-day In state OF
much contentment.
The ticket is made up as follows:
For Governor, Warren G. Harding.
of Marion.
For Lieutenant-G Governor. Francis
w. Treadway, of Cleveland.
For Secretary of State. Granville w.
| Mooney. of Austtnburg.
man. of Toledo.
For Treasurer of State. Rudy Archer.
of Belmont county.
Effort to Stampede Conventions.

| Longworth. and George Cox's every
effort In behalf of Judge o. B. Brown,
| OF Dayton. a combination of Progress
| siyes,' the national administration
men broke up the fight on the third
ballot Then Cox. yielding to the IN
evitable. cast the ninety-one Hamilton
votes for Harding. and that finished
It. The continuation of the roll call
was a Joke. The withdrawal of James
r. Garfield and Carmi A. Thompson
before the beginning OF the vote
brought about a Garfield administra-
tion combination that twenty-four
hours ago would have seemed to the
delegates impossible. All the Garfield
votes, outside the Cuyahoga delega-
ton. and few that clung to the un-
developed candidacy of the former
Secretary of the Interior. were cast
for Harding.
Walter Brown. of Toledo. and Wade
II. Ellis. state chairman. were infiu-
entail in lining up the other dele
gates for the Marion man.
The understanding that the Presi-
dent was not satisfied by the candi-s
dacy of Judge Brown did the rest.
