Continued from first page.

asm, when Cox voted Hamilton County
solid for Harding and nominated him.
Cox tonight explained his reason for
nominating Harding. He said Burton
had one month ago formed a compact
with him by which the Senator was to
to Brown on the second ballot, and thus
nominate him, but that Burton had gone
back on his word and entered the deal
to nominate Longwortil. A clause in the
compact was that Burton could name
the rest of the ticket and have the vote
of Hamilton County for all Of his candi-
d-.tes. Mr.. Harlings nomination will be
cheerfully received by President Taft.
While the ninety-six Cuyahoga Coun-
ty (Cleveland) delegates stood and
yelled for the nomination of Congress
man Longworth, Mrs. Longworth. in

thusasm when the Harding avalanche

Warren G. Harding, the nominee for
Governor. was at various times in the
preliminary squabbles of the convention
described as "everybody's second choice.
Until day 1t had appeared beyond
reasonable expectation that the conVen-
tion could arrive at the consideration OF
any second choices without long anu
bitter struggle. George 3. Cox, or C1h-
cinnati had declared that he would stay
with .Judse Oren Z. Brown, OF Dayton,
to the thirtieth ballot if necessary; the
Progressives were refusing to consider
anybody but James r. Garfield, who was
not however, an announced candidate,
and the men ordinarily identified with
the national administration side and
state politics We're supposed to be hope
lesslv divided between Carmi Thompson.
Secretary of State, and Mr.. Harding.
Harding's stand on the liquor question
is much discussed tonight, as it is gen
orally admitted by the party leaders
that he will have to run on a liberal
platform to win. Harding in his Marion
newspaper supported the local option
bill on the ground that it was in the in
terest Of his constituents. He owns
stock in brewery. He was strong
Foraker man until the attempt was
made to break the slate of Ohio dele
gates to the last national convention,
when he repudia ted Foraker.
None Of the leaders interested COM
nitted themselves to any. statements as
to the outlook, Mr. Garfield saying that
he would defer any remarks he might
have to make until he got to Cleve-
land, and the other leaders indicating
that four almost sleepless nights Of
work and worry prevented them from
thinking up anything appropriate to
say at once
