teamwork between these deiega- tions behind Lowden was remark able up to that time
 During the night and early morn ing, workers from the Wood camp had pleaded with a number of the Connecticut delegates to switch to the general. They were told that it would have a great psychological effect on the convention if some of the Connecticut votes, coming so early in the roll, went over to Wood. On the third ballot of the morning, Senator Arthur E. Bowers. of Man chester broke away from the dele gation and voted for Wood, making the states ballot twelve for Lowden and one each for Wood and Johnson.
 The states Lowden vote was cut down by one more on the next bal lot when States Attorney High M. .Alcorn of Suffield, switched his vote to Governor Coolidge of Massa- chusetts. Senator Bowers stood by Wood and King by Johnson. This made Connecticut's stand on the eighth ballot; Lowden eleven, Wood one, Coolidge one, Johnson one. The delegation voted against the motion to recess until 4 o'clock after the eighth ballot.
 During the greater part of the morning session, Wilson s. Reynolds Of. Middletown, occupied the seat of delegate William H. Hall, Willing ton. Up to that time the only alter nate who voted in the balloting for the Presidential candidate was Fred erick M. Salmon of Westport, whose vote on the first ballot made the Connecticut delegation solid for Lowden.
 Connecticut Starts Landslide
 It remained for Connecticut to create the opening sensation Of the afternoon session. For nearly an hour before the convention was called to order, the galleries had been clamoring for the nomination of Harding to break the deadlock, but when the calling of the roll was resumed for the ninth ballot, the

FIRST RADIoPHoNE MESSAGE
Is Received By James Lyles on
 Tuesday Evening

On the night of June 15, the first radioplane message ever received in Canaan was heard at the Radio Sta ton of James Lyles. At about S:45 D. m. while Fastening in" on his wireless James suddenly heard man talking. After adjusting his set the mans voice came in fairly loud but was blurred, and because of the interference of other radio telegraph stations, what the man said could not be ascertained.
 Evidently a test was being con- ducted because a warning was sent out before each message by radio telegraphy and reports from sta tions receiving the voice were sent in after it. In all probability the message was sent from the vicinity Of New York.
 The interference was so great that while receiving the message sometimes five. other stations were sending on nearly the same wave length, which was around 700 meters
 The tests are apparently being carried on every, evening.

responses from the first five states gave little encouragement in that di- rection. Alabama made no change from the previous ballot. The dap per little spokesman of the Arizona delegation announced that his state would refuse to budge from Wood, Ar kansas contributed an additional vote to Harding and Colorado tack ed on two more after California had remained to Johnson. It looked as though the gains that had been claimed for Harding during the re- cess had been much, exaggerated The Harding rooters and those who had been hoping that the Ohio man would be compromised upon were beginning to be disappointed. Then Connecticut was called.
 Pandemonium Breaks Loose
 "Connecticut gives one to John son and thirteen to Warren G. Harding, rang out the voice of Chairman Roraback in the tense atmosphere of the coliseum. Pan demonium broke loose before Roraback had ended his sentence. Ohio delegates, seizing a great Harding poster marched down the aisle in front of the Connecticut delegation amid wild cheering and applause.
 Connecticut, by grouping thir- teen of it's fourteen votes, had start ed landslide to Harding. The single Johnson vote that broke the unanimity of the states vote was cast by John T. King.
 Then came an avalanche of Hard ing votes from Kentucky, Louisi- ana, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin, not to mention those which had supported him steadfastly from the start.
 Myron T. Herrick, ex-governor of Ohio and former ambassador to France, walked over to the Connec- ticut section and extended a hearty handshake to Chairman Roraback.
 Harding got the same number from Connecticut on the tenth and final ballot, King remaining with Johnson.
 Roraback Seconds Coolidge
 When nominations for vice president were called for, Chairman Roraback, on behalf of the major icy of Connecticut delegates, sec onded the nomination of Governor Coolidge. King was absent when the delegation decided it's vote on the vice-presidency. All the other delegates were for Coolidge and were so announced.
 Appreciating the fact that J. Henry Roraback as chairman of the delegation from this state, started the landslide resulting in Harding's nomination, the editor sought an interview to ascertain his personal opinion regarding the candidate. After stating that the News was the flst to get such an interview, sought by many other papers, MT. Raraback gave out the following fer publication:

Little old Connecticut led in the oped into the landslide which gave the nomination for President to the Ohio statesman Saturday. Connec- ticut's chance to play its part in nominating the next President, in accordance with the slogan announc- ed by Chairman J. Henry Roraback of the Nutmeg delegation on the way West, came when the ninth ballot was ordered after the recess, Five states-Alabama, Arizona, Ar kansas, California and Colorado had voted and a grand total of one for Harding was the result of the changes. And then came Connecti- cuts chance and bedlam broke loose when the Nutmeg State started things for the Ohio candidate, Chairman Roraback announcing that Connecticut cast thirteen of her fourteen votes for Warren G. Hard ing and one for Hiram Johnson. Nobody worried about the Johnson vote and John T. King, who cast it, was forgotten in the pandemonium which followed. The Harding march to the White House had begun, Con- necticut had led it and there were plenty of other states to follow the lead of the little corner of New England.
 When Balloting Began
 On the first ballot Saturday, the fifth ballot in the National Republi- can convention for the presidential nominations, Connecticut held the Lowden lines as they stood at the end of Fridays balloting, that is Lowden thirteen; Johnson one; the Johnson vote came from John T. King.
 When the figures of the first bal lot of the day-the fifth of the con- vention-were announced showing that Lowden had gone over the 300 mark and overtaken Wood, all the Connecticut delegates except King jumped to their feet and cheered, simultaneously with the Illinois and other Lowden delegations.
