Senator Harding was in an ante
room nearby while the convention
was casting the ballots which made
him the republican nominee. For
some of the time he chatted there
with Governor Lowden, who had
given up the fight few minutes be-
fore. Mrs. Harding was with him.

seat on the floor was casting 6C

him the nomination.
As the convention realized that a
nominee had been made, bedlam

Then came landslide of changes
in votes in which most of the dele

wagon, and threw in their entire
delegations for Harding.
While the balloting for vice presi-
