Notc-Mechanical exiocncies OF the
present time, require that this review
be written by Friday noon. Important
phases Of the Republican national con-
vention, notably the nominations for
president and vice president, not hav-
inc yet occurred, they are reserved for
treatment In the general news or In
6peelal articles.

fected in the Republican convention
Thursday night without any OF the
fireworks which had been predicted
and anticipated. The pyrotechnics oc-
CURED In the committee which framed
the platform and did not reach the
public nor the great body of delegates
excepting through the press. The
League Of Nations plank was the great
exciting cause and the difficulty was
TO so frame 1t as to save the faces Of
the Republican senator's who had taken
such varying attitudes on the question
ever since President Wilson brought
the peace treaty and the league cove
nant back from Europe. The result
was accomplished in a very adroit
compromise which abuses the admin
istratl0n as un-American In its stub
born insistence upon the league as
framed In Europe. pats on the back all
elements whether reservationists. mild

To many this must look like an in
dorsement of the principle Of League
OF Nations although nothing is said
about mandates nor the duty of Amer
lea to take part in foreign embroil-
ments. On the other hand the plank
specifically states that the United
States shall have the right to deter.

An unique feature Of the convention
was the maverick character of
the delegations. Never. at least
in recent times, has such an as
semblage Of unbossed and I'M
branded individuals come together
for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for president. Many old-timers
who had taken an active part in for
mer occasions of the kind. were forced
into back seats or were passive on
lockers from the side lines. New faces
aud younger men were everywhere in
evidence. Probably a larger proper
tlon than ever before were unacquaint-
ed with the game Of politics. This fact
prevented the huge body from getting
into customary grooves and made the

Former Senator Flint of California,

the nomination of Harding unanimous,
and, seconded by Congressman Frank
L. Smith of Illinois, on behalf of Low
den, it was adopted over the protests
Of "a La Toilette delegates from Wis

Borah, johnson Silent.
On the question of supporting the
ticket Senator Borah was noncommit-
tai last night. Senator johnson de-
clined to reveal his attitude until he
had conferred with the members of the
California delegation. He held the con-
ference and is still noncommittal. But
it was generally assumed that he
would not repudiate the assurances he
gave during the primary campaign
that he would not bolt the ticket.

Traditions Are Shattered.
Traditions were shattered in the
choice of Harding. Harding started as
one Of the leading contenders for the
nomination months ago, but he partici-
pated in only two primaries-Ohioa and
Indiana-and was widely regarded as
having been eliminated by his failure
to capture the solid delegation of his
fourth in Indiana.
Senator Harding came to Chicago 9
week ago with no better prospect Of
consideration than that of a "darh
horse" But fate was working secret
ly in his favor.

appears to have pulled through by a
small majority the coalition govern

the right and left opposition that par

Women will from now on have an
equal voice with men in planning and
managing Republican campaigns. This
Is assured through the adoption by
the convention of the report Of the
committee on rules, the chief recon-
mendation Of which was that the
executive committee shall have a men,
bership Of fifteen instead of ten as
heretofore. The makeup of the COM
mittee will be seven men, seven wom-
en- and the chairman. In addition the
committee will have a woman vice
chairman, ranking next In dignity to
the chairman. There will also be an
assistant secretary who will be a
woman. The women of the majority
got everything they asked for from the
convention Notwithstanding the fact
that strong delegation Of their sex
who are opposed to suffrage was Oh
hand. These latter were disappointed.

Ohio Senator Wins Nomination
for President on Tenth
Ballot.
BAY STATE MAN ON The FIRST
General Wood Goes Down Fighting
for the Honor, but LoWden Near
End Helps Ohioan Get 674 Votes
-Massachusetts Governor Re.
ceives Same Number.

Chicago, June 14.-Warren G. Hard
was nominated for president and Cal
vim Coolidge, governor of Massachu-
sets, was named for vice president
by the Republican national convention.
The choice of Senator Harding was
effected on the tenth ballot of the con-
vention. The impossibility of nominat-
ing either General Wood or Governor
Lowden had been demonstrated.
General Wood went down fighting
desperately to the last, but over
whelmed by the coalition of all his op-
ponents under the Harding banner.
Governor Lowden, though he had
forged ahead of Wood at the morning
session, found his strength, like that of
the general, receding, and, realizing
that his continuance in the contest
would only prolong the deadlock, re-
leased his delegates, most of whom
went to Harding and accomplished his
nomination.
Michigan Makes II Sure.
The nomination of Harding was
made certainty when Michigan gave
him "a votes. On the ninth ballot he
was 1181a votes short of the majority
Of 493. On the tenth ballot his gains
totaled 129 by the time Michigan had
swung into line and his nomination
was assured even If no further gains
were made from the states yet to vote
Harding would have been nominated
even without a single delegate from
Pennsylvania, which had not voted fol
him up to this time, but the Pennsyl
vanians saw the bandwagon coming
and determined to Chamber aboard
without further delay. Pennsylvania
swung 60 votes to Harding at 6:14 p
M, making the total for the candidate
at that time $40, and the ensuing pan
demonium heralded his nomination a.
| an accomplished fact.
