Dental nominee by the Republican ma
tional convention Saturday night, said
no time would be lost in getting things

rector of Senator Harding s pre- con
vention campaign, requested the ma
tional committee to take prompt,
snappy and energetic action in piac-
ing the merits of the Republican issues
before the voters of the country. Party
managers, it was said, may not wait
until Senator Harding and Governor
Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, are
officially notified of their nomination,
but plan to start the campaign soon

held
