OHIO GOVERNOR
c. D. P. NOMINEE


Coliseum, Chicago, June ~
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
was nominated for the presidency
late today in the Republican national
convention on the tenth ballot, re-
ceiving a fraction over $40 votes.
In a dramatic session in which
Governor Lowden of Illinois released
all his friends and his delegates turn
ed to Harding in rapid succession,
the Harding landslide, which started
with o gentle movement early in the
morning, steadily and surely grew
and resisted all attempts of the
Wood and Lowden people to check if
they had a disposition to do so.
Immediately after Senator Hard
ing's nomination was fact, it was
decided to attempt to have a brief
recess on the floor, with the dele
gates remaining, SO a choice could be
decided on for second place and the
business of the convention ended to-
night.
Harding Awaits Decisive Vote.
N Senator Harding was in an ante
room near by 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 CIV
en- up the fight few minutes before
Mrs. Harding also was with him.
Colonel Proctor, General Woods
manager, and others visited Senator
Harding and Governor Lowden while
the convention was noisily making
history only short distance away.
When the result was communicat-
ed to him by Charles B. Warren of
Michigan, Senator Harding left for
his hotel with Mrs. Harding and an
nounced that he would have no state
ment to make at the time.
AS the tenth ballot proceeded
there came a landslide of changes in
votes, in which most OF the delega-
tions wanted to climb on the band
wagon and threw in their entire dele
cations for Harding.
Crowd Upon the Band Wagon.
Colorado changed to a solid Hard
ing vote, as did others, while efforts
were being made to make the nomis
nation unanimous by the usual mo-
ton.
Illinois changed sixteen OF the re-
naming seventeen to Harding
Washington, which had stood solid
for Poindexter, also changed to make
her vote unanimous for Harding
other states changed their votes.
It was just about this moment thai
Governor Sproul, in person, In his
seat on the floor, was casting sixteen
votes from Pennsylvania, which rar
Harding's total over ESQ and gave
him the nomination.
As the convention realized that {
nomination had been made bedlan
cut loose and there was an unre
strained demonstration for seyera
minutes.
Picking Out Running Mate.
When the convention proceeded
with the nomination for vice-presi
dent a member of the Kansas delega
tion got on a, chair and nominatei
Governor Allen for Ithe vice presi
dency.

Governor CooIidse's name was pre-
sented and seconded from North De

states. There was a great burst
enthusiasm for Coolidge, and dele
gates fairly fell over themselves lot

A Nesting Bird

EVERYDAY ADVENTURES. BY SAM

Company.
Did you ever get close enough to a
nesting bird to take photograph? II
you did, or If you didn't, just listen to
this:
Suddenly, right ahead of me l saw
the swinging basket nest Of vireo.
Climbing up on the wall to look
at 1t. I saw that the mother bird was
on the nest. Even when I took hold
of the limb she did not fly. Then i
slowly pulled the limb down, and still
the brave little bird stayed on her
nest. although several times she
started to her feet and. rufiiing her
feathers. made as If to fly. AS the
nest came nearer and nearer | could
see that she was quivering all over
with fear, and that her heart was
beating so rapidly as to shake her
tiny body. Finally as she came almost
within reach of my outstretchcd hand,
she gave me one long look and then
suddenly cuddled down over her dearly
loved eggs and hid her head inside
the nest. Reaching my hand out very
carefully, stroked her quivering
back. She raised her head and gave
me another long look, az II to make
sure whether l meant her any harm.
Evidently seemed friendly, for AZ I
stroked her head she turned and gave
my finger a little peck, then snusgled
her head up against 1t In the most
confiding. engaging way"
That Is the sort OF adventure Mr..
Scoville modestly calls everyday"
though Of course he makes no claim
to having them all as remarkable as
this one. Mostly he writes Of days
and nights spent in puttering about
the woods In search Of rare birds and
flowers. and naturally, he recounts the
tale of successful days ana ornits the
