D. LOWELL MELLErT.

Chicago, June 12,-The Coliseum
tried its hand at naming candi-
date yesterday and after four at
tempts laid of to take a rest. Last
night the Blackstone Hotel took
over the Job and the first ballot to-
day was expected to show whether
II was hotel Job or q convention
hall job. The hotels. system is
good deal different from that OF
the convention hall.
At the Coliseum the process con-

States favorite son in an impas-
stoned speech defending Abraham
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
while at the same time explaining
that this particular F. 8. is the only
Republican who can carry Ken
lucky and Tennessee. q zone such
orator even went so far as to prom
ise Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas
Virginia and certain provinces Of
Texas. but most of them confined
their offerings to the two states
first named.)
Then the carefully arranged
spontaneous demonstrations began,
partisans in the galleries joining
to make all the noise they can.
Forty minutes is the mark aimed
at this year. Yesterday Wood
forces. through a mistake of the
timekeeper, ended at thirty-efght
minutes. Lowden's men and women
ran three minutes overtime-trying
to collect time and a half pay, ac-
cording to one cynic-while John
] SON workers fell twelve minutes
7 short of the mark. The less adver-
/ tised candidates friends contented
themselves with briefer outbreaks
of their uncomfortable feelings.

| vealing that nobody was likely to
be nominated that day by the con-
| vention hall process and adjourn

| somehow manages to keep aus
terely correct despite the seething
feelings of it's guests. little groups
| of men gathered in the rooms of the
| candidates and the managers and
! went to work. Their work was
largely mathematical.
II you take 1s5 votes from Wood
and 203 from Lowden, add Hardings
SO and then there will remain only
Sc to get. (These figures aren't
\ real; they're intended merely to
/ give you the idea)
So a runner is dispatched to meet
three or four State teheadquarters to see
whether, after a certain number of
ballots the delegates for those States
are willing to vote a few times for
| Harding.
] Meantime another group has been
working with an entirely different
set of figures which revealed by
lining up two large States, one me-
dunn sized and three small ones,
Governor Sproul will have the re-
quired 493.
Sooner or later these groups and
others find themselves working at
loggerheads and by the dawning OF
the day they have elaborated their
mathematical problem to include
each of them. Well. you can do
anything with figures and the men
meeting at the Blackstone are
among the most skillful.

PEACE COSTS
CAPITAL71,226
Mercantile Agency An
nounces Population Loss
Since Amistice.

Return of Washington from war
time to a peace basis has meant a
loss in population of 71.226 since
November IL. 1918. the date of the
signing of the armistice. according
to a report issued last night by
Stones Mercantile Agency of this
city.
The loss in population, however.
must not be construed to mean that
the city is becoming unpopular. The
Official census of 1910 gave Wash
ington a population of 331.oss. The
1920 census figures for the city are
437.S71. 1t was estimated that 500,-
900 persons lived here at the time
the armistice was signed.
An abundance of vacant rooms
and lack of unoccupied houses is
regarded in the report to mean that
the lost population was of an un-
stable character. and not of the
character that goes to make up the
basic population of a city.

longed, little old man with a white

looks like a dumben.
II the galleries like Lowden best,
La Toilette Is the one they most dis
like. Every time the Wisconsin
spokesman chants: .'Twenty-four
votes for Robert NJ. La Toilette" the
spectators loose storm of disap-
proval. Kisses, boos and catcalls.
So IL goes, while somewhere near
Chicago the men whose future is
being decided in the Coliseum
watch and wait for the verdict.
The liquor supply seems to be
more abundant as the convention
drags on and the delegates drag
wearily around. More happy
drunks" were in the lobbies last
night than at any time since the
convention opened.
Bill Bryan stood up to the bar
in the Coliseum yesterday--prob
ably for the first time in his life
and asked for drink. Yes. grape
juice. But there was a crowd anu
the lone barkeep was too busy to
wait on him and thus become IA
nous as the only cne Of his race
now fast becoming extinct - to
shove a goblet to Bryan over the
mahogany.
Included in the committee OF
Michigan delegates that called upon
Senator johnson early today to in
form him that the delegation would
"boltr him was Mrs. Orrin Bolt, of
Muskegon, an alternate.
Most of the State standards were
awry as a result of having been
twisted and jerked from their posi-
tions during yesterdays demonstra-
tions.
There was a tenseness in the at
mosphere as delegates and specta-
tors swarmed into the Coliseum

in Harding's dust. Sproul. Butler.

The rest were nowhere as soon
as Illinois and Iowa had swung
around to Harding, the latter in a
body. When Ohio went solidly for
the Senator the shouting was al
ready on ice. After that everybody
fell in line. All but one. Wisconsin,

through the Coliseum.
There were few present who now
did not feel that victory was about
to perch upon his banner. There
were doubts only as to whether the
pace for him could be forced before
the midday adjournment, or wheth-
er his interests would be better
served by waiting for the after
noon session. As to the ultimate
outcome opinion was well-nigh
universal. The doom Of Wood and
Lowden became merely a matter of
hours.
Opposition Caves In.
With the eight ballot the elabo-
rately constructed and stubbornly
maintained fortifcations of the
Wood and Lowden camps began to
cave in. The result of the ballot
gave Wood, 299; Lowden. 307, and
Harding, the child of destiny. 1887.
