Large Part of Governor Lowden's
Support Swings To Senator Hard
ing On Last BalIot-Gov. Cool
Idge Is Running Mate.

Chicago. = Warren G. Harding,
United States senator from Ohio, was
nominated for the presidency by the
Republican national convention after
deadlock which lasted for nine bal
lots and which finally on the tenth
ballot forced out of the running all
the original favorites.
As his running mate, the conven-
ton named Gov Coolidge of Massa-
chusetts, upsetting a plan of combi-
nation of the Harding hackers to nom
mate for the place Senator Irvine L.
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The collapse of the forces of Gov.
Frank o. Lowden and their transfer
in large part to Senator Harding put
the Ohio candidate over.
General Wood lost heavily, however,
when the Harding drift began, and
Senator Johnson, the third nf the trio
of leaders on the early balloting. also
went steadily down hill.
Entering the convention four days
ago as a candidate distinctly of the
dark horse" class, Senator Harding
got only IS IL votes on the first ballot
and. on the second he dropped to Sc.
When the convention recessed at
the end of the fourth ballot he had 81.
In all night conferences among the
party chiefs, however, he was men
toned many times as the most likely
to break the nomination deadlock
should neither Wood, Lowden nor
Johnson take commanding lead.
They all failed to do so. Wood and
Lowden running a neck and neck race
for leadership on four more ballots,
while the strength of the California
candidate dwindled steadily.
Meantime Harding pushed his total
to 1873, individual delegates from many
states swinging to him from the col
umns of the leaders and of various ia
vorite cons The Johnson managers,
fearing a landslide was impending,
then made last play to save the for
tunes Of their candidate. They moved
to recess for a couple of hours in or
der to take an inventory and seek a
new combination. The Wood and
Lowden forces, both virtually at the
peak of their strength, but both dis
heartened at the long string of ballots
without material gains, fell in with
the recess plan and the convention
