SENATOR HARDING
ANDGOv. COOLIDGE
LEAD REPUBLICANS
Man From Ohio Wins Nomination
on Tenth Ballot.
WOOD GOES DOWN FIGHTING
Bay State Man Won Second Place on
the Ticket on First Roll Call
Lowden Weakens and Helps
Ohioan Near the End.

Chicago, June 14.-Warren G. Hard
ing, United States senator from Ohio,
was nominated for president and Cal
win 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.
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 11S1a votes short OF the majority
of 493. On the tenth ballot his gains
t0taled 100 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 for
him up to this time, but the Pennsyl-
vanians saw the bandwagon coming
and determined to Chamber aboard
without further delay. Pennsylvania
swung 90 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 as
an accomplished fact.
The result of the complete roll call
on the tenth and final ballot was:
Harding ..674

Bay State Man Named.
Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Massachu-
sets was picked as running mate"
for Senator Warren G. Harding In
short order. 1t was one spot where
the convention acted spontaneously.
The delegates, relieved of the strain of
listening for bandwagons put Coolidge
up for vice president without any
management being perceptible in the
process. Four candidates were put in
the field, but the Massachusetts man,
who was reelected last November aft
ter his vigorous action in the Boston
police strike by the largest plurality
known in New England, made almost
a one man parade of it.
The ballot as announced:
COcuuge .............. .oi4
Allen 6S
Anderson ............. 20
Coolidges vote was the same as that
rolled up by Harding for president.
Or, rather, to be precise, it was exact
ly two-fifths of vote smaller.
Thus the governor of the old Bay
state, nominated by a man from the
Pacific slope, landed in second place
on the ticket by the simple process of
letting nature take it's course in the
convention. Spontaneity is the right
word.
