EDGE Held Out for Repara-
tions Expert in Defiance
of Butler

CLEVELAND, June 13 (By The
Associated Press) The campaign
to elect President Coolidge to sue
ceed himself and Charles g. Dawes
of Illinois to be vice president got
formally under way today with or
ganization of the new Republican
National Committee.
The Republican national conven-
ton. which started with almost de-
pressing calm, worked up steadily
through the three days of its sessions
into a roaring, precedent-setting eli
max last night, and ended amid
scenes that soothed the hearts of the
old timers.
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois had
been nominated by an overwhelming
vote, and had declined. That had
never happened before in the party S
history, nor was it In accordance
with the convention managers plans.
Then, after a recess to confirm for
the last time Mr.. Lowden's frequent
ly reiterated decision, the Hell and
Maria general from Chicago was
swept into nomination. And that,
TOO, had not been planned by the
leaders. The convention itself. as
President Coolidge wished. had
named his running mate.
Nomination and acclamation OF
Calvin Coolidge was accomplished at
the morning session with decorous
enthusiasm, only the Wisconsin and
North Dakota followers of Senator
LaFollette dissenting. Everybody
knew what was going to happen. and
It did. Then came the business of
selecting the vice presidential candi-
date.

Jersey, Lead BY Edge,
Puts Dawes In Race

Dawes.
IT am afraid you are making a
mistake" he told Edge before the
night session when the latter urged
Butler to accept Dawes.
well, maybe so, but we are going
through with 1t anyhow" replied
the senator.
Frank w. Stearns, the Presidents
personal friend and adviser. liked
Dawes, but Butler was adamant.
Edge, however, received assurances
of support from Senator Wadsworth
of the New York delegation Senator
Reed, of Pennsylvania: the leaders
of the Oklahoma people. and other
state representations, and had the
satisfaction of playing conspicuous
role in the victory.
Charles B. Warren, of Michigan,
high administration adviser, am
bassador to Mexico, and chairman
of the convention resolutions COM
mittee. was importuned by Edge 10
join the Dawes group of states but
out of difference to Butler apparent
iy would not change. Yet on the
third and decisive roll call at the
night session the Michigan delegates
themselves Topped to the general.
New Jersey really made the fight
for the nominee for vice-president,
although it lost the change to pre-
sent his name to the convention
when Nebraska landed that distinc-
ton. Illinois his home state and
Ohio his native commonwealth did
not show the enthusiasm that the
delegation from New Jersey mani
tested.
A singular feature about 1t, too.
was the unit voting of the states
representatives In view of the d.
vergent views of the leaders, former
Senator Frelinghuysen. and Colonel
Austen Colgate for instance. pledged
to the senatorial candidacy of Ham
ilton f. Kean, showed unusual in
terest in going with Edge. State
Chairman Stokes declared on the
way out that Dawes suited him and
he was instrumental too in aiding
here today in the fight for the sue
cessful candidate for second place on
the ticket.
Mrs. Everett Colby was a big fac
tor in the decision to get behind
Dawes and showed herself to be pos
sessed of splendid political insight in
the two caucuses held here today en-
the question of whom New Jersey
should support for vice president.
She opposed Mr.. Frelinghuysen's
suggestion OF Herbert Hoover be-
cause she said 1t would mean two
silent candidates on the ticket.
Former Judge John I. Blair Reilly,
OF Warren. urged consideration for
Dawes.
All this was in the. morning. In
the afternoon before the convention
resumed its work another caucus
was held at which chairman Edge
advised that Borah was out of It,
and that Dawes would not be nomi-
mated by his home state. Illinois. be-
cause of divided delegation. He
said he favored former Senator
Kenyon who was satisfactory to the
Coolidge managers.
Congressman Lehlbach. OF New
ark. CHARGED that Kenyon had stood
with the radicals and La Follette
while In congress and hoped the
delegation would not have to support
him.
