EX-GOVERNOR REFUSES

Talk Of UsIna Caution In Boosting
Lowden FOR vice Presidential
eacmInatlon Brings Declaration

Cleveland, Ohio.-Lowden, Of, HIN
dis, has declined the Republican VIC
presidential nomination.
With apparent finality, he announced
in a formal statement, June 8, that ne
would not accept the honor II nomin'
ated
whether he removed himself entire
" from the situation remains to be de-
veloped. Some Of those who have
been promoting his candidacy say ne
has; others say he cannot.
At any rate, Lowden's announcement
caused one Of those kaleidoscope
movements so common to the milling
and maneuvering OF pre-convention
hours. Booms which had collapsed
over night took on buoyancy and the
dark horse groomers got busy with
renewed enthusiasm.
Lowden's announcement came at a
moment when his rapidly ascending
candidacy was being raked fore and
aft with the fire OF fractional differ
ences engendered in the political af-
frays OF Illinois. Some Of his most
ardent hackers declared the attack, in
their opinion, would not have been
fatal, but they conceded that Lowden's
announcement of withdrawal coming
at the same time, had Debated his
boom considerably II not wholly.
While the Lowden people were sur
veying their own situation, they also
were trying to find out how the Illinois
situation would affect Charles g.
Dawes, whose boom has remained
afloat while the national committee
leaders and many delegates have been
declaring themselves for the former
Illinois governor. Some Of the howden
people expressed the opinion that the
same fire which turned on Lowden
with pent-up force might be turned
toward the general.
