CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6.-The
vice presidential nomination, as good
as settled, with the word that former
Gov. Lowden of Illinois will be ac-
ceptable to President Coolidge, the
convention managers today devoted
themselves to clearing up last
minute arrangements.
The few delegate contests remain
ing before the national committee
for decision were on their way to
being swiftly disposed of before
night, with the idea of leaving Satur-
day and Sunday and some of Monday
free for enjoyment of the hospitality
and entertainment provided by Cleve-
land.
So far as the pre-convention
managers can see, nothing has arisen
to upset their plan for adjournment
on next Thursday night. The grow
ing sentiment for Lowden for second
place eliminated in the word that
his nomination would be agreeable to
President Coolidge. The assurance
that the name of Senator Hiram
Johnson would not even be presented
70 the convention, and the possi-
biilty that Senator La Toilette may
not be formally placed in nomination,
all have combined to smooth out the
convention program and to assure
that the session will be a brief and
harmonious one as the leaders desire
Little remains to be done now, ex-
cept the actual drafting of the plat
form, before the convention really
gets down to its business.
IL was made plain that President
Coolidge in disclosing his approval
or LoWden had not departed from his
nands-on policy and was still leaving
II to the convention so long as no
attempt was being made to put on
a running mate to represent the in
surgent wing of the party The
PRESIDENT it was carefully pointed
out, was simply making it known
that he would regard Lowden as very
acceptable if the convention chose to |
pick him.
RemmeI Slate Seated.
BY unanimous vote the Republican |
national committee seated today four
delegates at large from Arkansas,
headed by National Committeeman H.
l. Remmel of Little Rock
Another lively and rather unex-
pected contest was before the ma
sentation of the case for E. H. R
Green, son of the late Hetty Green,
and his delegation from Texas, who
seeks to unseat National Commit
- u. Il g.
Sentatives.
Green and his assistants conductor
their fight on two major lines-that
the Creagor organization was estop-
ped under the laws of Texas from
functioning because it was composed
largely of federal Office holders and
that it was not representative of the
Republicans in Texas because it |
drew color line.
Charge SteamrOIIer Used.
Steamroller tactics by the Creager
organization at it's convention in
Texas on May 27 also were charged
and the allegation was set up that
because Of these alleged tactics a sec
ond convention was held at which
the Green delegates were selected.
The national committee was told
that the second convention was in
regular order and far more repre-
sentative than the first since it had
in its session by invitation the dele
gates from the black and TAM Re-
publican convention which met in
Dallas on the same day.
Besides the Texas contest, the COM
mittee went on with the hearing of |
the Arkansas row and a second con-
test from the twelfth Georgia district,
in which S. S. Mincey, a negro of Al
Il. n.
Hunt to seat. Hunt was placed on
the temporary roll Tuesday, along
with the remainder of the Henry |
Lincoln Johnson delegates.
Contesting delegations from the
tenth Tennessee district continued
their overnight negotiations for set
tlement Of their dispute without the
Intervention of the national commit |
tee.
In announcing the selection of
Senator Mckinley, William M But
Ter of Massachusetts, pre-convention
manager for President Coolidge, said
further recognition probably would
be accorded to the Senate in filling
places on other committees which re-
main to be organized.
Senator Mckinley is serving his
first term in the Senate, but previous
ly he had served in the House in
seven Congresses.
Rabbi Samuel Schulman of TempIe
Bethel, New York, has been selected
for chaplain Of the second days ses-
sion of the convention. Erroneous an
nouncement yesterday at convention
headquarters named Rabbi Stephen
5. Wise.
