Among other things in IT. ehoft
session, the convention in adoptink
its rules approved new arr4n4>-
ment by which women viii h4vo
equal representation with men on
the national committee
Again as at yesterdays session,
there was long and loud demon-
stration when the rallying CRY Of
Sarty regularity and loyalty to Cool
idge was sounded by Permanent
Chairman Mondell in q short 4d-
dress. He got the delegates to their
feet-all but the LaFollette men
from Wisconsin-by asking for 3
Rers blican congress that would re-
main Republican after the election.
Secretary Hoover's statement in
Washington declining to be consid~
cred for the vice presidency put Gk1ll
another element of uncertainty into
the contest for second place on the
ticket and as the convention broke
up and the delegates went back 10
their hotels, no one was prepared 70
say just what the final effect would
be.
Today's program marked the p64-
sage of the organization OF the con-

itself out OF the way today II pos~

free for the uornff,a fion of Preside ant
and vice president.
The vice presidential situation attn
was being allowed to simmer 80 Tar
as the convention managers were
concerned, while the managers Of
the various booms worked hard 20
bring about capitalization OF senti-
ment among the delegates.
Meantime a fresh telegram sof
declination from former Goveruor
Lowden was being passed around ON
the floor. 1t was addressed to the
Oregon delegation which has bean
active in promoting the Lowden vtcA
presidential boom and requested that
the delegation should not vote fox
him on any roll call.
But neither this nor any other Of
the preliminaries aroused much Of
the buzz of comment that usually
drifts up to the rafters when ma
tional convention is assemhlinx.
Five minutes before the time -
for the opening of the session tia
vast galleries encircling the convon<
