World Court, announced seventy.

Butler Learns Lesson.
New York and Pennsylvania paid
Mr.. Butler back in full.
Mr.. Butler left the convention
hall before the convention ad.
journed, and went back to his hotel.
One day had taught him enough
that was new to him about politics
to make him feel like taking a good
long sleep.
Thus 1t might be supposed that
the convention ended on a note of
dissention and dissatisfaction.
Such an alaysis, strangely, would
not be correct.
During the first two days Of the
convention the Old Guard was
largely so pessinistic and so sullen
as to indicate that it had lost in.
test in life and in the next cleo.
ton. =.
Now, today, after last nights
little happy time Of tying Mr.
Butler. TO a stake and Of putting
sliyersa under his. fingernails and OF
twisting his ankle, the Old Guard
feels quite restored among certain
members Of It to viVacity and to a
CHEEKY outlook upon existence and
elections.
1t did the Old Guard good to be
able to show that it, and it alone,
knAV
when there were real difficulties
and troubles.
The moment Of acknowledgment
or defeat by the New Guard was
when Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Massa-
chusetts, was summoned to the
platform to consult with the New
Guard and to see what could be
done about the Vice Presidential
ENHANCEMENT.
Three days ago Henry Cabot
Lodge was acclaimed from coast to
coast "a a discarded down-and-
outer. Now he stands once more,
just as before, among the necessary
leaders OF the Republican party in
an emergency.
The upshot in the end is ex.
tremely likely to be that some sort
OF considerable amaIgamation be-
tween the Coolidge new guard and
the Republican parry's experienced
old guard will be effected before
many weeks have gone by.
The EDITORIAL behavior Of the new
guard during the first days of the
convention. combined with its col.
lapse on the last day Of the con.
vention, Is held to indicate that it
needs to be modified and supple.

House by long distance telephone.
They refused to take Kenyon Of

them that he was the White House

They had had the stage set for

convention, getting out Of hand and
nominating Lowden.
100 Late" Says Reed
Butler sought out Senator David
A. Reed Of Pennsylvania, just as
the chairman was trapping the final
session into order. a.
L4-. Hoover he said. ~
TITS too late" replied Reed
He glanced to where Andrew
Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury
sat imperturbably at the head OF
the seventy-nine delegates from the
keystone State.

Butler stalked back to the 2lat.
form, his face reddening.
And it was Dawson the first
ballot.
New Jersey Rebels.
Senator Walter E. Edge, of New
Jersey, who headed the 81 delegates
from that State, had previously re-
fused to be Swerved from Dawes.
THE New Jersey delegation Is
tired Of taking orders" was his tart
message to the platform.
Dawes got 682h votes, according
to the official count Hoover re.
ceived 234h, the largest single unit
Of which was the 80 delegates from
Buffers State Of Massachusetts.
Even Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.

convention after nearly four decades

and old guardsters, and he had
been definitely rejected as posi-
bility because of his anti-organized-
labor record in Chicago.
The decision, of the conferences
had been that Dawes, because Of
this record was not an available
candidate.
However, just as soon as Mr..
Butler was known to be engaged
in promoting Hoover through his
scouts on the convention floor, the
Old Guard, being obliged to concen-
trate on somebody, discovered that
1t had to concentrate on Dawes.
The Dawes adherents were a mi
nority, but they were determined
and even impassioned about it and
they had to have Dawes or nothing.
In order then not to split the cp-

had to be for Dawes.
