COOLIDGE AND DAWES
Noun Englander and Chicago Banker
chosen at Cleveland to Head Re
pubncan Ticket Platform

for 1924.
President Coolidge's nomination wa
accomplished with only ripple of dis
cont from Wisconsin and North Da
kota. but the nomination of his run
n;uo mate came only after the conven
t;on had once chosen Frank 0. Low
don of Illinois, and been forced by hi
declination to choose another Charles
G. Dawes.
After short race with Herberl
Hoover. who came into the balloting
after the declination of Lowden
Dawes galloped off with the nomina
ton.
Motions to make it unanimous and
by acclamation were disturbed only by
the dissents from Wisconsin and North
Dakota.
Nominated by his personal friend,
DR.. Marion Leroy Burton, president of
the University of Michigan, President
Coolidge received solid blocks of votes
from all the states on the final roll
call except from those mentioned.
The totals were as follows:
Coolidge LOGS, La Toilette 81, John
son 10.
Necessary to choice, 556.
Mr.. Coolidge's name was presented
to the convention by DR.. Burton, and
upon the conclusion of his nomina ing
speech the delegates went into Is
minute old-time demonstration in
which state standards were torn from
their fastenings mad carried on howl
ing stream of humanity around and
around the big convention hall.
Charles G. Dawes of Illinois was
nominated for the vice presidency by
the republican national convention
Thursday, after it once had nominated
Frank O. Lowden, former governor of
Illinois, and he had refused to accept
the place.
In brief and spectacular fight in
which William Butler, President Cool
idges campaign manager, had said to
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, 1T
must be Hoover,' and Senator Reed
replied: stIt can't be done, it must be
Dawes" the Dawes supporters, after
the declination of former Governor
Lowden of Illinois, marshaled their
forces and put the general across for
the nomination.
Earlier in the day, Mr.. Butler IS
forces had passed the word that the
administration men desired the nomi-
nation of Theodore E. Burton of Ohio,
and in the voting which followed the
supporters of Frank o. Lowden of Hi
nois ran away with the nomination for
their man, only to have him decline it.
The nomination of Dawes came as the
climax to one of the most spectacular
scenes in Republican party history, in
which the convention once having nom
mated candidate, was obliged to
undo its work and find another.
