Lack of Contest Owe,
Nomination Lessons
Interest

| The Republican national cOnven-
! tion which is in session at Cleveland,
Ohio, to nominate candidates for
president and vice president and to
adopt a platform upon which the
coming campaign will be waged, was
called to order Tuesday morning
Preliminary work of organization
and delivery of keynote" speeches
by party leaders took up the first
two days of the convention and
nominations were delayed until
Thursday
With the nomination of President
Calvin Coolidge to lead the party
in the 1924 campaign early assured
as certainty and without serious
opposition, the interest in the con-
vention Jagged and the attendance is
comparatively small
With the exception of the Wiscon-
sin delegates and half of the North
Dakota delegates the early proceed
ings were marked with utmost har-
mony. The platform as approved
by administration leaders and sub
mitted by the committee on resolu-
lions was adopted without very much
discussion.
The real interest of the conven-
ton so far developed centers chiefly
in the selection of a running mate
for Coolidge. AS fast as sentiment
begins to crystalline around some
leader who really measures up to the
full requirements of the position the
subject of the boom puts a puncture
in it by ordering his name immed-
lately withdrawn from consideration
If presented. Former Governor
Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois; Sena-
tor William E. Borah, of Idaho;
Secretary, OF Commerce, Herbert
Hoover, of California; all have in
structed their friends not to permit
the use of their names in connection
with the vice presidential nomina-
ton. Former Congressman James
w. Good, of Iowa was being favor
ably discussed by the delegates from
the west and middle west Wednes-
day night.
A strong effort was being made
late Wednesday night by delegates
from thirteen agricultural states to
get their delegates united on a
"farmer-minded" westerner for sec
ond place on the ticket. The main
trouble seemed to be a desire on the
part of each of the states interested
to force a favorite son upon the
other twelve states.
In a wire to John Hart, chairman
of the Idaho delegation, Senator
Borah urged the fitness of Judge
Kenyon of Iowa, former U. s. sena-
ton. Others mentioned were Govern
or Hyde of Missouri; General Frank
T. Hines of Utah; Senator Curtis of
Kansas and Dr.. Marion Leroy Bur-
ton, of Michigan who was selected |
to place President Coolidge in nomin-
alton. DR.. Burton is thought to
have the approval of the president |
although the latter has steadfastly |
refused to express any choice in the |
selection.

tor. Just after the success Of his
first opera his wife and two children
suddenly died, the loss Of which, to-
gether with the failure Of his second
opera, utterly discouraged him. How
ever, after he had tasted of sorrow,
his pen began to pour forth one beau
tiful opera after another to the mum.
Der Of thirty. His last work, "Fal-
staff" was completed in his eight
ieth year. The most popular of his
operas are ''Rigoletti," Aida" and
III Trovatore. Though he lived to
be SO years old the tragedy Of his
early life was ever with him.
