Dental booms to piece out a doze.
party tickets were bobbing over the
Republican convention today as its
delegates came together to select a
running mate for Hoover.
Overnight conferences among
the leaders and much caucusing in
the state delegations appeared to
have established nothing with Ger
tainty, and apparently no very in
sistent advice had come from the
new head of the ticket himself.
Some of the state caucuses ever
Tapped the noon convening hour of
the convention; other delegates
were late because they had been up
most Of the night trying to figure
out a winning combination; and
still others figuring that the show
was as good as over with the nomin-
alton OF Hoover, had gore nome.
Partisans Busy
Workers for various vice presi-
Dental candidates were busy.
The partisans of Senator Edge of
New Jersey had distributed through
out the delegate area of the hall
hundreds OF folders extolling their
candidate.
An enthusiastic delegate from
New Hampshire had a placard for
Senator Moses ready 20 spri;4g at

APPRAISED a part of the senator's
speech as permanent chairman in
which he breathed defiance at the
Democrats and AL Smith. Bring

One of the stories most persistent
ly passed around just before con-
vening time was that after a ballot
or two to permit various states to

support of New York, Illinois and

states.

Hosts Ride
to COlOrful Finish

Hoover double demonstration, of
course, took up lot of space. It
was done with zest and finish both
times his name was chanted by big
voiced John McNab Of SIN Francis
co. There was nothing lacking, al
though everybody knew days ago
Just what was going to happen.
In the circumstance, some
what perfunctory orgy Of noise
would have been no more than natu-
raj. But Hoover friends were legion
on the floor and all their bottled up
enthusiasm Of the week burst loose
like homebrew gone wild when Nc
Nab sounded off at the very start
of his speech. And it was worse. il
possible, on the secound round. The
usual stage settings and properties
had been provided in plenty by
efficient Hoover managers. Flags
tin rattles, wooden clackers of as
sorted kinds were showered over the
place from some mysterious horn
Of plenty.
They were all used and most Of
them were used up; but even if
never a mechanical gadget of any
kind had made its appearance the
Hoover show would have been deaf
ening from lung power unassisted.
Other Demonstrations
There were other demonstrations
as Watson. Norris and the others
were named. They were just one or
two state affairs, except when Cur
tis Of Kansas was put up, or rather
when he was about to be put up.
That was a matter outside con-
vention control, for it was the folks
back home in Kansas, just over the
river and surrounding Missouri, who
did that job. Except for the
Kansas and Oklahoma delegations
and lad here and there with Curtis
leanings the floor and the delegates
had no hand in it. All the cheering
and noise was from the packed
galleries.
Heard without explanation, it
would have sounded like q rival
demonstration that threatened
Hoover's grip on the convention.
But nobody in the hall could have
been mistaken, even before Moses
threatened to clear the galleries
with police aid if the guests failed
to shut off their whooping for the
home town boy and let business
proceed.
Hoover Cheers Loudest
There was only one real demon
stration at this convention and that
was for Hoover, both chunks Of it.
So when Moses finally managed
to get his flock of platform ac-
counts into agreement on what the
vote showed and officially declared
that the answer to the now famous
"Who but Hoover" was nobody" !"
there was just strength enough left
for feeble cheer, a flutter Of be-
draggled flags, a few weakly wav-
ing, tired hands-and that was all.
In another half hour the tired and
sleepy-eyed host was galloping off
about its business and . very con-
siderable part Of it seemed to be
galloping clear out Of town.

BATTLE GOES TO HOUSTON
BY BYRON PRICE

Kansas City, June 15.-R-The
overwhelming choice of his party
convention, Herbert Hoover is the
Republican presidential nominee of
1923.
His nomination was voted late
last night on the first ballot in q
landslide that piled up at his feet
nearly four-fifths of the entire vote
Of the convention. The alliance
against him collapsed and scattered
and his chief opponent, Frank O.
Lowden, withdrew entirely, disap-
pointed and dissatisfied with the
party platform plank on farm re-
lief.
Selection Of a nominee for second
place was left to today's final ses-
sion Of the big party conclave,
called together at noon after Repub-
lican leaders had sifted over q score
Of candidates at numberless confabs
throughout Kansas City's downtown
hotel section and had sought the
advice Of Hoover himself in Wash
ington.
Once it has come to an agreement
on the vice presidential nomination.
the convention will be ready to ad-
journ and 60 home. A few hours
before it made its choice for head
Of the ticket it had completed adop-
tion of q platform modelled on the
Coolidge style Of political architec-
ture with q few extra buttresses
here and there to fortify it against
the special strains Of this particular
presidential year.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 15.-(R-I
Herbert Hoover achieved an over
whelming victory in his nomination
for the presidency in the Republi-
can National convention, but with
less than one-third Of the vote Of
Minnesota and North and South
Dakota delegates.
Most of the So delegates from
those states went into the nominat-
ing session pledged to Lowden. But
when he withdrew his name from
consideration, the delegates spread
their vote over five candidates, each
state giving one or more votes for
three candidats.
Minnesota gave Hoover eleven
votes, North Dakota Independents
cast four votes for him, and two
South Dakotans went to his column
for q total of II votes from the
three states. Lowden got 80, Nor

Candidates for the Republican
vice president nomination were un-
der scrutiny today by delegates
from Minnesota and the Dakotas
with an eye for q candidate that
would appeal to the farmer vote.
While most Of the Minnesota del
egation expressed confidence that
the Republican National ticket head
I'd by Herbert Hoover would win
out in the November election in that
state, there was . sharp division Of
opinion among the delegates from
the two Dakotas.
Need Of = vice presidential can
didate with prestige among farm
ers was pointed to by several Min
nesota delegates as desirable to help
campaign arguments in the rural
communities.
Independents for Hoover
North Dakota Independents on
the delegation from that state ex-
pressed confidence that Hoover
would carry the state, but the Nom
partisan leaguers did not share this
confidence.
The Lowden supporters on the
South Dakota delegation, through S.

chairman Of the delegation, said
Hoover's nomination meant q big
task for the party in the fall.

(BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON,

Kansas City, June 15.-- Hoarse
from shouting. leg weary from
stumbling through narrow, congest-
ed aisles, ear-weary from oratory
and just plain convention tired, hot
and sticky. it was with hardly the
spirit left to raise cheer that the
Republican national convention of
1923 set the formal seal of it's ap-
proval on Herbert Hoover as it's
chosen leader last night just in time
to escape Friday and it's traditions
and superstitions of bad luck.
After days of doing almost moth
ing since it pushed it's way into
Convention Hall last Tuesday, the
assemblage which is the four year
handspring of party energies
crowded into one day and night Of
almost continuous session virtually
all Of the business it had to do.
Once given the chance to say it's
own say as to platform disputes or
rival presidential nomination aspir-
ants, the Hoover host trampled all
opposition under foot so overwhelm-
ing on every issue that it seemed
dubious that enough pieces could
be picked up to put together a
running mate for the Californian
out of the convention circle itself.
Moses Is Ringmaster
And with that done, the conven-
tion hustled off to hotel beds or
waiting sleepers bent on a long
sleep. It didn't even wait to hear
Chairman Moses rattle away an
adjournment formula that stands in
the minutes as a duly taken vote
but which was in reality just an
arbitrary cutting short Of proceed
ipgs by the gingery New Englander
who has already built himself a
reputation as ringmaster of a ma
tional political convention.
But let nobody get the impression
that the convention did not get it's
fill Of noise and action when it got
back from dinner yesterday and
selected its presidential candidate.
The row it kicked up over Hoover's
name must have set that worthy's
ears tingling with pleasure as he
was listening =. And who, in his
position, would not have been. That
moment with it's certainty Of the
solid endorsement the convention
would give him to back up its vocal
tribute, once it came down to vot-
ing, marked the high point Of the
spectacular career Of the sturdy
shouldered Californian. Very few
Of Americas millions can ever know
any such moment as that.
