MARIETTA, Ohio. June 13.
Flooded with congratulatory tele
grams from all parts of the country
and surrounded by his family and
by the friends of his boyhood, Brigadier-General
Charles G. Dawes,
nominated republican vice-presidential
candidate last night Is planning
to leave Marietta this afternoon for
his home in Chicago, where prelimi
nary i)ans for his participation will
be made.
The nominee was enjoying a quiet
reunion In the old Dawes homestead
here with other members of his
family, whe word of the new honor
came to him.
The first word of the nomination
came over the radio through which
the family circle were listening to
the convention proceedings. As the
landslide of votes started in his di
rection on the tbifd ballot, the gen
eral pulled a little harder on the
famous inverted pipe which played
such a prominent part In the recent
proceedings of the allied repera
tions committee but vouchsafed no
hell and marlas.
When the voice of the announcer
officially declared his nomination
his only comment was:
"Well. I declare!"
The general held a short Informal
reception with Marietta friends af
ter the nomination, but denied him
self to interviewers and refused to
talk politics.
