THE SUNDAY ' OREGOMAN, rORTLAXD. JUNE 13, 1920 17 A HARDING'S FRIENDS IE T Nominee's Ability Lauded by Political Leaders. ELECTION IS PREDICTED Tribute Paid to Mrs. Harding for Helping Husband Kisc l''rom Kanks; Uliioan Once Editor. C. M. Idlcman and Dr. Lmmet Drake V ere the representatives of the Hard ing campaign in Oregon and they are enthusiastic over the success of their friend, lioth speak of the nominee in the highest terms and predict his election. Senator Harding made no aggressne campaign in Oregon, through the ad vice of Mr. ldleman, but a quiet plan was carried out to spread a friendly sentiment for the Ohioan and quan tities of Harding literature were dis tributed throughout the state: The success which Senator Harding has achieved in life has been greatly aided by his wife, according to Mr. Idle man, who is intimately acquainted with the governor and during the. campaign has been in almost daily communication with him. Harding F.nterluinril Here. "Senator Harding is a man whom people cannot help hut like." said Mr. Idlcman, when the flash of the gover nor's nomination arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon. "He is a big man, physically and mentally a handsome fellow. He came to Port- land in 1893, while on his wedding tour. a"d I gave him a diner at the Arlington club. Senator Harding is a man much like President McKinley, but possesses more force. He is very kindly and quickly wins friendship. "His father-in-law, Amos H. Kling, the richest man in Marion county, was very disappointed in the mar riage, having had higher hopes for his daughter, and the old man was never reconciled to the match until shortly before his death, when Hard ing va lieutenant-governor of Ohio. Mrs. Harding is a woman of culture and intelligence, and the displeasure of her father caused her to go into the newspaper office of her husband and assist him in editing the Marion County Star. Her influence upon her husband was vast, and whatever ad vancement the senator has made he owes to her inspiration. Thus the nomination of Senator Harding is a tribute to the women of America. - Oregon Cnmpulftn Xot Fntered. "Jt was upon my advice that Hard ing did not enter the primary cam paign in Oregon. I believed that the contest here would he between Wood and Johnson and as Harding was not so well known it would be futile to endavor to capture the delegation. As an alternative, however, I sug gested that support be given to such candidates for delegate as would be friendly, having in mind all the time that under the Oregon system the de-legates would be pledged to the candidate who carried the state up to a certain point. 'l provided the Oregon delegates fPom here with personal letters of introduction to the senator. In one of the letters from his manager, in Ohio, tho latter pointed out that the Harding campaign would not be marked by a large . expenditure of money, as the senator could not af ford to enter the primaries in many states, and he could not call on his friends to contribute. The excessive use of money, it was pointed out, would be detrimental to the party." Campaign Carefully IMnnned. T)r. Knimtt Drake, associated with Mr. Idletnan in watching over the in terests of Senator Harding in Ore gon, says that the Harding plan of campaign was not to make a show ing on the first few ballots, but to wait patiently for developments and then to swing in strong after the early balloting had been disposed of. This programme was carried out with success, as the reports from Chicago indicate. Charles R. P'orbcs of Spokane, Wash., was the manager of the Hard ing campaign on the Pacific coast and his duties consisted principally in keeping in touch with former resi dents of Ohio who knew and were ad mirers of the senator. When in Port land a few- months ago Mr. .Forbes declared that Senator Harding was a party man, and if defeated for th nomination would accept the decision of the convention gracefully. Mr. Forbes expressed the belief that the senator's chances for the nomination were good, as there was a strong sen timent for him in the east and south. The manager visited California and said he was surprised at the large amount of friendly sentiment for Harding in southern California, where Hiram jonnson nad been so strong. This underlying friendliness, said Mr Forbes, appeared to be quite general in the west, although he confessed that the Ohio senator was not so well known in this territory as he was in the east, and he attributed the grow- ing sentiment to the former Ohioans. Hnrding'n Ability Lauded. Thomas B. Tongue Jr., state chair man of the republican committee, ex pressed his satisfaction with the nomination. "Senator Harding is a strong can didate,' Mr. Tongue said over the long-distance phone. "He Is Well thought of in the east, where he has been more in the public eye. When the people of the west are informed of his career, his accomplishments and his ability, they will think as highly of him as the easterners do. The convention selected an able man to head the ticket, which will win in November, for the country will be en thusiastic for-Haiding as soon as. the campaign gets under way." Fred J. Blakeley of Roseburg is an other old friend of the nominee, and declares that the Ohioan is an ideal candidate. . . Nominee Rlpiea From Itanks,' "We all had our personal prefer ences for the nomination," says . Mr. Rlakeley, "but of all the candidates before the convention Harding is the man who can get the confidence of the people and who can be elected. Harding is a man who has come up from the ranks. He was a printer and did his own typesetting on his little newspaper, and he has developed it into a daily of influence. Harding is popular with the people everywhere in his stat. He takes well with -the uinteses. Alter cutting his paper started he interested himself in poli tics and was successful. In every thing Harding has done in Ohio he has always kept his word. He is quiet, of gentle manners, doesn't say much, but when he does speak he talks straight from the shoulder. No other man the convention could have named would run stronger than he for he can go before the people and win their enthusiastic support, be cause he is one of them." Dr. J. W. Morrow, democratic na tional committeeman for Oregon, on being informed of Harding's nomina tion, answered right off the bat: "Harding? We can beat him easily." W..S. U'Ren, attorney and ant of IN OREGON JUB LAN the framers of the Pregon system Guess it is a good nomination. Hard ing and Coolidge should make a strong team. Certain to receive the solid support of the republican party. H. T McBain, resident manager ;rown Willamette Pulp & Paper com pany 1 never expected Harding to receive the nomination. Understand that he Is a good man. State Senator Gus C Moser Splen did nomination. Harding demon strated wonderful executive ability as governor of Ohio and in the United States senate he has been one of the leaders along the line of progress. He will be placed in the White House by a triumphant victory. Robert A. Miller, a democratic leader in Oregon T think that the nomination of Harding defeats the republicans before the election. Man of Vinton. Kays While. George A. White, adjutant-general of Oregon Harding has come out of the tangled maze as the man of the hour. 1 feel, from what I learned of him in the east, that ne is a, man of great strength, of great vision, of the great caliber that is needed in the republican president who is cer tain to take over the nation's helm next March and lead us through the hard problems that remain unsolved. I believe that state that gave us Mc Kinley is giving the country an other man of destiny in Harding. Harvey Wells, state representative elect: "A mighty fine selection. Hard ing win receive the solid support of the republican party and his re markable record as a constructive statesman will assure his election in Novemoer." O. l-aurgaard. city engineer: "Re gret that Hoover was not chosen as the nominee of the republican party, but from all reports Harding is a capable man and he will get my hearty support. Harding Capable. Says Mayor Ra circuit .lunge it. fj. Morrow: Sen ator Harding strikes me as a very desirable candidate because he will not arouse the antagonism of eithei the radical or the conservative fac tions within the republican party It i time for constructive statesman ship, both at home and abroad, and Senator Harding in the White House would give us not only this, but an efficient business administration as well." .Mayor George L. Baker: "I think that the nominating of Harding was a wonderful compromise. He is a very capable man and his nomination will be a big factor in reuniting the republican party." George G. Brown, secretary of the state land board: "Think that the nomination of Harding is as good a choice as could be n.ade. He will receive my support.' State Senator VV. D. Wood of Wash ipgton county: "The nomination is all right. 1 have said for months that the nominee wuiu be a dark horse. The selection, at the conven tion suits me tii'.e." Step Toviarrf llar-noiij Seen. Circuit Judge Stapleton: "Hard ing's nomination is fine. It will harmonize the whole shooting match. Couldn't be better." J. 1 McAllister, secretary of the desert land board Nomination comes as surprise to me. Seems like a good man. A. A. Bailey, prominent republican Harding suits me. Any republican is so much better than any democrat that could be nominated that there is no comparison. 1 was for Lowden, now 1 am for Harding. Judge K. V. Littlel'ield Harding is highly satisfactory. He is a clean man, a student. of affairs and a busi ness man. The republicans of the na tion will support him to the man. lr. Karl Smith, county coroner Although Harding is not my choice, he will receive my ardent support. Think that he will make a wonderful president.

(Copyright. lfl'-'O. by the New Tork World. Published by arrangement. ) LONDON, June 13 (.Special Cable.) Chinas appeal to the league of na tions against her sovereign rights being made subject to barter between Great Britain and Japan !s regarded by league officials as strictly in order. Britain, in view of the uncertain international outlook, will be well ad vised in not proposing revision of the Japanese treaty at present. The ministerial press here has been advo eating a renewal of the treaty, vague ly expressing the hope that it may ultimately be redrafted to include the' United States. But the material fact : ls that the treaty is now good for; 'another two years in its original form.

The poll shows that more Johnson men have quit him. and Lowden gains seven. Where is tho Sproul boom? Everybody has been look ing for it. Too much ' publicity,' per haps. Tour dark horse wilts in pre mature light. Ohio gets back to its original status by giving 39 for Harding. They are for him, all but the . original nine I Wood' men.' Wryoming breaks for Harding. Is this the long-advertised stampede? Probably It is. There are many tn;the galleries who think that the great break is imminent. Missouri gets in a hurry to find the band wagon and the chairman, amid great confusion, asks permission to change the delegation's vote. A col ored delegate rises In excited protest and Missouri finally withdraws its re quest. .The convention gives way to a vast hub-bub. Ilardlis Makra More (iaiSta. The vote shows tnat Harding has made more -gains and Ohio utnps up and gives three cheers. Kentucky, which is for Lowden, thinVs it is time for a recess. The viva-voce votes seem about even. It is too late for the fixers to fix it up. This thing is going its own way without method, but in a determination by the con vention to settle the fight for itself. Medill McCorinick climbs on the plat form. Conference of leaders going on. Nobody knows what it is. Frank Willis joins the conference. Two strangers on the platform engage in an altercation. One strikes at the other and they are put off. The chairman seizes his gavel and arbitrarily declares the motion for a recess carried. The real game is Sproul or Knox. The convention is ap parently getting beyond control. Nobody's prediction is worth much. The trial ballots are not being sent up for Knox. Here it is 4 o'clock. and the press boys have a new line of dope. Some wise guy has been talking to somebody who knows what Penrose is saying over that long dis tance telephone wire, and it is that neither Wood nor Lowden will do. They are to give Harding a trial up to the tenth ballot. If the convention is then Impervious to the shouts of the galleries for their new-found hero from Ohio it is to be Knox. The imperial O. K. of the glowing and sputtering, star of the golden west, to-wit, Johnson, has been put on Philander. That is important, if true. Johnson might even go on the ticket with Knox. If he can't get what he wants and he knows what he wants he will take what he can get. It will be a nice arrangement and Knox and Johnson will sweep the country. Perhaps there- is something about the name Knox that makes a particular appeal to Johnson. A Kansas delegate has . just ap proached the press section and de manded to know who will be vice president, which brings to mind the fact that Henry Cabot Lodge has no tified the Oregon delegation that he will be much offended if they vote for him for vice-president. Lodge has been in the senate a long time, and has known too many vice-presidents. The clock points to 4:45, and the platform is not yet graced with the presence of Chairman Lodge. Some thing doing somewhere, or somebody being done for. Chairman iadze Leiaurely. The importance of the chairman ship is made obvious by Mr. Lodge's leisure in returning from what is evi dently an important engagement else where. The convention is a headless, helpless, restless mass without the chairman. At 5:55 Lodge strolls 'n. calls to order, and orders another bal lot. No change until Connecticut, and the assembly is thrown into wild com motion when 13 votes are switched from Lowden to. Harding. Florida , ,,,. .h t,r, r, i-r . ,-h; ti,. . , . ,. . , .

But Kansas comes along with 20 votes for Harding. The stampede is started. Can It be headed off? A group of excited dele-1 gates is shoving along through the jammed aisles with a great picture of Harding. Kentucky comes through with 26 for the Ohioan. They say Lowden has sent word releasing his delegates to Harding. If so, it's all over but the shouting. Louisiana sees the band wagon coming along and climbs aboard.. Maine and Maryland stand, in the breach for Wood. Most of the Wood, forces are apparently holding the fort, but the Lowden dele gates are breaking. Missouri helps Harding along with 36. Nebraska goes solid for Wood and sets the Wood rooters aglow with excitement. New York breaks to Harding with 66 votes. No doubt now about th genuineness of the stampede. North Carolina joins in the rush. Watch and see whether Illinois does not change to Harding at the end of the voting. Harding's own state was not able to budge the stubborn nine Wood votes from that state, giving 39 for Harding. Tho chairman de livered Oklahoma to Harding but a poll was ' demanded, and the clerk added to the confusion by starting to call the roll of Oregon. Halt Vote Given Will Haya. A woman delegate stirred the con vention to hilarity by giving one half vote to Will H. Hays. She was followed by another one-half Hays' vote from another woman delegate. Oregon refused to join the rush, vot- I ing as . usual, and Pennsylvania I ihnwrf ilv-fuith in Stirrml hv remain ing with him. South Carolina and Texas, wh.tch have been casting scat tering votes, are solidified by the baud wagon and go almost unitedly for . Harding. "Come on there for Harding" yelled the galleries at Wis consin. But amid boos and hisses, it gave La Follette the customary 24. Tho ballot ends with the Lowden forces shattered to the winds and Wood badly hurt, but Harding is still about 100 short of a majority. The stampede has been stalled tempo rarily, perhaps, but still stalled. If they hold the Harding rush for an other ballot, they may stop him en tirely. Now is the time for Lowden to make a dramatic entrance and re lease Illinois and his other delegates. If so. it's Harding, if not, it may not be Harding. The chairman immediately calls the. next ballot. Illinois dies hard but it finally breaks and gives Harding 22 votes. Iowa changes its solid 26 to HardJng and the widely advertised stampede is once more under full headway. It looks like the finish. Maryland interrupts the grand march to Harding by demanding a poll. They are staying mostly with Wood, but Harding- picks up five. Harding gains steadily and w hen Ohio is reached the 48 for the first time go solidly for Harding. No stopping the stampers now. One-half of Oregon slays by. Johnson and three go for Wood and two for Harding. Then Pennsylvania, which had stood by Sproul, all but one lone Knox man, I smashes intJ Its original elements and gives some 60 votes for Harding and 14 for Wood. The long battle is over. The home stiotjh is here and Harding is passing first under the wire. Now what will Hiram Jcinson and Borah do about it? The convention indulges in a vast fit of hysteria, stepping the rollcall and caring little what the rest of the states do. Washington finally left rofndexter and gave Harding 6, Wood 5. Hoover 1, Poindexter 2. Wisconsin started a tremendous storm of jeers by coolly voting in the last ditch for LaFollett3. There are the usual changes to the . winner by various states. It is a real dark horse. No ether kind need apply at any con vention. The joke is on the wise men of the newspapers, since the political organ ization almost wholly ignored Harding in their prophecies. Nobody guessed Harding. Harding has 674. Somebody from New Jersey moves to make it unanimous. There are some scatter ing noes, but is unanimous enough It is a great day for Ohio and for the 47 other states. Now appears on the platform Medill McCormick, one of the Johnson-Borah group, and instructs the convention as to Us duty to name a suitable can didate for vice-president and offers Sepator Irvin Lenroot of Wisconsin. Then rises Wallace McCamant of Oregon and says Oregon had instruct ed the delegation to vote for a cer tain distinguished citizen who lad insisted to them that his name be not presented. 'In a few effective sen lences Mr. McCamant offered Oregon's candidate for vice-president. Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts. A great roar of approval arose. Mas sachusetts seconds the nomination. various delegates make speeches, but no one knows what they are saying. Apparently the convention thinks one senator on the national ticket is enough.

' i (Continued From First Pago.) ing supporters in which the Ohioan's supporters tried without success to have the remaining Johnson strength swung to Harding. I.ovi den Relranra Delegate. It was the parleys between th Harding and Lowden men, however. which apparently bore the most fruit when the balloting began again, for Governor Lowden came to the conven tion during the ninth rollcall and, re versing a previous plan to go before the convention itself, issued instruc tions from behind the scenes releas ing his instructed delegates. Senator Harding also was in the rear of tho Coliseum platform during the voting and conferred with Chairman Hays. Almost as soon as the alphabetical call of states be-ran after the recess the ground swell for Harding demon strated that it could not be fore stalled. Connecticut, when her name was called, took 13 of her 14 votes from Lowden and gave them to Har ding. In Florida he got seven from Wcod, and then Kentucky, almost from the first a solid Lowden state, flopped completely into the Harding column. Wood Fore Deseit. Amid scenes of rising enthusiasm other blocks of Lowden delegates fol lowed suit, whilo many of the routed Wood supporters also went into the Harding camp. By the end of the rollcall Senator Haiding had rolled up total of 374, putting him far into the lead, and several score of voteB nearer the nomination than any can didate had been before. Lowden at the end of the ninth had only 121 votes left out of the 30 1 with which he ended the eighth, and General Woods strength had fallen from 299 on the eighth to 249 on the ninth. Johnson dropped from 87 to 82. As the 10th rolical' began delegates quit Lowden. Wood and .lohnson right and left, and tne Dig hall was in al most continuous applause as state after state announced accession to the Harding standard. It was reserved for, Pennsylvania to add the crowning touch of enthusiasm. When the key stone state was reached the Ohio senator needed 32 to nominate him and Pennsylvania gave him 60. It was Governor Sproul himself, the can didate of his state on every preceding ballot and mentioned many times as possible dark horse to break the deadlock, who announced the big Pennsylvania vote for Harding. Enter ing the Coliseum floor lor the first time since the balloting began, he made his way to the Pennsylvania standard and amid cheers released the delegates from longer supporting him. Then he took a poll, got the floor and threw in the winning Hard ing votes. Delegates Are F.x hauMed. A demonstration of several min utes followed, most of the delegates and spectators standing and cheering while a procession carrying large pic tures of the candidate and standards of some of the states that -supported rum took up its march around the hall. But it was too tired a convention after the gruelling excitement of two sweltering days of balloting to keep up such a demonstration long. Sena tor Lodge, presiding, rapped lor order, and the delegates did not argue with him. Y otea Are Switched. When it was seen that a candidate had been nominated, the customary changing of votes began with a half dozen who had voted lor other candi dates switching over so as to appear in- .the winning column on the last baliot. Most of Illinois deserted its governor and many of the Wood men. too, asked to have their votes re corded for Harding. The final check-up showed 692 for Harding, with only 12 left support ing Lowden. 157 for Wood and SO for Johnson. At their best, earlier in the day. the Wood people bad mus tered 312 votes and the Lowden forces 311. Johnson's high point was US, recorded on the third ballot yester day. Motion to make the nomination unanimous was carried in a great chorus of approval, but when oppor tunity was- given for negative votes Ihere were some "noes" from Wiscon sin, whose delegation throughout the day had voted amid hisses and cat calls almost solidly for Senator Rob ert M. La Follette. Lenroot Suuwed I'mler. The plan to non-inate Senator Len root for the vice-presidency had the backing of many of the men who had helped put Harding over, but the name of Goverror Coolidge stirred the delegates and galleries to repeated cheering and hs whs swept into sec ond place on th 5 ticket before the first .rollcall h-t J gone two-thirds of its length. Aga!n it was Pennsyl vania which furnlthed tne winning votes. Governor Coolidge got 674 votes to 146 for Senator Lenroot and 68 for Governor Allen of Kansas. Several others got scattering support without being placed formally in nomination. The result was greeted with another demonstration and there was renewed cheering a few minutes later when the tired delegates were told that their work was done. It was early evening by the time adjournment was reached but before midnight hun dreds had checked out and were on their way. There was no offfcial total of the final ballot. Near the close of the ballot there was a wholesale switch ing of votes to the Harding camp and then a motion to make it unanimous. This motion failed because of the opposition of the Wisconsin delega tion. School Superintendent Kc-clectcd. SALEM, Or.. June 12. (Special.) John W.
