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.

CHICAGO. June 12. Fear of a
deadlock which he believed, would
prove detrimental to his party caused
Governor Lowden to release his dele
gates on the convention floor at to
day's session, according to a state
ment made by him tonight. Governor
Lowden said:
"After the eighth ballot, upon
which I received a plurality of all
votes cast, it was represented to me
that the delegates were becoming
restive under the delay. Fearing a
protracted deadlock, which 1 be
lieved would have been detrimental
to the interest of the country, I de
cided to release all delegates and ad
vised them to use their best judg
ment as to whom they should sup
port. "I have great confidence in the
ability and character of the'success
ful candidate, shall support him with
all heartiness and believe the ticket
will be elected. The republican
party has not had such an opportun

CHINA'S REQUEST FAVORED
Britain Xot Likely to Alter Jap

(Copyright. lfl'-'O. by the New Tork World.

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.

race, but the home stretch is yet
quite a ways ahead.
Johnson is on the toboggan, and
slipping. Michigan starts another
row about its Johnson instructions.
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

Lowden. 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.

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.
