Chicago, June 12. Hiram John
son's threatened gas attack on Wal
lace McCamant for refusing to vote
with the rest of the Oregon delega
tion for Johnson on the first ballot
did not come up to advance notices.
When Oregon's vote was announced,
nine for Johnson, one for Wood, a small
commotion was Indicated in the direc
tion of the Oregon delegates, and dele
gets Hamilton Johnstone was heard de
manding that the delegation be polled.
"1 challenge the vote of McCamant.
At the Oregon primary the delegation
was Instructed," Johnstone was beard
saying. The rest was lost In commotion
as Chairman Lodge began-to pound the
. gavel. :..
The gentleman Is out of order,"
shouted the .chairman. ;
Lodge added that the delegation
would be ordered polled. One by one
- the names were called, McCamant first
of an.-'.
WOOD GETS VOTE
"Wood." he shouted, and the Wood
forces rewarded him with a brief cheer.
That ended the incident so far as the
convention was concerned.. :
Just before the balloting. Senator
Borah Indicated that this weald be the
extent of the Johnson protest In the
convention, the plan to denounce Mc
Camant from the floor having been
abandoned. The Johnson managers evi
dently decided that this would be bad
policy, as the convention was eager for
- business and with the aid of Lodge's
silencer; doubtless would have brushed
a4de ay attempt to interrupt the roll
call with a discussion over the alleged
breaking of instructions.
McCamant stated afterward that he
had hoped the Johnson people . would
attempt to prevent his vote being re
ceived. '
McCamant did not have to wait long
for -company. Chairman Raod of the
Oregon delegation announced eight for
Johnson and two for Wood on the third
ballot. There was another demand from
Delegate Johnstone to poll the delega
tion. This revealed that Ielegate D.
J. Cooper has deserted the Johnson camp
-for Wood, -v.
Then on the fourth ballot Oregon gave
Wood five and Johnson five. This time
no demand was me.de to poll the dele
gation. Those who broke away were
Charles H. :arey. IJow V. Walker and
William H. Brooke.
The explanation afterward given was
thct Johnson had failed to develop ad
ditional strength, but that Lowden was
gaining on Wood and that delegates
whose second choice Is Wood were jus?
titled in joining the general to offset
the Lowden showing. .
When the balloting wa aver the
Johnson forces set about to repair their
fences so far as possible. ' They are, try
ing to prevent further desertions and
to exact a promise that those who have
already gone to Wood will return to
Johnson if Wood can't make it and
Johnson shows a new spurt of speed.
LOWDEN MAT GET SOME '
No delegation : meeting - is contem
plated, and each delegate is paddling his
own canoe. ' It Is believed the Oregon
' vote will continue to show an equal di
vision between Wood and Johnson un
less there is an overnight swing in the
situation. In' the event that Johnson's
: remaining support goes to pieces, it is
thought Lowden will garner some of it.
: One bit. of gossip was that Hamilton
Johnstone will break to Lowden without
much more delay. .- '':;.'' " "
Oregon was net the' only place where
Johnson lost instructed delegatea Eight
or 10 others Jumped the-fence in Ne-
' braska, Indiana and. North Dakota.
Further inroads on his Instructed forces
are predictedin Michigan 'and North
t Dakota. These defections, the Wood
! people say, will more than offset' the ex
pected swing of a Lafollette's delegation
to Johnson and other votes . the Cali
fornlan will pick up.
The Johnson forces were said to be
pinning faith on a report that Penrose
will i deliver Pennsylvania to Johnson.
This was ridiculed by the Wood and
' Lowden forces, . both of which hope to
7-fall heir to the Sproul vote which they
see as the key to the situation. All
around was the few that Pennsylvania
will hold fast to SfXuI ant thereby, in-
-vite a deadlock wrTO might bring out
Sproul as the nominee.
SMOOT rSES STRONG ARM ' -
Only one , instance of strong-arm
method was- witnessed during the nomi
nating, period. This was in connection
with the presentation of Hoover's name,
which may not have been a mere coinci
dence. . ; . ' . .
After Judge Millerof New York in an
unusually strong speech, had nominated
Hoover, swells of cheering came from
all parts of -the hall, it wa unled,
without the rhythmic accompaniments so
often used. But it lasted and lasted.
Only a few delegates, joined but the
galleries were alive with Hoover senti
; . ment. - . :. . . . ..... ...
Senator Smoot was wielding the gavel
- at the time and he wielded it repeatedly
trying to-quell the demonstration. Still
the cheers came and without waiting
for the demonstration to subside. Smoot
finally required the Hoover seconding
speech to be delivered while the cheer
ing went on. The delegate to whom this
duty fell went bravely ahead with his
pantomime. Nobody heard what .he said
except the official reporter at his elbow.
it looks trwrscAL
This was a most unusual affair. It
did not happen to other candidates,
having once forced the speaker out,
Smoot did not attempt after that to ob
tain quiet. .. . -- -
- Hoover ' received seven votes . on the
first ballot and dwindled to five on the
fourth. This was all the manifested
, strength shown for Hoover in the old
guard convention. Despite the vote he
received at . the . primaries where his
came appeared, and despite the remark-
... able demonstration In the convention it
self. Hoover's strength is everywhere
ixcept among the delegates.:
FJiller & Tracey
Sudden Change for ;
The Worse Eeported
In Penrose Condition
Philadelphia. Pa June 12. (1. N.
S.) The prolonged strain of the' Re
publican convention had caused a sud
den turn for the worse in the condition
of United States Senator Boles Penrose,
according to reports throughout the city
this morning. .
Color was given them by the an
nouncement that two of the senator's
physicians were in attendance at the
senator's home today.
At the Penrose residence all informa
tion of a definite nature is being with
held. -
NOMINATING SPEECHES
TOO LONG, SAYS BRYAN
(Continued from Pass One.)
the audience get s restless and the speak
er is apt to be Interrupted with cries of
"name him. Even so veteran a? poli
tician - as Governor Allen of Kansas
lessened the effectiveness of his appeal
by J extending It ; unnecessarily. The
Wood supporters would have been Just
as demonstrative had it been half as
long. . i
'Wheeler, who put Senator Johnson In
nomination, aroused opposition, not only
by the length of bis speech, but by the
tone. He presented - some unpalatable
truths, and he ' did not take the pre-,
caution to sugar-coat them. He was de
fiant rather than persuasive, but possi
bly he felt that persuasion would be
wasted on the delegates, to whom he
addressed his remarks. t V
Ex-Governor Willis of Ohio made by
far the best nominating speech of the
day. He has a fin voice and la an
experienced speaker. He began by a
trick of expression that always catches
a convention audience. He assured the
delegates that Ohio would cast her vote
for the Republican nominee, no matter
what his name or the state from which
be came. This is one of those pre
election prophecies wnich always makes
good with a partisan-, gathering.
GABFIELD'S SPEECH RECALLED
As Governor Willis comes from Ohio,
many probably recall that another promi
nent Ohioian made a very taking con
vention speech about 40 years ago. In
the convention 1880 General Garfield pre
sented the nam of Senator John Sher
man - so eloquently, that he was nomi
nated himself. This kind of history may
repeat itself at any convention.
The seconding speeches were as a rule
more-- effective than- the nominating
speeches, partly due to the fact that
speakers are more apt to be eplgramatlc
when their time is limited. McNeil of
Michigan, who seconded the nomination
of Senator Johnson, made a very favor
able impression. He is a young man
and his style marks him as an orator
with a future, ; -SPEAKER
REACHES HEARTS "V
Congressman i Scholl r of Minnesota
turned his blindness to account. "By a
beautiful and touching incident he, im
pressed upon the - audience the argu
ment by which he endeavored to show
that Johnson's i following was due to
heart ties rather than to mere admira
tion of intellect. ; Governor Morrow of
Kentucky condensed a good deal into
a few well chosen sentences.
The women have reason to be proud
of the record they made today.. They
were ln.no respect inferior to the men.
.Reference has already been made to the
speech of Mrs. P.ojison, but two others
deserve mention, Mrs. Alexander Pfelf
f erC fwho - second ed f the nomination of
Governor Coolidge, and Mrs. J. W.' Mor
rison who seconded the nomination of
Hoover. The former's speech was a
rhetorical gem. i The latter' s speech was
very impressive
DEMOKSTK5.TIO;fS DIFFER '-: .
The demonstration for. Hoover was
very different from that which followed
the presentation - of the names of the
three leading candidates. General Wood,
Governor Lowden and Senator Johnson
had friends among the delegates and
they- raised quite a commotion when
these candidates were presented, but the
Hoover demonstration was confined to
the gallery. The scarcity: of delegates
participating was easily explained when
the ballot showed only seven votes cast
for him. But the gallery made. up for
any lack of enthusiasm on the first floor.
The chair had difficulty in bringing the
demonstration to an nd. : -
In this connection it is Interesting to
note the preparation that is sometimes
made for a demonstration. .
FEATHER SHOWER RELEASED ' 7
When General Wood's name was placed
before the convention a shower of red,
white and blue leathers, with the name
"Wood" stamped on them, floated down
from the ceiling. .They were eagerly
caught up and many of them soon after
wards appeared in hats, buttonholes and
on state standards. Some were gathered
up as souvenirs and sent to grandchil
dren, as mine wert.v:-A'i.':.:-c.i'V.:-;
- When the Johnson boom was ready to
give vent to Itself pictures of the sena
tor rose up from secret places and filled
the air like waving banner.. In-like
manner the Hoover demonstration was
aided by white triangular banners, bear
ing tha name "Hoover" which came out
of hiding at the proper time. Man is a
new creature when he is in - a crowd
and women also. They make- a conven
tion interesting. .

A Michigan delegate demanded a ' poll

indication of a possible break tn , the

A rumor was about before the convention
went into session that the sixth ballot
rwould see changes in the Michigan vote.
The fourth name called on the Michigan
poll showed a vote for Wood. . The
eighth vote also went in to Wood, as
did the tenth and eleventh. The twelfth
went to Wood and also the thirteenth.
Fourteenth also went to Wood, tying
the count at ' that stage. Johnson aot
the fifteenth and sixteenth. A Lowden
vote then appeared.. Four r delegates
then voted for Johnson. The first -26

(Ohio again asked for a poll of the
delegation. As the Ohio poll progressed
the delegates sauntered up and down
the . aisles. Occasionally . an emissary
from one delegation slipped up quietly
across the aisle to engage other delega
tion leaders in whispered conversation.
It was noted that two of the Pennsyl
vania delegates slipped quietly into the
New York section and conferred " with
Senator Wadsworth. The result of the
Ohio poll was announced:
: Ohio Harding 85, Wood IX r
(The result of the Ohio poU, being
a four vote gain for Wood and a cor

with an American flag and a picture
of Abraham Lincoln on it and also a
ticket that is supposed to entitle me
to seat 12 in row Q in section 17.
Well ladles, and gents, I will give
a $125 to anybody that can take my
badge and ticket and ! get Into seat 12
in row Q in section 17. without stepping
on several strangers' Adams apple and
then setting on several more strangers'
laps, - ,
HEW WAMB FOR JOB
I did manage to get: in somebody's
else's seat Thursday p. m. in time to
hear 'the talk that was give by Mr.
Cannon, who I once nicknamed Uncle
Jeo Cannon, though he is no relativX
but now I have changed the nickname
to Big Bertha Cannon on accX of the
dlstants be can talk.
But what I wanted to say was that
I could of pretty near seen him while
be spoke if they hadn't of been 4 fat
policemans standing in - front of me
and a dozen walking delegates walk
ing' up and down the aisles.
Other gents In the press box was 6
or 7 celebrated artists and other car
toonists that was sent here to make
sketches of the different speakers and
etc1. Well, if these artists didn't sketch
nothing only what they really could
see,: our leading newspapers would be
full, of inspiring pictures of fat police-
mans backs.
LARD9EB IS M08T '
' That is how the Grand Old Party has
been entertaining we : newspaper boys
and girls, and as for the bono publico,
why here' is a : sample of what they
been enjoying. They's a young lady
friend of mine that was handed a ticket
by a young man friend of mine and it
said on the ticket. that she was-to go
In entrance Q and sat in seat 9 in row C
in section 87. - ,
Well, this young lady isn't what you
could call a Jack Dempsey and never
even fought a policeman in her life.
but two of the boys i stopped her at
the ft. of the stairs and told her she
couldn't go up because i the joint was
full like most of tha out of town guests.
So she decided to come around to the
press entrance and try1 and send a
S. O. S. to a newspaper friend, who
I am too modest to mention his name.
WOULD JTT SPEAK ' TO HIM .
But an entirely new policeman that
hasn't appeared in ; thin; story before
told her he couldn't possibly find no
body In the press box. though person
ally I know they was somebody there,
in fact too many somebodys to make
It comfortable. :h: ijft.;-.;;
So she went back again to the stair
case that leads to section Q and man
aged to wheedle her way past the first
2 policemans and got up to the - bead
of the stairs and 2 bigger policemans
looked at her ticket and said it didnt
mean nothing on acct, of the Joint be
ing ruled, jand then a large fat fireman
come out and said to not allow nobody
to et in. but finely a few sargent at
rms got : hungry and come out and
len the policemans kindly permitted
the young lady to go to where the ticket
called for. but they was all ready a
gent setting in the seat and as "she
had never met him she didn't set down,
but turned around and come out. They
let her come out. Elapsed time: 1
hour, and 20 minutes.
SOKO NOT FITTING -
So all and all I wish to ' congratulate
my Grand Old Party on how they run
things and if Z am not nominated, why
don't be surprised if I bolt the party
.and . run independent !! of policemans.
During the time I was there about all
as Z beard was the party's keynote
song, J "What the Hell Do We Care
Now?" ;- ' "-jli.-pv -!-.-;
And all I seen besides policemans and
sergeants at arms was more suspenders
than I thought they was left.
The cheer leader tried to get the
gang to sing "Old Folks at Home," but
en. Looge wouiant stand for it on
the grounds that they couldn't be any
old folks left at bome When practically
all oC them was -there on the premises.

BORAH STICKS TO JOH2TSOK
Borah declared he had no personal ob
jection to Sproul. It is also known John
son and Knox are quite friendly, That
Borah insisted Johnson not only be nom
inated, but predicted again be would be
elected the next president. i
Borah reiterated thaX under no cir
cumstances would be consent to Wood
or Lowden. Borah's attitude, and the
knowledge . that Senator Kehyon was
planning to get his committee into ac
tion again soon after the San Francisco
convention ends, were said to have con
tributed to the willingness displayed at
the Blackstone conferences to drop both
Wood and Lowden.
Senator Smoot played an Important
part in these conferences.
Colonel William Procter, millionaire
soap manufacturer, who admitted hav
ing contributed more than half a million
dollars to the Wood campaign fund, was
in close touch with them. " Governor
Lowden. through bis campaign mana
gers, was also said to! have been kept
informed as to what transpired. Among
the senators,' besides Smoot who drifted
In and . out ' of the conferences. were
Watson of Indiana, ; - Brandegee of
Rhode Island.. Frelinghausen of New
Jersey, Wadsworth of New York. Calder
of New 5 York, : Curtis j of 'Kansas , and
Harding himself. ; jf
HARDING VICTORY FBTBDICTED
It was freely predicted by delegates
friendly to Harding assembled in the
Blackstone lobbies to await the outcome
HARDING AND SPROL
presidential aspirants whlle the confer
ence were on. Several of the confer
ences were held in the room of Senator
Brandegee on the fourth floor of the
Blackstone.' -..':..
Borah was a visitor to the Blackstone.
but he denied he had participated In
any of the conferences. He said he bad
gone to the hotel to confer with John
son. - - . :-"'
The conferees did not reach an agree
ment on. Harding, It was said, .until by
a process or elimination they had dis
posed of all . other candidates except
Wood and Lowden. neither of whom
was considered seriously. . It was the
belief of the conferees,: it was reported,
tnat both Wood and Lowden would be
gin to weaken after the first few bal
lots today, although the campaign' man
agers of each were said to have refused
to enter into any "jdeal to swing to any
other candidate.
It was the consensus of opinion among
delegates who talked with the stoud of
senators afterward that by the time the
convention recovered there would be a
ticket ready which Jtepubllcan leaders
who are seeking to prevent the nomination-of
Johnson would unite In trying
to put across. : .
That ticket .would . most certainly be
beaded by Harding, it was stated posi
tively by one senator favorable to Hard
ing's candidacy, . , v
."The situation looks very favorable to
my candidacy." was the only statement
Harding. would make. It was then 2
a. m. and Harding and the other sena
tors appeared worn out by the long
hours they had put i; in without sleep
since early yesterday in an effort to
develop a "deal" majority, of , the con
vention would accept. ,t ........
IT" the Harding deal failed. It was
sgreed a "dark horse" should be nominated,-it
was also learned. --.
Another hit of information permitted
to trickle from the conferences was that
Senator Penrose from his sick room in
Philadelphia had communicated his ap
proval of, the choice of Harding, as a
compromise candidate. ; .. .
OLSEX DENOUNCES BOLT
BY OREGON DELEGATES
Chicago, June 12. (L, N, JS.) Former
Supreme Court Judge OoBrad Patrick
Olsen of Portland, one of the leaders
of the Oregon -delegation, protested the
action of five Oregon delegates voting
for Wood and Informed Senator Johnson
of the violation of their bonds by the
delegates. The delegation had been in
structed to cast its 10 ballots for .John
son. ."The people of-Oregon will never
stand for this kind of representation,"
said Former vjndge - Olsen. "Usually
Oregon representatives are afraid to be
tray their . people." ; :

roared from one of th side , galleries! '
At 4:12 the stage apparently was set
The galleries were packed to the roof.
On the floor hundreds pi outsiders forced
their way into the section reserved for
delegatea and milled iraund in general
confusion. ' .
-Someone- in tha gallery started sing
ing, "Hall. Hall, the Gang's AU Hera"
Part tof 'the crowd joined In, but the
vocal efforts were squelched when an
Ohio delegate forced his way to the ros
trum with the , gigantie photograph of
his candidate. : - . ' .
Small photographa of Harding came
fluttering down . from the roof like a
snowstorm. - - ; :,
, The, Ohioans then attempted to plant
their Harding standard on the rostrum,
A cry of "Don't do that ; don't do
that, came from the Connecticut dele
gation and the effort was given tip.
At 4 :16 Chairman Lodge had .not ar
rived and the. impatient crowd was
bowling for action..:- '

would approach big dimensions on the
ninth ballot.
J. Henry Jtorabach; "chairman of the
Connecticut delegation, said that state
would cast all except one of its votes
for Harding on 'the' next ballot.
It was one of the hottest days of the
session, but the humidity acted as, no
deterrent on the spirits of the throng.
As the tide began swinging to Hard
tog, a crowd in the galleryi Just over
the California delegation, commenced
leaning--over and yelling down at' the
Caliof rnians : "Vote for Harding 1 Vote
for Harding 1" .
There were stmnar scenes through
out the Coliseum. - Again and- again the
delegates flocked Into' the aisles and

the nominee. Lowden and Wood root
ers staged demonstrations.. At the
same time many delegates stood on
chairs, shouting from one delegation,
to another, and the chairman had great
difficulty in restoring order.
Loud arguments, accompanied with
much gesticulating, arose in various
delegations. When such quarrels oc
curred other delegates Jumped to their
chairs and there was much noise in the
galleries.
Each time tha California delegation
stood solidly for Johnson there was a
little ragged applause which quickly
subsided. As Poindexter managers pre
dicted, the Washington contingent stood
solidly for the senator on every vote.
Jfivery time the roll call reached- New
York and Pennsylvania with their big
blocks of votes there was a settling
down and a hissing for silence, in evi
dent . expectation that a heavy vote
would be delivered for Hardin. But
Pennsylvania remained loyal to Sproul
and the New Yorkers scattered their
Votes, giving most of them to Lowden,
and there was a rumble of disappoint
ment. - .
Eller Parry. -Cleveland hlxh school
boy, started a demonstration in the Con
eress hotel this afternoon for Senator
Harding. . .Parry- predicted Harding
would be nominated on the first ballot
after the recess.
RECESS COMES JUST AS
HARDING BOOM STARTS
Coliseum. Chicago. June 12. (V. P.)
After taking four more ballots, making
eight in all, the Republican convention
recessed at 1 ;37 p. m. until 4 p. m.
Chairman Lodge finally put the ques
tion of a recess while the conference was
still on:
General Wood, who finished yester
day's balloting in the van of the other '
candidates with S14tt votes, in the
fourth ballot,-, dropped back into second
place today, finishing the eighth ballot
with 289.
On the fifth ballot Wood also showed
a 299 figure, scoring a come back In the..
sixth, which he finished in a tie with
Lowden at 3UV. He gained half a vote
on the seventh- and fell back 13 votes
on the eighth ballot.
Lowden, concluding yesterday's bal
loting with 289, leaped to 303 on the
fifth, finished the sixth with 311ft and
the seventh with the same total.
On the final ballot before recess he
bad 808. -
Senator Harding, starting from a
score of 61 xn the fourth ballot yes
terday, Jumped to 78 oo the fifth, 89 on
the sixth, 105 on the seventh and 113ft
on the eighth. The-promised develop
ment of strength by Governor Sproul
after the fourth ballot did not ma
terialise today. Pennsylvania's loyal
delegation stayed with their governor
through the four ballots before receas.
There was an . undercurrent of belief
throughout the Coliseum that the Penn- r
sylvania delegation would- swing to
Harding whenever the senator ap
proached Close enough to the necessary
493 to push him acaoss.
Hiram Johnson's strength slipped from
a total of 104 ft on yesterday's ballot to
87 on the eighth today. Michigan, where
Johnson won an unexpected primary
victory, began dropping away from him
on the sixth ballot today, and on the
eighth Wood went into the lead in the
Michigan quota.
