THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1820. COOLIDGE'S NAME CAME ONLY AS AN AFTERTHuUGH I Xtavtd IWTte tpcnt day in Portland on a pcnonal tnqairy into political affair whila ma rosta from th Chicago to tba Sn rraaciaoo coenntion. " ' ! ' Bjr David Liawrence I Copyright, 120, by Tba Oregon Jcmrnal Harding and Lenroot were to have been the Republican ticket, and the combination jtnfght have: prevailed at Chicago but for the Interference of Wallace McCamant," delegate from Oregon, who spoiled the plans of the . m m i I . i f - l u uuara ujr nuiuuuuiug; uvvcrnuc CooHdge at the psychological sno ment ben the entire convention was weary of balloting and the name of the Massachusetts . governor seemed to offer & popular - candidacy for vice president. -'..'-' " v.. , "Shortly after the nomination c SeW a tor Harding." . relates McCamant, who baa Just returned here from the Chicago convention. the word was passed around that Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin .was t- be his running mate. HOW IT CAME ABOUT In connection with other members i the Oregon delegation, I did not re ceive the suggestion with enthusiasm for several reasons,. In the first place, Len root had a prominent part some years ago In the fight to depose John C. Ppooner, one of the strongest end best political headers "Wisconsin ever had, in favor pf Robert .La FoUette. .' "Further than that, his war record was none too. good. I felt that we must look for leaders from those whose Amer icanism rang true during, the great test. Together with other members ; of the Oregon delegation, we talked the matter over "during the lew minutes that "we )ad and Judgs Carey 'of Oregon sug-g-4Sted that I nominate Governor Coot ie ge as Oregon's choice. : During this time, someone had nom inated Lenroot and when I jumped on top of a chair with the Idea of nominat ing the Massachusetts governor, I think the chairman thought I wanted to second Lenroot' s nomination, JUST AT RIGHT M0ME3CT ' "At any rate, he recognized me readily In spite of the uproar the hall was In, snd all I had time to say was merely t!iat the citizens of Oregon had instructed the Oregon delegation to nominate one of the great citizens of Massachusetts (Senator Lodge) for vice president, but inasmuch as that statesman had asked that his name not be used, we desired t plape in nomination the name of an other of Massachusetts' great leaders Governor Coolidge. - "When ftie f. Massachusetts members heard the name, they went wild. Jumped ' upon chairs and shouted the name of Coolidge. From many points throughout the hall oame seconds to my nomination arC when the roll was called, it was scon evident that 1 had touched a popu lar chord. The action was entirely spon taneous, and 18- minutes before I jumped to my feet, nothing was further from iui iiiiiiu ji ixuiu Litv minus ui uiuer members of the Oregon delegation. : "wnue i naa not met uovernor cooi Idge personally, I bad obtained a great deal of Information about him and had t-ecOme convinced that he possessed the qualification which is needed perhaps above all else in this time of unrest, namely unquestioned Americanism." ' The testimony of. McCamant squares,' Indeed, with what was observed from the press box in Chicago and reveals for the first time what ' was behind the move ment for Coolidge. The "someone who had nominated 4 Lienroot" was Senator Med III McCormiek of Illinois, who was further disturbed when Alexander Moore of Pittsburg Jumped to his feet and seconded the nomination of Cool idge in behalf of Pennsylvania. This caused McCormiek to rush over - to the Pennsylvania delegation to find out what was the trouble. He asked Gov ernor SprouU'who was chairman of the Pennsylvania, delegation, - what it' all meant, since Senator Penrose was un derstood to have agreed to the nomina tion of Lenroot. . ';.( : , SATISFIED AFTEB ALL But the seconding had already been done and Moore's prestige in the Penn sylvania delegation was such that, his colleagues stood back of him, 1 for evi dently , the word about Lenroot had not been passed to . the Pennsylvania, delega tion soon enough and the action taken was spontaneous. By the time Senator McCormiek' and Governor Sproul had finished talking, the movement for Cool idge was In f till swing and could not be . stopped. so the , leaders ; accepted Coolidge after all. "They had no objection to the Massa chusetts governor in the first instance. Their idea In advancing Lenroot was to put a western progressive ion the ticket who would contribute strength from Wis consin and states west of the Mississippi. It. was believed that two conservatives would not make a strong ticket. On the other hand now that It is all over, many Republicans feel that it might -have been a mistake to put two United States sen ators on the ticket,, as it might have lent color to the charge that a handful of men In the senate controlled the Re publican national convention., . Indeed, - In many parts of the West Coolidge Is better known than Harding and some Republicans say frankly the convention "put the cart before the horse.". But in Oregon the ticket seems popular enough to carry the state. That's the outlook In June, even before the Democrats have named their candidates.

There Is a possibility, accord ing to well founded gossip in theat rical circles here, that Mary Pick ford Fairbanks may ; courtesyand nobody knows better how to do. It than little Mary- before Queen Mary,-' her namesake, at Bucking ham palace or wherever royalty may. be during Miss Pickf ord's stay in England. Whether or not royalty meets the queen of American movieland. Great Britain is planning a tremendous - re ception to the American actress and her famous husband when they arrive in Louden; this week... Jt- First, to escort them In semi-royal state to their hotel, there will be a special-motor parade, in which all v the prominent theatrical managers of the metropolis have a place. And It is whis pered that Princess Mary is tremen dously ' interested in this "royal .prog ress." , The princess. It Is intimated, has often expressed a. desire to meet -Miss Pickf ord, but it may be that royal eti quette will prevent such, a happy event. Incidentally,' London expects, follow ing the trail cut by the Fairbanks, that 300.000 American visitors will visit the country within the next three months. Hotel managers began throwing up their ,, hands today, when i they were overwhelmed ' with floods of reserva tions. ; They are now ' booked up for months : in advance and see no i possi bility for filling any more orders -for "sitting- room and bath," so much' In demand. . And with this rush of Amer icans just beginning, the managers' of fices, the' hotel basements, balconies and roofs are even now being" used as "bed room." If any more. . come : they will sleep in the street. Baby Dies of Measles -Cathlamet, Wasn.. June 22. The seven months old daughter 'of Joseph 1 Long- tain died of measles.
