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.

Whether or not royalty meets the

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

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.
