In selection of the hew. members one

ber will be selected from either Oregon
or Washington. '.

In making a presentation of the de
sire of Portland, the chamber concludes
7 Its argument with the following state
ment: - : ; - '
"Our city has led in the Northwest
i - em fight for an open-door and equal
'' opportunity policy. . Certain shipping
,' Interests in other Northwestern ports,
. as revealed at the commerce committee
, hearings, allied . themselves with the
r big capital group of.' the .East which
Is fighting against competition; and try
' Ing to force this government to sell in
g the quickest possible. time in order that
future operations, may be confined to
. thosJv. same -'centralized Interests hav
J Ing easy contact with, great capital ag
gregations.' 'We submit that one of the two men
to be named from the "Pacific Coast
$ should be ; frbm Portland Thus, -we
are confident, .-would the great cause
of open door and equal' opportunity be
s most likely protected in- the Northwest
ern selection. : We are clear of all the
monopoly, (.influences. ,. whereas certain
shipping interests of some of our neigh
bors have frankly taken the stand with
the centralized New York big capital
group, who believe In a monopoly con
' ' trol of the American merchant, marine.
All twe new Portland shipping develop
ment, with one small exception, Is. ab-
J solutely independent of these groups."

cided whether to place him formally in
nomination. , t V ..
- The Ohio delegation was waiting to
toar whether Governor Cox had any
preference for his running mate on the
ticket. They had asked for his, ad vice.
Rev. Father Barry of , Butte, Mont.,
delivered the Invocation ? on the topic,
"Ood Give Us Men." i&s he prayed, the
delegates' section of the floor was
crowded, but the galleries were only
about a third filled. , ' . ; .
At the, conclusion of -the prayer the

SO AGREEMENT BEACHED
Leaders had ' not ' reached an agree
ment on any vice presidential nominee.
It was learned. They planned to let
the situation solve Itself and first give
the convention a "chance to nominate
a vice presidential candidate in open
balloting. . It was suggested that in
the event there was no nomination
state caucuses -would be called to agree
on some course of procedure.
Gavin McNab of ' California moved a
recess until o'clock- this afternoon.
The motion was overwhelmingly de
feated by a viva voce vote.
IT IS GETAWAY DAY ?
It was getaway day at the convention,
to use a turf phrase.: Numbers of the
delegates had their . grips packed and
waiting near. by. for a dash to the train
the minute the final gavel falls. Some
of them were still weary and full of
yawns, the result of the sensational
day and night session which culminated
early this morning In Cox's nomination.
But the tenslcn was let down and it was
a good-humored crowd - that entered the
now historic auditorium. They were all
anxious to nominate the vice presiden
tial candidate and depart as speedily .as
possible, therefore protracted balloting
was not looked for. .1 .
There were still ' traces of the all
night i nomination battle ,as the first
delegates . strolled into',, the ' "arena," as
Chairman Robihsori calls If and with
more or less ' ennui, sprawled in their
Beats waiting to say thejr say about xhe
vice presidential nomination.'
STANDARDS' ABE TOim
The standards' of Washington, New
York and other states were bent and
torn, due to rough usage during the
great demonstration which attended the
nomination Of Cox. i .
Twelve o'clock came , and went with
less than 1000 people delegates and all,
in the building. There were rows upon
rows of vacant seats in the gallery and
on the floor.

but way down; in front, right-on the
speaker's platform, was the picture of a
younger man, the parly's new standard
bearer. It caught the eye first. It was
like something close at hand, tangible
and definite, while Wilson's oil. painting
had an air of distance and detachment.
The Indefatigable band played the
same old tunes to --the same old way.
With the same old energy. .
BATTLE SCE3TES BE CALLED ,
C There was a lot of handshaking and
"I told you so-lng In progress on the
floor as delegates fought over and over
again the battle of the small hours and
even pointed out on the floor the spots
where this and , that happened and
where the Pennsylvania chairman stood
as his delegation switched and gave Cox
the landslide momentum, as If they were
taking in the sights of aa historic battle
field. - ; : i.; --';v ' ' !'
At frequent intervals the band played
th Ohio battle song. "We'll Nominate
Cox" to the tune- of "And ; He Ram
bled." The crowd always "got ; It" in

loudly. Throats were sore f and, husky
strong men : whispered and women ate
cough lozenges in large - numbers. Some
even claimed ' their palms were tender
from being smitten, together some' thou

J. HAM HOT PRESENTED T
Former Senator James -Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois waa Jiot presented for
mally to the convention as a vice presi
dential candidate, according to former
Governor Dunne of- - Illinois. ' He said
that Lewis, subordinating 'his Own am
bitions to the good of the party, felt the
vice presidential nominee should come
from farther West. . l '
Pat CKeefe. aged, Texas ; McAdoo
rooter, was going around the hall today
cheering for Cox.- Just to show how
good a loser he is, he exhibited a banner
bearing the words, "McAdoo and Cox
will knock Harding and Coolidge out of
the box." This had been prepared In
expectation of McAdoo and Cox being
the Democratic ticket. i i
" I don't cars," cried CKeefe. There's
no state in the Union will give Cox mere
votes than Texas will."
