Necessary to nominate, 493, Chicago, June 14 Warren O. Item ing, United States senator from Ohio, was nominated for the presidency lasl Saturday by the republican national convention on the tenth ballot, after a deadlock which had lasted for nine ballots and which finally forced out of the running all the original favorites. As his running mate, the convention named Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination of the Harding backers to nominate for the place Senator Ir vine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. Coolidge wag nominated by Wallace McCamant, Oregon, The collapse of the forces of Gov ernor Frank O. Lowden and their transfer In large part to Senator Hard ing put the Ohio candidate over. Winner Is Dark Horse. General Wood loBt heavily, however, when the Harding drift began, and Senator Johnson, the third of the trio of leaders on the early balloting Sat urday, also went steadily down hill. Entering the convention four days ago as a candidate distinctly of tht "dark horse" class, Senator Harding got only 64 votes on the first ballot and on the second- he dropped to 58. When the convention adjourned Fri day night at the end of the fourth bal lot he had 81. Senator Harding is called a "compromise" candidate yet he was the original choice of the "Old Guard" and there was no compromise of factions in selecting the man who nominated Taft; in 1912 and who presided over the republican convention in 1916. Harding fought Roosevelt in 1912 and never pretended progres-i siveness, and his selection is due to the control exercised by the! senatonar clique that wrecked the peace treaty, and their super ior political generalship. The convention itself, however, was re actionaryHoover was booed, and Johnson hissed, and LaFollette hooted. . i The candidate is of imposing presence and pleasing person alty and a campaign orator of ability, but his record of achieve ment contrasts rather meagerly with that of some of the defeated aspirants. In fact, it is mediocre, and does not stamp him of presidential size. He is publisher of a country town newspaper, ha3 served two terms in the Ohio state senate, was lieutenant-! governor, nominated but defeated for governor in 1910, and elect ed United States senator in 1914. His record as senator is not lhut va'- above the ordinary and failure to win a solid delegation from Ohio to support his candidacy indicates lack of popularity in his home state.

But Jasper Jay always insisted that his own voice was much stronger than Mr. Crow'a And nobody troubled himself to dispute Jasper's claim. So Jasper Jay had little to worry about until at last something happened that made him feel quite uneasy. It was almost noon on a hot summers day; and Jasper was resting amid the shade of a big beech tree on the edge of the woods, where he could look ac ross the meadow and watch Farmer Green and his boy, Johnnie, and the hired man at work In the hayfield Jasper was Just thinking how much pleasanter was his own carefree life that such was the ease, because he fear naci no way or telling how big the un known might be.

But that is the Old Guard's theory of government they will do the governing and the presi dent will take the orders. Hence the selection of a party hack lunder obligations for the nomination to carry out the mandate of the party leaders The hymn of hate voiced by the senate against Wilson, and earlier voiced against .Roosevelt, was because both of these ex ecutives insisted upon being president and gave orders, rather than took them. Roosevelt avoided a breech, while in office, by compromise, but Wilson refused compromise hence the senate leaders want no president they cannot manage. In Harding, they have their heart's desire. Wood and Lowden "'the gold-dust twins" proved that money carries its usual curse, even in politics. "Bringing Up Father" add Jiggs and Maggie to the Capital Journal's staff of daily laugh producers.

Now by my" fig tree and my vine I sit and rest and make no whine of fortune or of fate; I view the world with failing eyes, but see the good that in it jies, and keep my smile on straight. And as I gaze I see old men who failed to save the shining yen in days long left behind ; th'ey slave away at dreary toil, and long to have six foot of soil in which to end the grind. There's nothing sadder than the sierht of some old crippled, weary wight, still toiling for his bread, still drudging for a meager pay, recalling money thrown away, and wishing he were dead. certain hotel men In the city who are In close touch with the visitors from Other parts of tho TTnlted States.
