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.

To be sure, there was Jasper's cou

nobody troubled himself to dispute

So Jasper Jay had little to worry
about until at last something happened
that made him feel quite uneasy. It

have chosen men of force and power, of demonstrated executive
and organizing ability and constructive statesmanship, thev
should pass by a Hoover, a Pershing, a Lowden, a Wood and a
Johnson, and choose as standard-bearer, in the most critical hour
pf the nation's history, a Harding. 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.

active in codifying the banking laws

other of his accomplishments during
this year was an extension of the work
of the agricultural college.
