HERMISTON HARD'NG NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS Governor Coolidge of Massa chusetts Named As His Running Mate. Chicago.—Warren O. Harding, Uni ted States senator from Ohio, was nominated for the presidency Satur day by the republican national conven tion on the tenth ballot, after a dead lock which had luted for nine ballots. As his running mate, the convention named Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination at the Harding backers to nominate for the place Senator Irvine U Lenroot of Wisconsin. Cool- lüge was nominated by Wallace Mo- Camant, Oregon. Harding Was Dark Horse. Entering the convention as a candi date distinctly of the "dark horse’’ class, Senator Harding got only 64 votes on the first ballot and on the second he dropped to 56. When the convention adjourned Friday night at the end of the fourth ballot he had 61. In all-night conferences among the party chiefs, however, he was men tioned many times as the most likely to break the nomination deadlock should neither Wood, Lowden nor | Johnson take a commanding lead Sat- I urday. They failed to do so, Wood and Lowden running a neck-and-neck race for leadership on four ballots, while the strength of the California candidate dwindled steadily. Meantime Harding pushed his total to 133, individual delegates from many states swinging to him from the columns of the leaders and of various favorite sons. The Johnson managers, fearing a landslide was impending, then made a last play to save the Harding standard. It was reserved for Pennsylvania to add the crowning touch of enthusiasm. When the key stone state was reached the Ohio senator needed 33 to nominate him and Pennsylvania gave him 60. It wu Governor Sproul himself, the can didate of his state on every preceding ballot and mentioned many times as a possible dark horse to break the dead- lock, who announced the big Pennsyl vanian vote for Harding. Entering the Coliseum floor for the first time since the balloting began, he made his way to the Pennsylvania standard and amid cheers released the delegates from longer supporting him. Then he took a poll, got the floor and threw in the winning Harding votes. Final Ballot Gives Harding 692. The final check-up showed 692 for Harding, with only 12 left supporting Lowden, 157 for Wood and 80 for John son. At their best, earlier in the day, the Wood people had mustered 312 votes and the Lowden forces 311. John son's high point was 148, recorded third on the ballot Friday. The plan to nominate Senator Len root for the vice-presidency had the backing of many of the men who had helped put Harding over, but the name of Governor Coolidge stirred the delegates and galleries to repeated cheering and he was swept into sec ond place on the ticket before the first rollcall had gone two-thirds of its length. Again It was Pennsylvania which furnished the winning votes. Governor Coolidge got 674 votes to 146 for Senator Lenroot and 68 for Governor Allen of Kansas. Several others got scattering support without being placed formally in nomination. The result was greeted with another demonstration and there wu renewed cheering.
