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.
