Chicago, Ul., Juno 12.-Warren G. Harding, United States Senator from Ohio, was nominated for the Presi dency to-day hy tito Republican Na tional Convention after a deadlock which lasted tor niue ballots, and which finally forced out of the run ning all of the original favorites. As his running mate the conven tion named Governor Calvin Cool idge, of Massachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination of the Hard ing backers to nominate for the place Senator Irvine L, Lenroot, of Wis consin. The collapse of the forces of Gov ernor Frank O. Lowden and their transfer in large part to Senator Harding put the Ohio candidate well over. Gen. Wood lost heavily, how ever, when the Harding drift began and Senator Johnson, the third of the trio of leaders on the early bal loting yesterday, also went steadily down-hill. Entering the convention four days ago as a candidate of the "dark horse" class, Senator Harding got only 64 votes on the first ballot yes terday, and on the second he dropped to G6. When tho convention ad journed last night, at the end of the fourth ballot he had 61. In all-night conferences among the party chiefs, however, he WOB men tioned many times as the most likely to break tho nomination deadlock if neither Wood, Lowden nor Johnson should take a commanding lead to day. This they all failed to do, Wood and Lowden running neck and neck for the leadership on four more bal lots, while the strength of the Cali fornia candidate dwindled steadily. There were numerous conferences between the later balloting. As the I tenth roll-call began delegates qutt? Lowden, Wood und Johnson right | and left, and the big hall was in al most continuous applause as State after State announced secession to the Harding standard. It was reserv ed for Pennsylvania to add the; crowning touch of.enthusiasin,..W.beii f?flo^n'?to^^ non? in?te bim, and Pennsylvania gave him 60. ? When it was seen that a candidate had been nominated tho customary changing of votes began with a half dosen who bad Voted for candidates switching over so as to appear in the winning column on the last ballot. Most of Illinois deserted its Governor and many of tho Wood men, too, asked to have their votes recorded for Harding. Tho Tenth Ballot. On the tenth ballot the count gave the following result: Wood 156, Lowden ll, Johnson 80 4-5, Hard ing 69 2 V?, Coolidge 5, Hoover 9%, Butler 2, Knox 1, Lenroot 1, Hays 1, LaFollette 24. Not voting, 91. I Tho Chief Nominee. I Senator Harding is unsuccessful newspaper publisher. Since 1884 ho has owned and published the Marion Star. He has been in newspaper work since he was 19 years of age. When in Marion he spends all of his time at the Star office in the active management of tho pnper. He is a practical printer and delights in spending hours in his composing loom handling typo. I He began his newspaper career on tho Marion Mirror,which was a Dem ocratic newspaper, at $9 a week sal nry, and was discharged from tho staff of that paper during the Blaine campaign because his sympathies were with Blaine, and because he in sisted on wearing the high hat of the blaine partisans. Tho Republican Presidential nom inee was born November 2, 1865, at Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Ohio, just 19 miles oast of Marion.! When a boy his family movod to Cal odonin, 9 miles nearer Marion,where young Harding taught school for two years. He played a cornet in the Cal edonia Brass Band and later received a college education at a little Baptist college at Iberia, Ohio. When 19 years old Harding moved to Marlon to study law. but law did not bold his fancy long. In college be had been editor of the college paper, and newspaper work thrilled bim. It was thou that ho began work on the Mir ror, from which ho was "fired." His political Ufo began In 1899, when be wns elected to the Stato Sena to from the 13th Ohio district. In 1903 he was elected Lieutenant Govornor of Ohio, and was elected to tho United States Senate In 1914. Ho was married in 1891 to Miss'Florence Kling, of Marion. Golf is Senator Harding's partic ular hobby, and ho ls also a great baseball fan. "Law and Order" Coolidge.

RtS FOR OCONEE ANI> PICKENS O TWO ROYS AND TWO GAI,-LONS. Officers Take Two Youths and Two Escape--Got Some Liquor. Last Sunday's work on the part of Officers Jake Gosnell and B. R. Moss proved that with quick wit a fellow may turn a defeat In.tp victory. The two officers made quite a littlo "tour of inspection" last Sunday and were on the verge of returning home) in disgust at being nimble to find trace of some parties that they felt sure were using tho hottest Sunday we have had for many a day as the day on which to transport considera ble quantities of fire-water. Finally Mr. Moss suggested that the party take a little trip up to the Long Nose section and see what could be seen. ?And they went. And they found sev eral 1 fellows lolling about in varying degrees of, "spu?edneus." bul; they .were looking for the ''souse," not the "soused," so passed them up. Time passed, and it seemed that the day was a bad one for officers of the law in search of law violators. The officers were hot and tired-and they came to a nice little creek; and they took off their shoes and sat on the bank of tho creek, and dropped their big feet Into the cool water, and were beginning to be pretty well satisfied with conditions in general and creek water In particular, when Mr. Gosnell sighted four boys coming In the general direction of their loca tion, and each boy had a gallon bucket-and four gallons of syrup in such hot weather didn't look'rea sonable to Jake and B. lt., and as B. R.'s face ls familiar to everybody In this section who has ever toted a bottle of illegal booze, it was decided that it would be best for Jake to Interview the boys. But those youngsters had no Idea whatever of being interviewed on a Sunday and run the risk of being asked to interpret some of the Para bles. As Jake arose from the creek bank the four young fellows also rose to the occasion and demanded of their feet that they do the very best they could. Jake followed, but every second of time increased tho distance between him and the fleeing boys. Mr. Gosnell realized that he was playing a losing game, so he stopped short and burst into a great big laugh and hollered to the boys and asked what they were running for. It threw them completely off their guard and they stopped, and Mr. Gosnell asked them If they knew where a fellow could get a drink. Sure they did!-and ono of tho boys asked the officer If he wanted a drink Just then. "Yes," was the reply, "but I can't drink liquor without ! water. Como on down to 'he creek where a fellow can get something to KO with lt." Things wore getting real confidential like, and Mr. Gosnell managed lo slip his fingers Into tho trouser straps of two of tho boys, and they were walking along down toward the water, when one of tho boys caught sight of B. R.'s head. "Lord," he said, "there's Boon Moss down there"-and tue place knew Iwo of tho boys no more. They Just simply weren't there. By tho time Mr. Moss got on his feet tho boys : were dong their best about a quarter : mlle away-and were still going nt last accounts. And Mr, Gosnell was having troubles of his own. Two boys were pulling In opposite direc tions against him, and he began to ; fear that ho was doomed to hold two empty pairs of pants wi.en Mr. Moss ?ot hold of one and things becamo more calm and sorene. Then ono of the (wo culprits gave a quick twirl with his arm and a bucket of booze splashed lu tho creek. But the "lld was on" tight, and the vessol floated, and Ibo hoy who had driven the car for the officers Jumped Into tho creek and rescued the precious vossel with its contents intact and undiluted. Tho boys wore brought to Walhalla along with tho two buckets and were hold by the ofllcors at the county Jail until Monday, when they were re leased on bond and wero taken to their respective homes. Tho boys are apparently 16 or 17 years of ago. Their names are McKinney Long and Duffie Roach. The bond pitt up for thom is to secure thoir appoaranco ind distribute the Company for inties.
