SENATOR HARDING N
GOV. COOL
Named on Tenth Ballot After
Coolidge Chosen on First Ball
son Forces Make Dash
Chicago, June 12.?Warren G.
Harding, United States senator from
Ohio, was nominated for the presidency
today by the Republican national
convention after a deadlock
which lasted for nine ballots and
which finally forced out of the running
all the original favorites.
As his running mate, the conven
tion named Governor Calvin Coolidge
of Massachusetts, upsetting a
plant of a combination of the Harding
backers to nominate for the place
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The collapse of the forces of Governor
Frank 0. Lowden and their
transfer in large part to Senator
Harding, put the Ohio candidate
over.
General Wood lost heavily, however,
when the Harding drift began
and Senator Johnson, the third of
the trio of leaders on the early bal1

downhill.
Entering the convention four days
ago as a candidate distinctly of the
"dark horse" class, Senator Harding
*ot only sixty-four votes on the first
ballot yesterday and on the second
fie dropped to 56.
WJien the convention adjourned
last night at the end of the fourth

should neither Wood, Lowden nor
Tohnson take a commanding lead toiay.
They all failed to do so. Wood
md Lowden running a neck and
neck race' for leadership on four
more ballots, while the strength of
:he#California candidate dwindled
steadily.
Meanwhile Harding pushed his to:al
to 133, individual delegates from
many States swinging to him from
* i?
the columns of the leaders ana. 01
various favorite sons. The Johnson
managers fearing a landslide was
impending, then made a last play to
>ave the fortunes of their candidate.
They moved to recess for a couple
of hours in order to take an inventory
and seek a new combination.
The Wood and Lowden forces, both
virtually at the peak of their
strength, but both disheartened ' at
Innrr e+rinor nf ballots without
L'l 1^ .
material pains, fell in with the recess
plan and the convention adopted it.
Dramatic Conferences.
In the dramatic succession of conferences
that followed the fate of
the candidates virtually was sealed.
Some of the Wood and Lowden managers
tried ineffectually for an
agreement which would hold their
delegates in line and kill, off the
Harding boom. Some tried to get a
Wood-Lowden-Johnson agreement to
adjourn until Monday without making
a nomination. There also was a
conference between Johnson and
Harding supporters, in which the
Ohioan's supporters tried without
cnrrpss to have the remaining John
son strength swung to Harding.
It was the parleys between the
Harding and Lowden men, however,
which apparently bore the most fruit
when the balloting began again, for
Governor Lowden came to the convention
during the ninth roll c*ll,
and reversing a previous plan to go
before the convention itself, issued
instructions from behind the scenes
