For Vice PresidenU-Calvin Coolidg* of Massachusetts. Clou von lion Hall, Chlcugo. ?*? 'i'li** nomination ( or President was made on the tenth ballot. The vote on that ballot for the men who had been tb? leading candidate? waa: Harding? *t?H; Wood, 157%; Lowden, 12; Johnson, SO 4-5. ?.f After It la all over, that is the new* r It took Ave atrenuoua days to produce. That Is all the great mass of the pub lie will remember. But for those whe had a part In the contest It will be sn exiMM'icnce {o be remembered for a lifetime, and the convention of 1920 will go downln the history of tho He publican organization as one of the hardeMt waged battle* of the party'* existence. It was a battle oif which the audience aaw but little that was ?pcctacular? -a ahow that did not meas ure up to the expectations of the thou sands who had hogged and fought for and purchased tickets and who had Jammed themselves into the great building session after session, swelter ing and roaatlng and always anticipat ing something worth while, ? ' Public Missed Real Fiflht, The public did not see the real tight, as they were not admitted to the coun cll rooms where the~dlfferenccs of con testing candidate* wore ironed out or where the varying opinions of differ ent factions were botng reconciled so that a platform that could tit all ele ments might he produced. The un usual condition of the times had pro duced a wide range of Ideas. Men dif fered radically on Important? point s upon which the party must no to the public as a unit if it Is to i ive ?. chance of being successful In November, and It was not an easy task tlnd the com mon ground upon which all were will ing to stand. Every day of the flye brought Its threat of bolt on the part of some faction, and these threats brought adjustment al'tor adjustment aftor sessions lasting from but a few minutes to an hour or so In order that,, new conferences might be held a^l new efforts might bo made lo satisfy opposing elements. Greatest Stumbling Block. ? - it was tlie League of Nut Ions plank thnt proved the greatest stumbling Mock. The Irreconcilable* 0TII10 vpn uto, led by Senator Johnson, would nol listen to anything H?rtl suVored of un Indorsement of flu* League of Nations, with or without rcwrvni Ion. Another element, led by Nleholaa Murray But ler of New York, Insisted upon Indorse men I of the League with the Lodge reservations, 'and on Wednesday morn ing It seemed that nothing could pre vent a split on this plank. It was at this time thnt the political fcejilns; Kllhu Root, whs en lied upon. The ??ahles carried I lie troubles of the contestants to lOurope, where lloot is as.sisCiu^ In the orynnl/ai Ion of an in ternat tonal' court, and the cables brought biH'k >i solution that satisfied Senator Johnson and his followers ai|d which the others were willing to ac cept in tin- Interests of party harmony. There was ditllculr> apaln over the la bor plank. and again compromise was resorted lo to prevent h split. Mllcli the hit me thing Was true of the plank on Mexico and a plank on Ireland. In ?he end the Irish were overlooked cn-y, tlrely, jis i.olhliiii the leaders were will ing to <|o wu* sails factory to that ele ments which was demanding n strong resolution acknowledging the freedom of the Irish "Republic." For hours the Resolutions (^omiuit lee. headed by Senator Watson of In diana. fought hark and forth.

The distinguished Califor nlan referred to the League of Nations plank as Senator Johnson's plank, and both delegates and tiff audience ob jected. He referred ta the campaign funds of other candidates, .and there was a roar of disapproval. He fought back, and the audience and the dele gates fought with him. Prom that time to the close of the long seven hours and more Of nominating speech* as the orators might quite as well havo said nothing, an the audience heard nothing of what they said. Despite the efforts of Chairman Lodge the commo tion continued until the last orator had named the last of - the eleven candi dates whose names were placed before the convention. Magic of Roosevelt's Name. A feature of the nominating ami ?seconding speeches wan introduced by Mrs. ItohiiiKon of New York, n ulster of the Inti* Theodore Roosevelt. In sec onding the nomination of General Wood she referred to him as a friend her livelier, ami from I hat time- on pmcHTklly ench candidate was- refer red 1,0 as a friend .< nd heir of the de parted cv-prcsldeni. The hsilloHng be;?>tu on Krhlu.v night, ami I'mir ballots wei;c- taken at that' lime, on these hail.. is General Wood was the Iriiih'i'. with ? i..\ I'l'iior l.owden a fali l.x . losr ' veeorMi." After the first ballot m mot ion in jmIIoii' ii vmx made, but was promptly voted dowb oy a combination of tin* Wood and l.owden delegates, who .felt Unit their only chance to win hi.v in preventing fur. I her con forences on I he part of the leaders. Another elTort to adjourn wan made after the second ballot and a roll call of ihc states demanded. It, too, was voted down '.y the same com bination <?t delegate*. At* the dose of the fourth ballot Sena I or Sinoor ad vanced to tin* fron' of the speaker's siand and moved in adjournment. A roll call was again demanded, but the demand was ignored and an uye and no vote called for. I'oth sides in the controversy exerted. al their lung pow er In an effort to enforce their will on the chairman, but after a. conference of senate leaders on the speaker's stand the chair ruled an adjournment had been voted. Efforts to Effect a Compromise. .. Hack to the council rooms wivnt the leaders, and.. to these rooms were sum moned the men who were, directing the fights of the candidates. Efforts were made to bring about some sort of a compromise that would result in a nomination on Saturday morning. But ilu.' proud son and appeals in the inter ests of party harmony were all in vain. The three candidates? Wood. Lowdeii and Johnson ? who were leaders In the voting, refused to give place to any one on whom the senatorial leaders could agree. They wanted to let the delegates tight It o it on the floor of the convention and continue the ballot ing until the delegates had expressed their choice for the first place on the ticket without any Influence being ex erted on the part of the party leader*, and temporarily tin - won. A Seeming Deadlock. When the first hallo, was taken at the ????>?> ii?n of Saturday morning it showed but Utile ehiittge from those of I- rhla v night. Through Hie iir*t four ballots of Saturday General Wood and Governor l.owden were running neck neck and <?n one hit||?i were tied with :;i 1 1.; votes each " Again there came a demamffor ?d journtnent, and again the Wood and l.owden forces combined to prevent It hut without result. A r another con' sulfation at the ln.ek of the speaker's ?tand before half a dozen senatorial leaders the session was adjourned de spite the protests of n large part of the delegates. Dark Horse Appears. Aicovt Instantly there flashed through i he great building the rumor that the leaders had decided on Sena tor Harding as the man If they could fore* his nomination mm. I they were going to try. Could i hey do if I >id the leaders control enough delegates to name the leader of the party ticket? The gen eral iment was thai they could; that the uniiistructed delegates would (U) their bidding. Senator Johnson and General Wood refused to wluaw tlwU Instructed delegates, und on the ninth ballot the Illinois delegation stayed with Governor Lowden, the Pennsylva nia delegation stayed with Governor Sproul and the New York delegation continued to split among several can didate*. At the end of that tjallot Senator Harding lacked 120 votes of enough to nominate hlin aud it was thought for a time the leaders, were ? going to fall until Governor Sproul was known to have released the Penn sylvania delegation to Harding, and with that the effort to climb into the Harding wagon started 011 the tenth and final ballot. In the end all Instruct ed delegations were released, but many of them declined to change their last registered rote, and the final ballot was announced as given at the head of this account. La Follette Stone Wall. ATI through the ballotlug 24 Wiscon sin delegates had persistently regis tered their votes for Senator La Fol lette, and when after the last ballot had been announced It was .moved to make the nomination unanimous these 24 delegates Voted against the motion. It took but a abort lime to select ; (Tovernor Harding's running mate, Governor Coolldge, Senator 1. enroot of Wisconsin, Senator Gronna of North Dakota. (Jovernor Allen of Kansas and Colonel Anderson of Richmond, Va., were named as candidates for the place. There was but one ballot, Gov ernor Coolldge receiving <57(1 votes, and ft ft? u> ?? -WW ? ' i ?> llcan convention of 1020 was a thfng of the past. A Vision of Eloquent Women. One of the features for which the convention Just closed will long be re- j memhered was the participation of the i women. It Is doubtful If they had any i decisive part In the actual naming of ! the candidate other than the few who | were present as delegates. But worn- j en figured prominently on the minor ; committees, and they figured 'proml- j bently in the oratorical efforts, and j very much to their credit. At least | one woman seconded the nomination of each of the candidates for the . nomination for the presidency, and their speeches appealed to the audi ence because they were short and to j the point. Women were active as workers around the headquarters of every candidate. They gave out red and bine ribbons for General Wood, badges knd pennants for Governor 1 Lowden, served tea and cakes for Her- j bert Hoover and did something of a Ilk*? service for each of the candidates. At General Wood's headquarters j Mrs. Wood and her ./laughter had a handshake and a gracious word for ' every caller, but they refused at all ! times to talk politics. On the other I hand, the daughter of Nicholas Murray Butler way the real manager of her fa- I titer's campaign. Hoover 8howed No Strength. , Herbert Hoover at no time showed | any strength In the balloting. For the first nine ballots his total vote was from four to six, and on the tenth bal lot he polled nine votes. When his name was presented to the convention on Friday by Judge Miller of Syracuse, N. Y., a delegate from that state, he received n demonstration from the au dience that was one of the warmest j and most unusual features of the con- j vention, but It was not Joined in by the ? delegations. It was very evident that Hoover had no place in Republican pol Itles. NUTSHELL LIFE OF WARREN G. HARDlrtO . HORN? November 2. 1ST>.*>, on a farm ! near Blooming Grove. Morrow coun- 1 ty, O.
