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

the speech 6f Congressman Rodenberg
ob behalf of Governor l.owden.
, When Judge Wheeler of California
started to prevent the name of Senator
Johnson the audter.co had had enough
of oratory. 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.
