GOVERNOR CALVIN COOLIDGE WINS
SECOND PLACE ON FIRST BALLOT
BEGINNING WITH THE FIFTH
BALLOT VICTORY IS GAINED
BY OHIO SENATOR ON
TENTH BALLOT
LOWDEN AND WOOD
LOSE IN LANDSLIDE
Senator Harding Entered Convention
Four Days Ago As A Candidate
Distinctly Os The Dark
Horse Class.
CIHICAGO —Warren (!. Harding,
1 United States senator from Ohio
was nominated for the presidency by
the Republican national convention,
which lasted for nine ballots and gen
erally forced out ol' the running nil
the original favorites.
As his running mate the convention
named Gov Calvin Cooiidge of Mas
sachusetts, upsetting a plan of com
bination <>t the Harding backers to
nominate for the place Senator Ir
vine L. I ..enroot of Wisconsin.
The collapse of the force of Frank
O. Lowden and their transfer in large
part to Harding put the Ohio candi
date over.
General Wood lost heavily, however,
when the Harding drift began, and
Senator Johnson, the third of the trio
of leaders on the curly balloting, also
went steadily down hill.
Os Dark Horse Class
Entering the convention four days
ago as a candidate distinctly ot the
dark horse class. Senator Harding
got only til votes on tlie first ballot,
and on the second he dropped to 56. i
When the convention adjourned at the
end of I lie fourth ballot He had 61.
in all night conferences among the
party c hiefs, however, he was men- i
turned many times as the most likely i
to break the nomination deadlock I
should neither Wood, Lowden nor ’
Johnson take a commanding lead. All i
failed to do so, Wood and Lowden run- t
ning a neck and neck race for loader- i
ship on four more ballots, while (lie
strength of the California candidate i
dwindled steadily. i
Meantime, Harding pushed his total t
to 133, Individual delegates from many ]
states swinging to him from the col- i
limns of the leaders and of various fa- t
vorite sons. The Johnson managers, i
fearing u landslide was impending,
then made a lest play to save the for- i
tunes of their candidate. They moved i
to recess for a couple of hours in order 1
to take an inventory and seek a new i
combination. The Wood and Lowden i
forces, both virtually at the peak of i
their strength. Inn both disheartened I
at Hie long string of ballots without i
material gains, agreed to the recess I
plan and the convention adopted it.
In tile dramatic succession of confer- I
ences that followed the fat« of the 1
candidates virtually was sealed. Some i
of the Wood and Lowden managers <
tried Ineffectually for an agreement 1
which would hold their delegates in ;
line anil kill oft the Harding boom. '
Soiiu tried to gete a Wood Lowden-
Johnson agreement to adjourn until ]
Uio 14th without making a nontina- |

Lowden Releases Delegates
It was the parleys between the Har
ding and Lowden men, however, which
apparently bore the most fruit when ;
jhe balloting began again. Governor j
Lowden came to the convention dur
ing the ninth roll call, and. reversing!,
a previous plan to go before the con
vention itweif. issued instructions from
behind the scenes, releasing his iu j
st rue ted delegates. Senator Harding ;
also wus in the rear of the Coliseum j
platform during the voting and con
ferred with Chairman Hays.
As the tenth roll c#U began dele
gates quit Lowdeh, Wood and Johnson
right and left, and the big ball was
in almost continuous uppluusA as state
after state announced accession to the j
Harding standard. It was reserved
for Pennsylvania to add the crowning !
touch of enthusiasm. When ihc Key- j

Governor Sproul Frees Delegates
It was Governor Sproul himself, the
candidate of his state on every preced
ing ballot and mentioned many times
as a possible dark horse, who acted to [
break the deadlock. Entering the Col
iseum floor for the first time since
the balloting began, he made his way
to the Pennsylvania standard, and,
amid cheers, released the delegation
from longer supporting him.
Second Place For Cooiidge
The plan to nominate Senator Len

backing of many of the men who had
helped put Harding over, but the name
of Governor Cooiidge stirred the dele
gates and galleries to repeated cheer
ing and he was swept into the second

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON. GEORGIA.
I The Republican nominee showed
' plainly his elation when he emerged
from his room with Mrs. Harding to
face a battery of cameramen.
“If you want to make Mrs. Harding
look pleased,’’ said the man on whom
the Republican party had just confer
red the greatest honor in its gift, “tell
her something about the price of mil- |
linery coming down."
There was a burst of laughter, in
which Mrs. Harding joined, and the
cameras clicked a lively accompani
i raent as the photographers adopted the
suggestion.
Mrs. Harding was beaming with hap
piness. Asked for some comment up
on her feelings as to the distinction
given her husband by his fellow Re
publicans, she said:
"1 am tremendously pleased, of
course. But I think my husband is
wqj-thy of this honor and I am content [
to be in the reflected light.’’

senator has owned it there has never
been a strike or a threatened one.
Calvin Cooiidge of Northampton,
Mass., although in public life in his
adopted state almost ever since his
graduation from Amherst college in
1895, was little known outside of Mas
sachusetts until the greater part of
the police force of Boston went on
strike in September, 1919. Cooiidge j
was governor of the state. He order- j
ed out the state guard to patrol the
streets of Boston after a night of riot- j
ing, and announced that law and or- !
der would be preserved and declared
that the strikers were deserters and
that their places would be filled by
other men.
The strikers never regained ttaetr
positions. Troops maintained order
for several weeks an da new police
force was recruited. The stand taken
bv the governor carried his name to all
parts of the country and in his own
state he was promptly nicknamed “Law
and Order Cooiidge."
Calvin Cooiidge was born on a farm
in the little village of Plymouth, Vt., on
July 4. 1872. His father, in addition
to carrying on the farm, was the vil
! Inge storekeeper. Coolidge’s ancestors,
jfrom the time of John Cooiidge, settled
in Watertown, Mass., in 1630, were
all farmers.
In 1918 he was nominated by the
Republicans without opposition for
governor and was elected by plurality i
of about seventeen thousand votes. He
was renominated in 1919. and. aided
by the prestige gained through his re
lation to the Boston police strike, was
re-elected by a plurality of more than
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
and received the largest total vote
ever cast for a governor in Massachu
setts.

TO TRADE WITH DEMOCRATS

Labor’s Policy In Its
Platform
Montreal.—The American Federa
tion of Labor, in convention here,
made preparations to offer the sup
port of organized labor to the Demo
cratic party in return for its accept
ance of the labor platform demands
which leaders declare the Republican
party has ignored. Labor leaders an

fore it adjourns. The first step, it is
i stated, will be a condemnation of the
Republican party, to be followed by
an appeal to the Democratic party for
incorporation of labor’s policy in its
platform.
Samuel Gompers and other labor
leaders were in session for a whole
lay preparing a plan of action. They
decline to divulge their decision, but
ft is indicated that “drastic action
against the Republican party will be
proposed.”
Delegates and labor ofifcials show
ed considerable sentiment for the for
mation of a labor party.
Those close to Mr. Gompers assert,
Jiowever, that the action of the Re
publican convention will have no ef
fect on the non-partisan political pro

Pacific coast delegates, advocates of

tion and pressed their plan to have
the convention authorize a committee
to investigate during the next year the
feasibility of organizing a labor party

they get sufficient support for this
proposal they are prepared to place

The only political resolution thus far
adopted by the convention provides
that “every be made by the or
ganized labor movement to the end
that schools, hospitals, asylums and
pimilar public or private institutions,
factories as well as other forms of
buildings requiring proper care

Lesson
(By REV. t B FITZ WATER, D. D..
Teacher of English Bible in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union)
LESSON FOR JUNE 20
THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD.
LESSON TEXT—Psalm 2.3.
GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is my shep
herd, 1 shall not want.—Ps. 23:1.
DEVOTIONAL READING Ezek. 34:
U-lfi.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL John 10:
1-18.
PRIMARY TOPIC—How God takes care
of us.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Shepherd Psalm.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Trusting God for Everything.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Our Divine Shepherd.
This is :t lesson so simple that a
child of tender years can understand.
The teacher’s work will be mainly to
point out the riches of its content, not
to explain diilicuities. Tile position
of the I’salrn determines its value. It
is preceded by the Psalm of the
Cross. Only those who are under the
power of tile cross can claim Its
promises. There are no green pas
tures to those who have not seen
Christ on the eqoss.
The relationship of the Lord to bis
children is set fortii in this Psaim as:
I. The Divine Shepherd (vv. 1-4).
The teacher should thoroughly fa
miliarize himself with the life and
service of a shepherd. As our shep
herd.
1. He feeds ids sheep (vv. 1,2).
The “green pastures” are Jor nourish
ment. The Lord always provides food
for his own sheep, both temporal anu
spiritual. He gives us our daily
bread, but our highest anil best food
is Christ, the Breud sent down from
heaven for our souls (John 6:58), of
which if we eat we shall live forever.
2. He gives rest (v. 2). He not only
gives food, hut he inaUeth his sheep
to lie down. When the sheep have
been satisfied witli food they lie down
to rest. Our Suite natures require
rest —we cannot go on forever, so the
Divine Shepherd lias arranged rest
ing places on the way, two of which
are night and the Sabbath. How sweet
they both are to the Child of God!
Sometimes - lie makes us to take en
forced rest, it is most comforting to
know that when lie makes us lie down
it is in the green pastures, not on the
dusty road or the rocky mountain side.
Our shepherd sometimes leads us over
steep and rocky roads, hut this is in
order that we may reach the spots of
green pasture.
3. He keeps the sheep in safety (v.
3). He restores our souls. The rest
by the still water results In the
restoration of bodily and spiritual
strength, in the times of quiet he re
stores the spiritual life by the feeding
upon God through tiis Word and means
of grace. The restored soul is led
into the paths of righteousness, that
is, in tlie performance of labor for
him. We have been saved not merely
for our pleasure, but that we might
do iiis good pleasure, that is, liis work.
We are saved to serve,
4. He guides the sheep in times of
danger (v. 4). He goes with his own
through danger and trials. There is
uu night so dark or sea so stormy but
what we can hear the voice of the
Divine Shepherd saying, “Be not
afraid, it is 1.” May we have ears to
hear!
5. He comforts Ills sheep in sorrow
(v. 4). The rod was used by the
shepherd to count his slieep. Passing
under the shepherd’s rod was the sign
of ownership. Such acknowledgment
would greatly cbmfort, even though
the rod was the instrument which
caused the sorrow. The conscious
icss that it was laid on by the lov
ng shepherd 1 *- hand would turn the
od which smote to a staff to lean upon.
11. The Divine Host. (vv. 5,6).
1. He spreads a table in the sight
if our enemies (v. 5). Though dan
ers are on every hand, the enemies
lotting and scheming, the mighty
liephert! provides a feast for bis own
i their sight. We can sit down to
at feast with the assurance that no
ne can disturli us.
2. He anoints our heads with oil (v.
I. Oil is a symbol of joy. There
Mould be no sad faces among Christ’s
■wn.
Goodness and mercy perpetually
ollow (v. 6). These are God’s two
ngels which encamp round about
hose that fear him. They hold back
he enemies from overtaking us; we
.■an feast at God's banquet table.
(Sven when the days seem dark and
.arrows come thick and fast, God's
goodness and mercy still follow.
4. Eternally dwelling with God (v.
G). They shall no more go out from
iiis presence. He who hath begnn a
good work in us shall complete It
unto the day of redemption. May
every one take this Psai.n for himself
and make Christ his own personal
shepherd!
Three Orders of BeinQs.
We have among mankind in geaerai
three orders of beings; the lowest,
sordid and selfish, which neither sees
nor feels. The second, noble and sym
pathetic, but which sees and feels with
out concluding and acting. The third
and highest, which loses sight in reso
lution and feeling in work. For one
who is blinded to the work of God
by profound abstraction or lofty pur
pose, tens of thousands have their eyes
sealed by vulgar selfishness, and their
intelligence crushed by impious care
lessness. —Buskin.
