Harding Is Nominated 2851111525 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- | thm. 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 stone State was reported the Ohio sen-1 Son Born To Couple Married By Proxy Chicago Lieut. Rudolph Winter,' stationed at Great Lakes, who in No-| vember. ISIS married by proxy the daughter of an Italian couni in Ca ro,* Egypt, is the father of a son. Lieu tenant Winter met his wife while he was making a world tour. The story of their proxy marriage attracted wide atention. Mrs. Winter came to the United Stale a year ago and the couple were rewed at the Great Lakes •tat lon ator needed thirty-two votes to nomi nate him, and Pennsylvania gave him sixty. 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 roof. for the vice presidency, had the 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 place of the ticket before the first WARREN G. HARDING roll call hud gone two-thirds of Us length. Again it wuis Pennsylvania i which furnished the winning votes. Ilefore adjourning the convention ' adopted n resolution directing the na new rule for representation, which tional committee to formulate some 1 would eliminate the troublesome situ ation prevailing in the Southern stutes. It is in accord with the plan of cutting down representation. On motion of Mr. Hert of Kentucky Senator Lodge was appointed chair man of the committee to notify Sen ator Harding of his nomination for president and William Allen White of Kansas, chairman of the commit tee to notify Governor Cooiidge of his nomination as vice president. During the recess negro delegates, representing all negro votes, with the exception of three, called on Senator Harding, piloted by Charles A. Cot rill of Ohio. Cotrill said they had ob- ; tained a satisfactory statement from the senator us to his attitude on ques tions affecting the negro population and would throw fifty-five votes to his support during the day.

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.’’ Expert Typesetter At odd times he worked in the vil- j lage printing office, in time becoming an expert typesetter and later a lino- i type operator. He is a practical press- j man and a job printer, and as a “make-up man" Is said to have few equals. The luck piece which he has carried as a senator is the old print er's rule he used when he was sticking type. In 1884 Mr. Harding moved his fam-! ily to Marion. A short time after-' ward the father purchased for War-! ren Harding The Star, then a small' paper. On the paper Warren Harding per-! formed every function from devil to* managing editor. In all the years the? CALVIN COOLIDGE 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.

Labor leaders an stated, will be a condemnation of the before the federation’s convention be 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 pram an d the re is “not the slightest I possibility” of labor putting a party In the field this year. Pacific coast delegates, advocates of p, labor party, made use of the situa 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 (md report at the 1921 convention. If they get sufficient support for this proposal they are prepared to place ft before the convention before it ad journs. 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 pgainst the dangers of fire, shall be provided with approved appliances for phe prevention of fire.” Organized la fjor is also urged to ai4 in enforcing legislation to tend to safeguard limb, and property, as well as life, ROBBERS RAID CARUSO’S HOME AND GET FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND One Diamond Necklace In Loot Valued At One Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Riverhead, L. I. —While Mrs. Enrico Caruso was in the living room of the first floor of her summer home at East Hampton burglars made a daring entrance into the residence, broke open a steel casket in Mrs. Caruso’s bed room and escaped with the entire Ca ruso collection of jewels, valued at more than five hundred thousand dol lars. A burglar alarm attached to the cae- * ket resounded through the house and Mrs. Caruso immediately rushed to the telephone and informed Chief of Po lice Edward F. Morford of East Hampton that there were robbers in the house. Sheriff John F. Kelly wag aiso informed of the break and sev eral deputies and police officers were rushed to the scene. Among the jewels taken was one diamond necklace valued at more than one hundred and fifty thousand dol lars. The other jewelry consisted of ; rings, brooches and other valuables. The servants rushed to the lawq I and saw the headlight of an automo- I bile flashing away,, in the distance, ! Mrs. Caruso then called the police. Cabinet Os Renner Quits In Austriq Vienna, Austria. —The Austrian cab inet, headed by Dr. Karl Renner as | chancellor, which has held office most of the time since the armistice, has resigned. Doctor Renner presented the resignation shortly after midnight after a meeting of the cabinet with, representatives of the Social Demo ; crats. The break came unexpectedly I over the minister of war’s decree on. prmy discipline about which a ques tion was raised in the national assem bly the Christian Socialists. It is be lieved a new coalition cabinet will be formed pending the elections. German Government Has Resigned Berlin. —The government tendered its resignation to President Ebert, who requested it to remain in office pro -1 vißionally. The president also asked ! Chancellor Mueller to take steps so that the results of the parliamentary election can be established as soon ps possible in order that the reichstag may be summoned at the earliest pos sible date. Unofifcial returns from 31 districts for 380 mandates are about equally divided between the present coalition government and the right and left opposition.

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.
