Selection of Harding Comes on Tenth Ballot

of Harding and Coolidge Five Million

(By United Press.)
Chicago, i June 14.Warren G. Harding, United States senator from
Ohio, was nominated for president, and Calvin Coolidge, governor of
Massachusetts, was named for vice-president by the national republican
convention Saturday.
The choice .of'jSenator Harding was effected on the tenth ballot of
the convention, aVdcthe sixth roll call of the two sessions of the day, early
in which the impossibility of nominating either General Wood or Governor
F. O. Lowden was demonstrated.
General Wood went down fighting desperately to the last, but over*
whelmed fcy the Coalition of all his opponents under, the Harding banner.
Governor Lowdenj though he had forged ahead of Wood at the morning
session, found his strength, like that of the general, receding, and, realising
his continuance in the contest only would prolong the deadlock, released
his delegates, most of whom went to Harding and accomplished his nomina-
tion.
Harding received the necessary majority of 498 votes at 6:14 p. flk,
when Pennsylvania swung 60 delegates to his support, making his total at
that point 520. The result of the complete roll call on the tenth and .final
ballot was: Harding, 674 7-10 Wood, 167% Johnson, 80 2-5 Lowden, 48
scattering, 58 9-10.
Johnsop Refute* Vic-Pridnt Nonrinatioa.
The leaders were then convinced that Harding could be nominated
at the afternoon session and the selection of the vice-president candidate
was under consideration. Harding himself had called on Senator Johnson
during the forenoon and was reported to have asked him to take second
l*Folltt Delegate* Hooted.
Former Senator Flint of California,. a Johnson* delegate,- moved
make the nomination of Harding unanimous, and, seconded by Congressman
Frank Smith of Illinois on behalf of Lowden, it was adopted over the
protests of the twenty-four LaFollette delegates from Wisconsin, amid a
tumult of hooting by the remainder of *the convention. The Wisconsin
disaffection was widely regarded as an indication that LaFollette "may
refuse to support the ticket.
On the question of supporting the ticket, Senator W. E. Borah was
noncommittal. Senator Hiram Johnson declined to reveal his attitude until
he had conferred with the members of the California delegation, but it
was generally assumed that he would not repudiate the assurances he gave
during the primary campaign that he would not bolt the ticket.
Senator Harding was in the headquarters of the national committee
in the Coliseum Annex when he was-nbminated. He was talking with Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, New York's candidate for the nomination, when
Charles B. Warren, Michigan, burst into the room and, seizing Senator
Harding's hand, exclaimed:
