Northampton, Mass, July 27.-;From
the ivy tower of Smlth' Collcgo the
chimes were clanging "Ancient of
Days" and "The Son ot God Goes
Forth to War" and the music floated
down the meadows and through the
elnu and yj)ws and poplars that en
close Allen Field. In the hollow of
'Cj field stood and sat a throng of
(en and women and their children to
day to see and hear Calvin Coolldge,
Governor of Massachusetts, notified
officially that he had been chosen by
the Republican party to be Its nom
Inco for tho Vice-Presidency of tho
Lnlted States.
It was not easy, to reconcile the
picture with politics. It seemed a
great deal more like a grange meet
ing or a Chautauqua gathering. It
was equally difficult to reconcile the
calm, deliberate, unhurried quiet man
receiving the honor with tho poli
tician. He seemed more like the
teacher or the preacher, and the crowd
it his feet, standing upon the soft
grass and sitting and reclining on the
shady terraces, his pupils or flock.
In a speech utterly devoid of bombast,
0: high sounding phrase, of rhetorical
strainings, he told that throng what
he believed, what he longed to do and
what ho hoped to see America do.
His speech, his manner of speaking,
his way of dealing with facta and the
sureness of his words' suggested" tho
sort of man to whom 90 per cent, of
those things we lament as problems
are but awkward situations crying
aloud for a vigorous application of
common sense. That's the way he.
Impressed strangers in Northampton
to-day, and Hampshire county folks
laughed when they heard strangers
say It. .
"Shucks." they'd reply; "we're used
to that. He's Just Cal. Coolldge, and
Cat. Coolldge Invented common sense.
Tribute From Democrat.
Edwin P. Morrow, Governor of Ken
tucky, delivered the speech of notlflca
tlon. The Rev. Dr. L. Clark Beelye, presi
dent emeritus of Smith College, presided
And. shocking as it must bo to disciples
of archaic law of political partisan
Alp, Michael J. Fitzgerald, the Demo
cratic Mayor of Northampton, paid a
tribute to his Governor thaUeft no.room
for speculation as to the Governor's
place In the hearts of Massachusetts.
Mayor Fitzgerald left his home, where
for a fortnight ho has been more than
Just slightly 111, to make that speech, and
later he said:
"If It meant a relapse, or worse, It
n-ade no difference with me. I could do
myself no greater honor than publicly to
(peak my belief In Calvin Coolldge."
The actual ceremonies, the long
speeches, made little difference to the
crowd that stood and sat in Allen F.leld.
The vast majority of that crowd -could
tiot hear the speakers anyhow. They
came because It was Calvin Coolldge be
Ir.g honored, and they accepted It all
with the air of folks who took It for
granted that sooner or later the country
would send for Calvin Coolldge and ask
him to serve It at Washington. So It
was In the town a spraddled, sleepy
town of elm shaded streets, lawns so
green as to seem painted, and white and
jellow and Ivy grown colonial houses
that the folks celebrated. From the
railroad depot to the Draper Hotel, and
from the Hampshire book shop up Main
street and Elm street to Massasolt,
where Coolldge lives In the utter sim
plicity that proclaims the man, North
ampton was brave In flags and banners
and wide streamers ot red, white and
Hue.
Here and there, beneath the trees
hung banners on which "Have faith In
Massachusetts" was mottoed. And now
and then you'd come upon a simple sign
"Law and Order." On the lawn in
front of the Edwards Congregational
Church, the church founded by the hotly
thundering Jonathan Edwards, fluttered
a small sign Informing you that' In this
church Coolldge worshipped. Beyond

Northampton band played the national
hymns.
All Churches Open.
All the churches were open as rest
rooms, and here and there along Main
treet and "Elm street the wide lawns
were thrown open' and upon them tables
had been erected and strangers were

Marion, Ohio, July 27. Senator Har
ding sat down with three men on his
front porch in quiet Mount Vernon
street this afternoon, and the end
of a two hour discussion had given
his indorsement to a nationwide ad
vertising campaign which In the next
few days will bring him conspicuously
before the American people in every
city, hamlet and rural district.
The elaborateness and completeness
ofghetproject may bo Judged by the
men who sat with the Senator and
told blm what they proposed to do.
They are William Wrlgley, Jr., called
''the gum king"; A. D. Loskcr, head
ot the Lord & Thomas Advertising
Agency, and Scott Bone, publicity di
rector of the Republican National
Committee.
Twelve words have been chosen aa
tho campaign slogan. What the
words are is still a mystery, guarded
with the greatest care. Not more
than half a dozen men know thos
words to-night In another few days
the projectors of the campaign declare
they will be known wherever men talk
politics.
The country will have to guess for
a few days what the twelve words are.
The first feature of the advertising propa
ganda will be a billboard campaign. It
la .the most extensive undertaking of Its
kind ever projected, Its- promoters say.
Billboards from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, will be displaying the twelve words
ana senator Haraing-a picture as soon
as the army of' printers and billposters
can get up the advertising. Then will
follow other features of the big cam.
palgn.
Convinced that the Democratic noml
nee and his party now are on the de
tensive, the leaders have determined to
keep the offensive In their own hands.
They are weeks ahead of the Democrats
in all campaign arrangements. While
Gov. Cox and his managers are trying
still to determine now ana wnere to con
duct their campaign, the Republicans are
ready to start before the country to drive
home the fact that President Wilson
still dominates the Democratic party
that the election of Cox means Indorse
ment of the Wilson Administration.
That Is to be one of the big features
of the Republican campaign. Senator
Harding not only has accepted the Demo
cratic challenge to make Wilson and his
League of Nations the issue, but Is com
pelllng tho Democrats to accept' the Issue
In spite of their evident desire to drop
It and make a quick shift to other
grounds.
"He is the man of the hour and the
country wants him," Mr. Wrlgley said
of the Senator at the close of the con
ference.

Aubotm, Jury J7. Philip Nlssman, 21
years old, a convict In the State prison

Prison officials declared the killing
of Nlssman was the result of a "gang

existed among many of the convicts as
a result of the election or tna Mutual
Welfare League yesterday. New officers
were elected. The old faction, of which
the secretary and sergeant-at-arms, es
caped several weeks ago, lost all offices
except one ptaoe on the board of direc

faction, and Indications are that his

Nkw Yoik Uzbald.
Saiutooa, Wednesday, July 28. An
attempt to tie up the unofficial Repub
lican Stato Convention through an ef
fort to defeat recommendation for the
Governorship of Nathan L. Miller ot
Syracuse appeared beaten at 2 o'clock
this morning, but at the same time
the word passed about the defeat
of the antl-MUlcr combine presaged a
hitter fight In the primaries that
would split tho party wldo open
everywhere in tho State.
This development followed on all
night battle of the Miller opponents
before a sub-committee of the con
vention's committee on resolutions be
fore which they sought to Impose
upon the convention a rule whereby
recommendations for State offices
could be made only by a vote of two
thirds of the convention delegates.
The Miller adherents stood out for a
majority vote for recommendation,
and word came that the sub-committee
would report this morning to
the full committee favoring the latter
rule, It was obvious that the antl
Miller faction was beaten.
There was a chance that the beaten
leaders might appeal on the conven
tion floor through a minority report,
but at 2 o'clock the word was passed
about that that plan had been
abandoned. It was said then that the
anti-Miller faction had taken 'tho at
titude that they were willing to let
Miller be recommended by the con
vention and that his opponents then
would carry'' the fight into lh
primaries.
Glynn Leads Opponents,
Tho effort to force through the reso
lutions committee the wishes ot the
combination of bosses was predicated
upon the hope that the. effort would
force the former Associate Judge of
the Court of Appeals out of the race,
either by eliminating him through
inability to corral enough delegates
to effect his nomination under a two
thirds rule, or forcing from him an
outright demand that his name be
withheld entirely from presentation
to the convention. The combine re
sulted from a feeling among the
Miller opponents that he never would
he able to muster a two-thirds vote.
George A. Glynn, chairman ot the
State Committee: Representative Bert
rand H. Snell, chairman of the executive
committee ; George W. Aldridge, Monroe
county learder ; William L. Ward. West
cheater leader, and Samuel S. Koenlg,
New York county leader, refused at the
outset to accept the two-thirds rule.
They told former Governor Benjamin B.
Odell and Frederick Grelner, of Erie
county, representing the antl-Mlller com
bine, that they would fight the proposi
tion to the last ditch.
Senator George F. Thompson, not a
party to the combine at any time, de
clared the proposition to be a trap.
"They can get two-thirds for Miller. as
easily as a majority," he declared. "The
thing that gets me is that Horace Wll
klnion seems to be controlling this con
vention." The battle last night was In the sub
committee of the committee of resolu
tions, consisting of -former Gov. Hornco
White, Senator Clayton R. Lujk, Lieut. -Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Collin H .Wood
ward, leader of the Twenty-third district.
In Manhattan; Charles II. Betta ot
Wayne and two women. Senator Henry
M. Sage, chairman of the full committee.
Is an ex-offlclo member.
Lusk, White and Roosevelt are favor
able tb Miller. Woodward r believed to
be for Hugo, with Betts on the fence.
Sage, of course. Is standing with William
Barnes, who has entered the Miller com
bine In an effort to prevent any recom.
mendation. He belleyes that In a pri
mary fight 'without organisation recom
mendation for cahdldates Sage might
win the nomination for Governor.
Rulo Would Hurt Wadairorth.
There Is much criticism on the part
of some ot the leaders, and many ot the
delegate's are upWn arms over what
they say Is the 4mbarrastng posi
tion In 'which Miller's enemies are going
to place the part). If the two-third rule
is carried It will mean, they say, that the
convention Is likely to be tied tip as the
Democratic two-third rule tied up the
Baltimore convention In 1912 and the
more -recent affair In San Francisco.
Such a fight for recommendation might
develop considerable bitterness, they
fear.
In the face of this latest attack the
Miller forces tightened up, but It was
evident that they were, dubious
about being able to muster two-thirds ot
the convention for his recommendation.
Such a rule would give much heart
to those who are opposing the recom
mendation of Senator James W. Wads
worth for renomlnatton. In order that
the two-thirds proposition might be
thrown into the committee on resolu
tions, I'niilp Eltlng, one of tts.framers,

WAsnmoTON, July 27. Victory for
Soviet Russia over Poland would re
sult In Bolshevism sweeping all of
Europe and eventually the entire
world. In the opinion of Gen. Eric
Ludendorff, the Gorman war leader.
His views are set forth In a specially
prepared and hitherto unpublished
memorandum on the "Dangers of Bol
shevism," written last month and re
ceived here to-day In official circles.
"Poland's fall will entail tho fall of
Germany and Czocho-Slovakia," Gen.
Ludendorff says. 'Their neighbors to
the north and south will follow. Fate
steps along with elementary force.
Let no one believe it will come to a
stand without enveloping Italy. France
and England In Its hideous colls. Not
even tho seven seas can stop It.
"Bolshevism Is a monster that must
advance to exist I Is advancing now
and In a grndual progress from East
to West and Is crushing everything be
tween the Midland Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean.
'The world at Urge must, therefore,
tlfifft with a Bolshevist advance In
Poland toward Berlin and Prague. The
moment-will come when the Bolshevist
armies '-wilt menace Germany and
Csecho-Slovakla directly. Lenjne has ad
vanced his lines to the frontiers ot
China, Afghanistan. Persia and India
and Is now pteparlng to continue his
victorious progress.
"The Bolshevists have England s
world power ,to fate In both directions.
but In addition to uiai wo m m
member they must face what the world
calls civilisation besides. A conflict be
tween the Bolshevists and England Is
not the only problem. The world could
afford to be an onlooker In that case.
The real problem Is a conflict between
civilization and barbarism, in which the
interests of civilised "nations are one.
They can afford to follow their several
ways, as dictated by their several In
terests, only when this conflict Is at
tended to.
"The prodigious combatlvo icsource ot
Bolshevist propaganda tackled both Its
farflung fronts long ago , with perfect
logic. We must get used to regard prop
aganda aa a combative resource of the
first rank. The Bolshevists make an
even more masterful use of It than
Great Britain, France and the United
.States did to compass theVruIn of Ger

"Their propaganda Is stirring the

Boulogne, France, July 27. Follow
ing a conference between Premier
I.loyd George and Premier Mlllerand
over tho Soviet plan for a meeting in
London, which lasted for on hour
here to-day, the British Govern
ment despatched a note to Oeorge
vltch Tchltcherln, , Soviet Commis
sioner for Foreign Affairs, laying
down as the first condition of any
London conference with the Soviet
Government that representatives of
Poland and of tho Russian border
States must bo admitted and that the
question of Poland and the -Polish
treaty bo discussed and decided by the
conference. M. Tchltcherln was asked
to reply to this note 'Immediately.
It will bo recalled that theso condi
tions are the same as those outlined
In an earlier British note, which the
Soviet Government pronounced unac
ceptable, contending that the Polish
question was one for tho Russians and
tho Poles to decide. .
The note despatched from here to
night was signed by- the.Brltlsh Gov
ernment alone, tho French still re
fusing tb take part in the present
negotiations, , which are undertaken
solely on Great Britain's initiative.
U, cannot bo said that the hastily
called meeting of Premier Lloyd
G eorgo and Premier Mlllerand,, has
brought a settlement ot the vexatious
Russian problem appreciably nearer.
Insist On Poles' Presence.
Premlen Mlllerand, proposed the con
dition of Polish participation as a sine'
qua non condition- of France taking
part In any peace conference such as
was being discussed. Also he. Inti
mated that this was not the only condi
tion which France! might Impose. It
was understood In official circles that
one of these conditions probably would
be that Amertcd unite with Great Brit
ain and France in any attitude that
mlsht be adopted by the Allies toward
the Soviet Government, or at least that
a pressing Invitation be extended to
America to collaborate with them, the
reason behind this being the French
fear that the British policy was In
clined to bo too favorable toward the
Bolshevik!, whereas the French hoped
that If the United States participated
In tho negotiations she would take a
stand mora In harmony with the
French view.
Premier Lloyd George agreed to the
condition regarding Poland, and the
conference ended with the appearance of
the two Governments being In completsT!
accord. However, there are many Indi
cations that they are considerably apart
In their views and that the conference
In London to discuss the, whole ques
tion still I a long way off.
The British apparently came to Bou
logne hoping to reach a prompt dec)
losnu nulling lo nam a yiuuiiii. uwr

left here absolutely disappointed with n"' X coming over here and
the result of the meeting. There was e Bri"1" co mini Americans al

antl-Bolshvlst leader, although the but very few Britishers, come here ex
French plainly Indicated that they
would bring Up these questions before
agreeing to go Into any conference with
tho Soviet representatives.
Feel Reds Won't Meet Terms.
The feeling among the French td-nlght
Is that the Bolshevlkl will not meet the
terinj' imposed to-day In connectlcln with
Poland and that peace In the Irr-n.cdlate
future Is Improbable. ,
Premier Mlllerand showed Premier
Lloyd George plainly that the French
Government Was not sympathetic to
ward the British Government's scheme
and that the Polish conditions were only
one of many France would havo to pro
pose before she could partlclpati In th
London conference with the BnU-.ievIkl.
The position of Premier Mlllerand Is
somewhat different from that of the
British Prime Minister. In that there Is
a majority In the French Parliament
who are believed to be hostile to nny
recognition of the Soviet Government.
The French gave the appearance to
day of playing for time In order ta con
sider the question further. In fact.
Premier Mlllerand made It very clear
that nothing he said here to-day was
to be considered by the British as sig
nifying that France Intended partici

as has been proposed. Marshal Foch
Is here, but he was not called Into the.

It Is understood that the French do
not hold that participation In the Lon

hold, however, that the conference must

On Boakd Stem Yacht Victoma,
July 27. As tho Resolute winged her
way to victory over the Shamrock IV.
late this afternoon game old Sir
Thomas Llpton stood on the bridgo
of tho Victoria with his yachting cap
raised above his head in salute the
tribute of a good loser to tho better
iboat
And then, turning to his navigating
officer, he said:
"Soil by tho Resolute. I want to
give those boys a cheer."
But It was not Resolute nor Sham
rock that won the most cheers from
the yachting fans on the flotilla that
lay off Ambrose Channel light vessel;
it was tho fine old Irishman himself.
As tho Victoria picked her way
through the fleet boat after boat
hailed her with siren shrieks of af
fection, a remarkable demonstration
paid to the sportsmanship of the man
who had four times failed to lift the
America's Cup.
As the yacht steamed up the bay to
her anchorage off the Atlantic Yacht
Club landing at Norton's Point, Sir
Thomas called the newspapermen into
his cabin and gave a final Interview.
Beaten by Better Boat."
The only thing I can say, boys," he
began, "Is that I feel we were beaten
by a better boat, and not by flukes or
anything of that kind. There may havo
been' some flukes, but wo bad our share
of them. I believe the American boat Is
the beat boat, and I feel as I always
have felt In previous races, wc were

"I can only say that I can .find no

Never able, for long to con tlnn In a
serious vein. Sir Thomas smiled at the
circle of reporters.

Hr ARTHUR F. ALDniDGE.
The America's Cup Is safe. It can
be put nway in the vault by tho New
York Yacht Club and kept subject to
another challenge. The Resolute, the
latest crnft built, by Herreshoff, the
wizard of Bristol, defeated tho Sham,
tock yesterday In tho flnnl raco of the
scries. The courso was fifteen miles
to windward and return and was
sailed in a light, fitful wind from
south-southeast Resolute defeated
Shamrock 13 minutes 5 seconds actual
time and 19 minutes 45 seconds cor
rected time. It mado the third con
secutive victory for Resolute. She
saved tho Cup after Shamrock, the
challenger, had two races to her
credit
After the finish the Victoria, with
Sir Thomas Llpton and a largo party
of guests on board, steamed over to
the victorious American yacht. Sir
Thomas was standing on tho bridge
and had with him Lord Dewar and
Sir John Ferguson, and tho Irish
yachtsman called for three cheers for
tho American yacht They were given
with a vim. Manager Robert W. Em
mons, Sklpner Charles Francis Adams
2d and others on board Resolute lined
up at the rail and replied with three
cheers for Sir Thomas tnat rang out
across the water, and then those on
the torpedo boat destroyers and other
vessels cheered the winner, cheered the
loser and cheered Sir Thomas. The
sun was sinking to the western horl
xon, a big ball of red tire, lights twin
kled out from tho vessels around the
finishing line, and the thirteenth series
of races" for th'o America's Cup ended.
Deriding Rnce Bnslly Won.
When In future years the record ot
the racf-j for the Cup arc read It will
be assumed that Resolute had an ensy
victory In the last race. There will be
no mention In those bare records of
what she had to do to win. or that for
a very large part of the race on the
windward ,leg the Shamrock led and
had she turned tho weather mark first
she possibly might have won the race.
Shamrock furnished a big surprise to
all who watched the contest, and Mr.
Burton handled the challenger so well
that Mr. Adams was forced to sail the
defender the best he knew how to win
out Mr. Adams, however, never sails
a yacht better than whe he has a big
handicap to overcome, and with great
skill and rare Judgment he carefully
took advantage ot every favoring puff
ot wind and finally succeeded In taking
the lead, which Resolute held to the
finish. -
Mr. Adams had to make a hard fight
In three consecutive races, but 'he had
the boat and he had a perfect crew.
All credit for the victory of the Reso-lute-'must
be given to Charles Francis
Adams' 2d, Robert W. Emmons, John
Parkinson, George A. Cormack, George
F. Baker, Jr., George Nicholas and
Arthur Adams, the so-called afterguard
of the yacht, who have worked hard to
build up a perfect organization without
which the cup would havo been lost

THIRTEENTH U.S. VICTORY
Contest Was One of Strategy,

in Faint Wind.
Tho America's Cup remains In the
hands that havo cherished and de
fended It for sixty-nine years,, and
America once moro has clinched her
title to tho world's yachting suprem
acy. '
In the fifth and conclusive race ot
tho series yesterday Resolute, in a
windward and leeward courso of thirty
miles, sailed in a light southwest wind,
defeated tho Irish challenger, Sham
rock IV., decisively boat for boat Tho
custody of tho coveted trophy did not
hang upon any question ot a time al
lowance. The Herreshoff crnft proved
herself tho superior yacht, and her
captain, Charles Francis Adams 2d,
again outsailed and outgeneralled Sir
Thomas Lipton's skipper, William P.
Burton.
Tho American racer led tho Sham
rock over the finish lino by 13 mln
uto 5 seconds actual elapsed time,
aftef having beaten hor tq tho outer
mnrk and greatly Increasing' her lead
during tho run home. Dy corrected
time, computed by adding to tho
elupsed time tho Rcsolutc's allowance,
tho challenger was beaten by 19 min

crossed the finish line at 7;52:15. The
challenger crossed at 8:05:20.

A Contest In Strategy.
This ls"""tho thirteenth successive
time since, the inauguration of interna
tional yachting, half a century ago, that
a BrltUh challenger has been defeated
by a Yankee defender for tho glory of
winning the America's Cup.
It was not so much a race yesterday
between the Resolute and tho Shamrock
as between the Resolute and tho six
hour tlmo limit Tho real struggle for
supremacy between the rival yachts
was fought out In the wonderfully In
teresting but not speedy beat to wind,
ward on the first leg of the course.
It was a contest In strategy between
the two skippers. At times ono had tho
advantage; only to have It wrested from
him. There w.erc moments In the wind
ward work when tho Shamrock was
slightly in the lead. But from the In
stant the Resoluto rounded the stake
buoy and started for the finish line sho
held such a commanding lead that tho
sole question was whether in the light
airs she would be able to finish within
the prescribed time limit She achieved
that triumph with a margin to spare of
nearly 25 minutes.
When the old lightship Relief was In
clear sight the sun was sinking rapidly
toward the horizon. The Shamrock was
nearly two miles astern of the defender.
Interest centred In the problem: Can
the American make It In time to end the
series In victory or must tho effort bo
again called off. with the necessity of
another trial to-day?
The Resolute was running along com
fortably under her mainsail, club top.
sail and balloon Jib topsail. She was
doing a workmanlike Job and wearing
enly her working clothes. Not once
during the day had she resorted to the
spinnaker tho dress suit of yachting
Tho Shamrock, on .the other hand,
loomed up In the distant haze like a
gigantic whlto cone. She was sporting
for this desperate final effort almost
her entire wardrobe and was flitting
down the course with spinnaker and
mainsail set wing and wing.
Finish In Llsrht Breese.
It Is 46 minutes past 7 o'clock now and
tho defender comes about on the port
tack. The lightship Is Just ahead and
she leaps forward toward It like an Olym
pic sprinter at the crack ot the gun.
On the decks of every ship In the obser
vation fleet men stand now with watches
in hand counting the fleeting minutes.
The time limit must elapso at 17 min
utes after 8 o'clock.
"Thlrty-flve minutes left!" exclaims
one; "dd you think she can make It?"
"Not on your life!" retorts a Sham
rock sympathizer ; "we'll be on the rami)
old salt sea trait again to-morrow morn
ing, old top 1"
Then the passing moments grow tense
with sustained Interest. The Yankeo
boat's champions begin urging her on.
"Come on, you white babyi" shouts
one, as earnestly as though Skipper
Adams could hear him. "Now hit 1:
up. Charley 1"
They breezA Is not a fast one, but It
Is holding true, belying the fears of
those who dreaded lest It might fall at
tho very last lap and leave the victor
becalmed and robbed of her crown. The
gentle air Is even freshening a bit It
seemed as though nature herself were
anxious to do her bit at last In helpInK
the white flier to hold the cup sate for
America.
Speedily the minutes pass. Resolute
