VICE-PRESIDENT NAMED AFTER LOWDEN DECLINES Gets 682' 2 to 234'/2 for Hoover on Opening of Night Session?Gathering Adjourns After Witnessing as Thrillina s Climax as Ever Occurred In a National Political Convention. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET FOR PRESIDENT ' CALVIN COOLIDGE n? K' . Ilrhnl.lt> FOR VICE PRESIDENT CHARLES G. DAWES Of Illinois By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON Cleveland. O.?It is over. The Republican national convention of 1924 has passed into history. The delefates that gathered from every section of th? nation, including those from Alaska. Porto Rico, the Canal Zone and the far away Philippines, to perform a task they had been told to pert ">r:n. have completed their labors ami . altered to the four winds. At Cleveland they ratified the nomination. made by the rank and file of the Republican voters, of Calvin Coolldge us their candidate for the Presidency of the Cnited States. That convention is comparable to but few other national political conventions in the history of this nation. To some extent it was similar to the Democratic meeting at St Louis in 191ft. at which Woodrow Wilson was nominated to succeed himself. To prune extent, too. it was similar to the Republican convention held at Chicago itt 1904. when Theodore Roosevelt was nominated to succeed himself after having succeeded to the Presidency. just as Calvin Coolidge did. by the death of his chief. In all of these cases there was a lack of competitive candidates. The delegates had as Bemoiea wixn oui one man in view lor first place on the party ticket, anil those conventions, like the one just closed, were but ratifications of no.ninstious that had already been made In the minds of the rank and file of the party they represented. Man and Policies Ratified But the convention at Cleveland went even further than those of 1904 and 1916. It was not the man alone, but his policies that were to he ratified. In the previous instances cited the policies of the men to be nominated had been also the nnlirtoHMSl their party as represented in the legislative branch of the government. In this case it was. to sou*? extent at least, a choice between the policies of the legislative branch and those of the executive branch as represented by President Coolidge that the rank and file of the party were called upon to judge, and the verdict was almost unanimous in favor of the executive branch. Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, the temporary chairman. In hif. keynote address at the op-nils? stbsioa on Tuesday noc:: touched a t popular chord when he said: "With sdme 'disappointment is one 1 whose public service ha*, bct-n in a legislative position, truth compels me to say that by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Coolidge rather than to Congress for leadership." That reference to the man and the policies the delegates were assembled to ratify brought forth the first and one of the notable demonstrations of the convention. Several times in that keynote speech Representative Burton took occasion to emphasize those policies ox toe rresiaenx as ooing me poncies of the party, though they differed from those of the representatives of the majority of the members of the party in the legislative branch of the government. He referred to this in connection with the subject of soldier bonus legislation, with tax legislation and with Japanese exclusion. On the latter subject he said: "It is regretted that in the passage of the recent bill the request of f!ie President for time ; for further negotiations with Japan . was refused." Throughout the entire speech the keynoter praised the policies of the President rather than those of the Republican representatives in the legislative branch wherever the two policies differed. But of Congress he said: "Much of the blame visited ' upon Republicans in the present Con- j gress is not deserved because on | many major questions their party has : not commanded a majority in either branch." Many of the men whose faces have been familiar at Republican national conventions for some years pagt were not to be found at Clev^ton* at all. j others of the old time leaders were \ present, but they were there more as . spectators than as active participants. Senator Lodge, both the temporary ; and permanent chairman of l? last Republican convention, was pre-cnt as a delegate, bdt be had been displaced as national committeeman ?, ,.ii. .U.A'flEtt?fci THE REPUBLIC/ El!=Ss=Rl: CALVIN COOLIDGC of Massachusetts 'rom Massachusetts a::d Governor :ox had been chosen to succeed hini rh.Tc was evidence everywhere of a lew controlling force in the party, ind that new force, for a time at least, s Calvin Coolidge. personally represented by William M. Putler. the new lational chairman cf the party, and who will lead its activities in the orthcoming campaign. Vice Presidency Absorbing Topic The problem of a candidate for vice president was the perplexing one of he convention. The delegates had wished the President to indicate his preference, but his representatives lad stated that lie wished the delegates to make the choice. That was seemingly impossible The one outitamifng possibility was Governor Lowden. of Illinois, who had stated :e would not accept. Up to the time if naming candidates it had been loped by the delegates that Lowden would accept, and even after ?t had )een announced by the Illinois delegaion that his decision was irrevocable, he delegates refused to accept It, and in the second ballot named him as the Re pi;' I: -an candidate for vice* president, an i made it unanimous. Before the convention had adjourned a no ssage was received from t.overnor Lowden absolutely declining the nom.nation and refusing to ma. That was a bombshell. It was the first time in the history of the nation hat any man had absolutely refused to run for either president or vicepresident on either one of the major parties, but there was nothing to do but hold anothe** session, and elect another candidate This was done at an evening session, and the name of General Charles G. Dawes was substituted for that of Governor l^owden. : La Foliatte ?.^rhorw~-; The second saoject was that ot the attitude of the l/ft toilette wing of Cue party on the question of platform planks. Early in 'he first session on Tuesday there was distributed to the delegates copies of the platform proposed by the Wisconsin senatoi and his followers and ofTered to the resolutions committee by Henry Allen Cooper, the Wisconsin member of the committee. This proposed platform carried a drastic condemnation of the legislation e:ia<*Urd by both parlies during ?i -rul ; jct : ! uiuDtra'i I*. .db.:..:. i fo. he p.. 1 c qene.ship c*r vv^ttu power, th?* public control oi natural resources repeal of the Bsch < nir.m.": : I.v?v. publi- ownership ol railroads, drastic curtailment of war and navy expenditures, a tax on ex cess profits, the making public of tax returns, election of federal judges without party designation, a reduction in freight rates for farm products abolish injunctions in labor disputes protection for farmers' organization: and collective bargaining, granting ol a cash bonus to soldiers, deep water ways from the lakes to the ocean amendments to the Constitution t< provide for the direct election of Pres ident, a federal initiative and refer endum and a referendum on war There were some other less irupor tact planks. The whole question of the platforn was fought out in the resolutions com nnuee on Tuesday night and Wednee day. and when its report was made a the convention session on Wednesda; night it was adopted with but litth Cuss and despite the protest of Sena tor I,a Follette's followers. Reduce Southern Representation Political history was made by th? adoption of the report of the commit tee on credentials on WedneBda. morning. The party now Btands defi nltely committed to a limitation o repreeentatlon from the southeri states. This was done by providini for representation in- the convention of the party based on the percentag of Republican electors elected froc each state. It is so worded as to rati er increase the representation in boti the number of delegates and the mem bers of the national committee In R? publican state* instead of materlall decreasing either the number of delt gates or national committeemen fror those states that are recognised a distinctly Democratic. 'Political history was made in at other instance when !t was voted t give the women the seme voice i party affairs an that enjoyed by th man. The movement for this was la : Friday, June 20, 1924 * IN CA NDIDA TES qHj HkIBH ' HHH BESSSSBS CHARLES GATES DAWES * of Illinois ^ by Mrs. Me Jill McCormick of Illinois, J j and when proposed to the convention i it went through with but few dissent* 1 Jng votes and was ioudly cheered by , the women. Press Stand Puzzled There was a continuous commotion in the press stand at the Cleveland show. The gray heads of the newspaper world who have been reporting political conventions for years found it difficult to get a story out of this ; one. Not because there was not a story to he had, but because the story must have the names of people who . are ddfng thincs. and the mer. of the press did not know by sight the men. ' and the wonvtn, toe. If you please, who: j were the moving and guiding spirits / of the Republican gathering. The old timers, the tnen who have made Republican history for the last quarter of a century and more, Md either disappeared entirely or. tith but few exceptions, were In the luck* * ground. Tht-f were new aud in nany cases strange faces one saw upoa the platform. "Who is the man in the gray suit sitting beside the railing?" asked a veteran New York newspaper writer, a man who has covered every ccn^en- ? tion since the lat^eighties. *-.? |jg "Search me." said the man next to ll j him. another veteran. "One of tha [H numerous interlopers who have butted 1 into the game to make it hard for ua. 1 Ask Jim Preston." * And so it went throughout eucu i session. The men and the women , who to a large extent were doing things were unknown by sight to the newspaper men. and they were kept busy trying to catch the names of those who were making motions, reporting to the convention as chali^ men of important committees?the names of those who were running the snow, whetncr it be at the stated performances or about the committee rooms or the hotel lobbies. Among Those Present? The taces of sucu men as Senators Ix>dge. Smoot, Watson and others of the senatorial coterie, of Will Hays, of Harry M. D&ugherty, of Mrs,, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, of T. j Coleman duPoni. of Charles D.

The President and his advisers rather than the leaders in the legislative branch are in control. What the result of 1 the change is to be will be determined when the votes are counted next No" | veuiber. 1 j It was a strictly Coolidge conveny j tion. Quite as much so as was the e Progressive convention of 1908 at f" Chicago a Roosevelt convention.
