REPUBLICANS NOMINATE SES WAKKEN (. HMilUVU REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WAS TICKED IN A HOTEL ROOM Harding, Who Didn't Figure in the Prinmiy, Was Selenteil Over Others Who Did. (By , DAVID LAWRENCE In the Greensboro News.) Chicago, June 14. Harry Daugh- orty matte a mistake. Three mouths ago as campaign manager for Warren U. Hardlitg, he predicted that about 2:11 a. m., "in a smoke tilled room" ou a certain night during the Republi can national convention, the next nominee would be chosen. His mis lake was on the time it was 3:11 a. m. That conference will go down in the history of politics as the final breakdown of the American primary system so far as selecting presidential nominees Is concerned. Senator Hard ing had carried his own state In the primaries only with the greatest dif tlculty and did not figure prominently in the nominating campaign in any other state. Wood and Johnson car ried many state but were side-tracked by the leaders of the Republican party and Mr. Harding was chosen because he was the only man upon whom an agreement could be reached. Many a prominent man was present at the fateful conference. Represen- Ihiltfaa nr nil tlm ii lift M !! Upl'e Oil llcan .bulwark in this county. Is high- , . M,nator. managers and y pieaseu uer ('.

United Slates Senator from Ohio, was nominated tor the presidency Saturday by the Krptiblitan nat.oual convention after a ueadlock Which lasted for nine bal lots and which finally forced out of the running ail the original tavor ites. As his running mate, the conven tion named Governor Calvin Cooiidge of Massachusetts, upsetting a plan of a combination of the Harding back ers to nominate for the place Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. Entering the convention four days ago as a candidate distinctly of the "dark horse" class, Senator Hardiug got only sixty-four votes on the first ballot yesterday and on the second he dropped to fifty-six. When the convention adjourned last night at the end of the fourth ballot he had sixty-one. In all night conferences among the party chiefs, however, he was men tioned many times as the most live ly to break the nomination deadlock should neither Wood, Lowden nor Johnson take a commanding lead to day. They all failed to do so. Wood and Lowden running a neck and neck race for leadership on four more bal lots, while the strength of the Cali fornia candidate dwindled steadily. Meanwhile Harding pushed his to tal to 133, individual delegates from many states swinging to him from the columns of the leaders and of va rious favorite sons. The Johnson managers fearing a landslide was im pending, then made a last play to save the fortunes of their candidate. They moved to recess for a couple of hours in order to take an Inventory and seek a new combination. The Wood and Lowden forces, both virt ually at the peak of their strength, but both disheartened at the long string of ballots without material gains, fell In with the recess plan and the convention adopted it. In the dramatic succession of con ferences that followed the fate of the candidates, virtually was sealed. Some of the Wood and Lowden man agers tried ineffectually for an agree ment which would hold their dele gates In line and kill off the Harding boom. Some tried to get a Wood, Lowden, Johnson agreement to ad journ until Monday without making a nomination. There was also conference between Johnson and Harding supporters In which the Ohloan supporters tried without suc cess to have the remaining Johnson strength swung to Harding.

The skill of an airplane flying straight ahead or executing hair-raising eaneouvers is now quite common in almost every part of the country, but the actual method of guiding the winged craft is stilt a source of won der to the average layman who be lieves steering an automobile Is a much easier and simpler task. Filots who have driven both airplanes and automobiles generally agree that the latter offers more worries, because there are more things with which to collide on the ground than in the air. An advantage that the airplane has over the automobile, they will point out, is that it can ascend and descend besides turning to the right or left. In other words, a motor car Is guided by two dimensions while an airplane is controlled by three. With a view of making clear to the layrnan Just how an airplane is con trolled. Charles E. Willard. chief ae ronautical engineer of the Aeroma- rlne and Motor Company, has written the following article for the public: "It may be thought that there Is no natural method of controlling an air plane, since man Is Just taking his place among the birds, but in the samt way that automobile manufact ers made driving a car natural when men had only driven horses before the motorcar era, airplane builders have worked out systems of steering which soon! become Instinctive with the av erage man. "The main control In a plane Is either a stick or a wheel. In lighter land machines the joystick In gener ally Used, while In heavier and larger planes and In Hying boats the wheel Is substituted as a matter of comfort The wheel is mounted on a control column which moves fo:-;nd and backward W the eMorgenry brake or Rear lever of an autjraoliiK It Ic the ii'ost important control im'mber, for not only does It control ascent ar.d descent, but It also takes care of banking, for elevating or. wing and depressing the other 1 1 making turns, and conversely, of keeping the plane on an even keel in gutty weather. . "light here I want to correct an Impression most people have that guiding a plane is a nerve-racking af fair, requiring constant attention. An airplane Is not poised In the sky as if balancing on a pin point. It Is swim- course slants the plane downward. When the stick is pulled back the el evator in the tail moves so that the air hits its upper surface, depressing the tail and consequently raising the forward end of the machine. "The banking of the plane is ctn t rolled by two small movable planes at the bark eune of each wing tip. A movement of the wheel to the wheel to the right raises the small plane, or aileron, on the right wing and at the same time lowers that on the left wing. The raising of the rinht ailer on gives the right wing less surface to uphold in the air, while at the same moment the lowering of the left aileron gives the other wing more lifting power. Consequently the wing with the lesser lifting power tilts downward while the other goes up. "The vertical rudder, operated by the pilot's feet, is precisely like that of steamship. When It swings to the right the air strikes the right side and pushes the head of the plane to the right. Just as the water hits the submerged rudder and pushes the Vad of the boat to the right. "There are modifications of this method of control, and freak controls as well, but those described are the standard methods of managing an airplane here. For training planes two sets of controls, one in each cock pit are used. In certain types of ae- romarine boats pilot and passenger sit side by side, each with a wheel before him and with foot bars. This makes It possible in training begin ners or on long Journeys to alternate the control of the 'ship'." Mr. Willard did not take up stunt flying In his statement, since, as he said. It played no part in modern commercial aviation. Stunt flying was camparable to road racing with automobiles, and was not part of the training of the average pilot or auto-mobilist.

This little Central Ohio city of nearly 35.000 people went wild with Joy and en thusiasm tonight when It learned that one of its citizens. Warren O.

Marion started cele brating what it considered a sure thing. Factory whistles were tooted, church bells were rung and Harding's friends and neighbors gathered on the streets In shouting, laughing groups. No one was at the Harding home to receive the news. The house, on9 of the modest dwellings of the city, was dark.

Some queer inter-relations exist in this world. Can you Imagine the ae roplane business having a serious ef fect on the fiah business? Yet It did during the war. It seems that fresh water Dsh are not strong but they are smart. Salt water fish, on the other hand, are not smart but they are very strong. Fish nets are usually made from linen thread, but during the war the British government bought up all linen thread for use In the manufact ure of aeroplanes. So (he fishermen were compelled to use cotton thread. Then their troubles commenced, and as one man expressed It. "The fresh water fish were too smart to go near the cotton nets, and the salt water fish were so strong they went right through them." for precisely the same reason tnai a pomni,ndinB and truculent because he ii. t i l u akiAHA i nrai'an r m - .... pitoi dbiiu in ,h- knew that he had to deal wttn a group 'Why do you think the contralto shuts her eyes so when she sir.ss?" she asked at the concert.

In the same way a plane at high speed is banked according to the sharpness of the turn. A well-built plane making a gradual turn will bank Itself, while for sharper turns the assistance of the wheel Is needed to prevent the plane from side slip ping or skidding Just as an automo iiiin skids on a turn. ' The banking is accomplished by turning the wheel to the right wtien It is desired to get the ship In posi tion for a right turn. The actual turning is accomplished by the rud der bar operated by the feet, for the wheel itself does not turn the machine The rudder bar is shaped like that or a steering sled. Pressure by the rUht foot brings about a right turn. The plane goes round In the beauti ful easy sweep of the bird after which it is designed. Thus the whole control of the plane or boat Is In the wheel or stick. Toolbar and throttle, while In the au tomobile there are to worry the driv er, the steering wheel, hand or foot accelerator, clutch, change speed lev er, foot and emergency brakes. The pilot also has the advantage of the driver in that he need not keep a sharp lookout ahead for bumps and obstructions In the road, and the only turns he makes are of his own free will.'
