REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WAS

Harding, Who Didn't Figure in the

(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-

Warreu G. Harding. 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.
It was the parleys between the
Harding and Lowden men, however.

(From the New York Times.)
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.

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."

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

' The banking is accomplished by

It is desired to get the ship In posi

The rudder bar is shaped like that or
