A general view of the Republican oatldnal convention In sestlon In the big and Impressive Cleveland Municipal Auditorium. HEWS REVIEW OF CHUT EVENTS G. O. P. Convention Names] Calvin Coolidge and Charles G, Dawes. By JOHN 0ICKIN80N SHERMAN p RESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE 1 was nominated for President Thursday by the Republican national convention at Cleveland. Charles G. Dawes of Illinois was n imlnated for rice president Thursday night. President Coolldgd was nominated on the'flrsr ballot by a vote "practical ly unanimous." Before the first and only soli call wm half completed the story wa* told. ' The result was: Coolidge, 1,065; LaFollette, ? G from North Dakota and 28 from Wisconsin. 84; Johnson, 10 from South Dakota. Aftpr announcement of the vote Thom as Scott, the one lone. Coolidge dele gate la the Wisconsin delegation; rose and moved to ' make the nomination unahlmoub. But amid the mighty <$orus of ayes Wisconsin shouted "No." > "With the exception of -a very tew voices the nomination of Calvin Cool idge is made unanimous," declared Permanent Chairman Frank W. Mon d?sll of - Wyoming. THe one unexpected thing In the conventlon^r*!'.^ 'long sear^'fo? ajiuviiKg mate for President Coolidge. 'Kwden of Illinois would not take it. Neither w6uW Borah of Idaho. A host of prominent Republicans was considered ? Hoover, Dawes, Barbord. Curtis of Kansas, KenyOn of Mowo, Hadley of Missouri. Beveridge and Watson 'it Indiana, among others. None of them came to n nomination. Finally, In spite of his relteratel declaration that he would not accept, the convention Thursday afternoon nominated Lowden. Hard upon the nomination came another refusal from Lowden. Thereupon the convention took a recess to enable a committee to get in touch with him. He aguln declined. . ' Thereupon the convention recon vened and resumed ballotlr-. Dawes find Hoover were voted for and finally the nomination of Dawes wa; made unanimous. Charles U ("Hell and Maria") Dawes Is a national figure ? also a world-wide figure. He Is a college man, a lawyer and banker. He also knows his way around in politics. He has served his country well In several capacities. He was comptroller of the currency, 1807 02. In the World war he was quick ly promoted to brigadier general and achieved fame as the purchasing agent of the A. E. F. He got back Into pri vate life In 1010 and In 102' was ap pointed director of the federal budget system. There wasn't any budget, but Dawes quickly established one In good working order. It was when he was laying down the financial law and gospel , to executive department heads that he got his nickname. . As the head of the Dawes commission on German reparations he made the world sit up and take notice. CALVIN COOLIDGE stands for elec tion largely on two Issues: hl9 Republican regularity and Ills person al character. Events In the conven tion make< thnt clear and emplmtlc. Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, a G. O. P. stnlwnrt of the old school, sounded the party ^regularity note In his keynote address Tuesday. The LaFollette platform was rejected Wednesday with an emphasis and en thusiasm that gave convincing evi dence of the temper of the conven tion. The Coolldge platform whs an other proof. Then came the address of .Chnlrman Monde!! repenting the party regularlty-loynlty-responsitilllty note of Rurton and sounding n new note of the personal worth of the standard-hen rer of the pnrty and the conntry's confldenc e In his charac ter. Said Xiendell. who twice served his party as floor leader of the house: "Never before In our history has the need end the necessity rf depend able pnrty majorities nnd of definite party responsibility been so clearly demonstrated as In the very recent PML "Confidence In Coolldge 1b the most Important and outstanding fact in the political situation today-, nnd this con. fldence Is as fine a compliment to the American people as it 18 to the Presi dent." ; , It was President Marlon Leroy Bur ton of the University of Michigan who said the final word on the per sonal worth of Coolldge in his nom Innting speech. Tall and scholarly und eloquent Doctor Burton snld he cume hot as one engaged In political activity but as a personal friend to tell the convention. why the President should succeed himself. Then fol lowed a masterly analysis of a strik ing and many-sided character and a tribute such as only a loving and un derstanding friend coold pay. He pro nounced his friend "In the most thrill ing sense of the term an .American, who has been thinking America, be lieving America and living America. And he nominated "the virile man? the stanch American ? the real hu man being ? Calvin Coolldge. THE outstanding plank in the Cool ldge platform, >so far as public in terest Is concerned, Is probably the world court plank. Here Is Its exact text , ? "The Republican party reaffirms its 8tdnd for agreement nmong the na tions to prevent war and preserve peace. As- an important step }n this direction we Indorse. , the permanent court of international Justice and favor the adherence of the United States to this tribunal, as recommend ed te-Ptesiaent ' Coolldge., .This gov ernment has definitely refused mem bership In the Lengue of Nations and to assume any obligations under the covenant of the league. On this we stand." , . M' RS.JOHN D. SHERMAN of Estes Park, Colo., was elected presi dent of the General Fedet-atlor. of Women's Clubs Wednesday at the Los Angeles convention, succeeding Mrs. Thomas G. Winter of Minneapolis. The General Federation, with head quarters in Washington, has a nation wide membership of 2,500,000 which Is non-partisan and non-sestarlan. It Is easily the most-lnfluentlal body of women In the United States. Its ac tivities are manifold. Its political power is shown by the fact that It was n large factor In the passage at the Inst session of congress of the child labor Constitutional amendment reso lution, the McCormlck-Hawes act pro viding for wild-life reservations along the Upper Mississippi and the forestry act. Mrs. Sherman has long been a leader> In the Federation and has na tion-wide acquaintance. FIVE thousand doctors descended upon Chicago early In the week for the convention of the American Medical assoclotlon and gave the pub lic much scientific Information with out fees. Gland transplantation, de clared the surgeon, was no good : all the glands of all the nnlmnls In Noah'B Ark cannot Increase the spnn of man's life or bring youth to old age. In sulin, asserted the doctor, does not cure diabetes and does not remove the necessity for dieting, but It does bring back lost weight and strength und al lows the patient to resume a more normal life. Warning was sounded against the powder puff, the hair dye. nnd the freckle lotion as dlssemlnn tors of skin troubles rather than aids to beauty. The cosmetics which American women use yearly to the ex tent of ' ver *300.000.000 contain mer cury. arsenic and even pnraphenylen dlamln. ^ It was snld right out In meeting that If no effort Is made at birth con trol nature will taVe chnrze of the situation by eliminating those least nl.le to resist and the human plans I for socialistic altruism will be wrecked ' In the struggle for mere existence. Resolutions denounced those sections | ..f the national prohibition acts which I limit the amount of alcohol a phybl ?.-lnn miif legally prescribe. ' <nd r>r. William Allen Pusey of ! Chicago, newly Installed president, j gald that medicine, like the whole so cial organisation. Is proceeding trw wnrd s mgerous goal where govern ment does for the Individual what It ?hlnks the Individual should do for himself "The day will come." he nald "when there will n"t be enough of the population left for production to care for the administrators." JAPANESE are still showing their Irritation against the United States because of the exclusion clause In the American immigration law. Fol lowing the ruld by ruffluns on the for eign colony's dance at the Imperial hotel, Tokyo put In a Sunday of hom age at the grave of the "Unknown Martyr" who committed hara karl In protest against the act. A dockwork er was arrested In an attempt to as sassinate the' AtWerlcan consul geijer al. A circular Is being sent through the malls by Japanese .Christians urging the churches of Japan to sep arate from the missionary organiza tions. It also likens President Cool ldge to Pontius Pilate. The proposed boycott qgainst American goods Is progressing In Japan, but Is a failure In China. It Is not likely to amount to much In Japan, one reason being that we' buy more from the Japanese than they do from us. Incidentally ? and presumably en tirely by way of coincidence ? Wash ington announced that practlcallyvall of America's naval fighting forces will be concentrated In the Pacific next spring and summer for several months of maneuvers. The plans provide for a month of Joint maneuvers In Ha walln waters of almost the entire fleet and also for a cruise of the battle fleet, accompanied by tho new light cruisers, to Australia and New Zea land. MISS' ELEANOR MARGARET GREEN of New York was mar 'ried Tuesday In New York to Prince Vlggo' Chrletlatf" "Adolphe George of the royal house of Schleswlg-Holsteln -Sonderbourg-GluckBbourg that reigns over the kingdom .CZ' Denmark. Prince Valdemar, father of Prince Vlggo, who was best man, is an uncle of King Christian- and a brother of Dowager Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and of the dowager empress of Russia. This Is something new In In ternational* marrliiges, the bride being the first American woman to marry Into a royal family occupying a Eu ropean throne. The nearest parallel Is the recent marriage of Miss j.ols' F. Rooth of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, to Prince Erik, older brother of Prince Vlggo. Princess Vlggo Is a grand daughter of Abram S. Hewitt, once mayor of Nev York, and great-grand daughter of Peter Cooper, the philan thropist Robert Green, founder of the American family, came to Virginia in Colonial days. It Is stated that both Prince Erik and Prince Vlggo were required by Denmark to rep nounce all claims of succession <o tlif throne. ? i IT WAS a lively week In French pol itics. After Premier Polncare re signed and Eduard Herrlot, leader of the radicals, declined to form a new ministry, Frederic Francois-Marsal be came premier, with a "cabinet of a day.". The new premier read Presi dent Mlllerand's message to parlia ment, but his explanations and pledges apparently fell on deaf ears. So Mll lerand sent In his resignation, the presidential flag over the Elysee was hauled down and France was without a president. Mlllerand's letter of resignation was short, but he issued a communique to the people In which he bitterly assailed the left bloc ? the new aarllamentary majority ? for forc ing him out and declared himself guiltless of violating the constitution. He expects to be elected deputy from Muertlie ct Moselle. ? IS THERE to be n renewal of the 1 st ruckle between Turkey and west ern Europe which appeared to be ended by the expulsion of the Greeks from Smyrna? Even veteran European dip lomats are excited over the possibil ities suggested by an occurrence on the Island of Ithodes. Two thousand more Italian droops were landed on this Important Island a few miles off the coast of Asia Minor, where Italy's zone of Influence centers. A JuMlee followed the landing ut which the Ital ian governor declared : "Italy will never sacrifice the duties which she undertook ot the time of the occupation. Italy will make every effort to take ndvantage of the natural resources of the country which Tios been given Into Its keeping In Aala Minor." Diplomats say that this declaration. I | If the Italian colonial official had the : Muaaollnl government behind hlrj. Is | practically a declaration of war. DajcLchjS Enxmmcr Fairij ' A- MABY ? GRAHAM -BONMER ?? V. ? > NtW|??n? UHKJH . MR. MOON'S MORNING It whs almost morning. Such a beaif tlful clear morning as tt was, and though later on In the duy If would bo warm. It was cool and fresh In the early hours. Soon the sun would he up. but at yet Mr. Moon was the ruler of the sky. "Mr.' Sun will be here soon," Mr. Moon said, as he looked over the sleeping villages und towns uud farms and cities. "Hut I will take a little peep at morning Just as morning arrives." Mr. Moon sut up In the sky ? on the edge of nothing, It appeared, and soon he saw u little girl named Muhulla walking along a country road. "Why, there Is my little friend Ma halla," said Mr. Moon to himself. But even t f he had said It In a very loud tone of voice he wus too far away for Mahalla to lmve heard hlin really. He couldn't shout at her ? especially as morning wus coming along and he was feeling sleepy. "Why, there Is Mr. Moon," Mahalla said as she looked up at hlro. "What a pretty moon you are, sit ting off In the sky like that." It wals a shame, but Mr. Moon didn't hear that speech. He \Vas almost asleep now, but he woke himself up and blinked bis eyea and looked about him some more. Mahalla was still looking at the moon. She had been allowed to get up very early as she had wanted to see the "Why, There la Mr. Moonl" moon disappear and the sun rise for the day. And upon one morning she had been told she could do this. * Later In the duy she would probnbly be very sleepy. But now she felt wide awake and vers cheery. There teW somet&loig. so'HfrtsSB - and nice about the early morning. It made her feel so Ube' doing things ? why, she knew she could do anything now, she felt so strong and well and full of life. "Oh, It Is such a beautiful morn ing," Mnhalla sold. If It had not turned out to be a beautiful morning Mahalla had planned to turn over and go to sleep and- get up early on another morailg. But the nlght^Defore all the signs had been for a good day following, and when Mahalla Jumped out of bed as the buzzing alarm clock shrilly awak ened her she could see that the day Was perfest. A She gathered some flowers which were covered with dew. And she listened to the birds as they began to awaken and to chirp and to talk over their plans for the day. Mr. Moon up In the sky was very much pleased. "I'm getting a little glimpse at the morning," he said, "and It Is so pleas ant." "It Is almost like an early morning belonging to Mr. Moon," Mahalla said. "He Is up still and not muny others are up. "I think I shall call the very early morning Mir. Moon's morning time." All through breakfust Mahalla was so gay and so happy. The flowers she had plucked were so beautiful, and Mahalla was full of the early morning and of the beauties of It, and of Mr. Moon and of Mr. Sun who had taken his place In a roost magnificent fashion. She ha>1 loved the wonderful air of the "early morning. But as the day grew older Mahalla began to grow quite sleepy. But what did It matter?
