new committeemen and cominittee-
wotne nassembled to make Wm. M.
Butler, their campaign chairman.
Of course there is nothihg to do
but elect Butler to lead the National
committee It is the President's
wish and there are none to deny
him. But it is perhaps unfortunate
that the Coolidge Dawes ticket goes
for the post for the great quadren
nial presidential sweepstakes, with
its jockey sharply at odds with the
trainers and many of those conduct-
ing the race.
There were many rough spots In
the kindling of the vice presidential
nomination fight in the convetion
yesterday and perhaps still more in
the private room conferences which
preceded the balloting. Many of the
old time Republican leaders pointed
to these as indicative of Butler’s
lack of experience in National poli-
tical matters. Then, too, there was
much resentment that Butler —an
"outsider" — should come into the
party councils and attempt to estab
lish a dictatorship over a domain
long ruled by school politicians.

Coolidge’s running mate. He

LEWISVILLE, June 13. Mr. and

Derrybery, who was crushed to

pillar say, "I, for one. will wash my
hands of the whole business."
But men like Senators Reed and
Pepper of Pennsylvania. WadswGrth
of New York and “Willis of Ohio
decided to try. with the aid of some
of the old timers to put over for
the vice presidency their Sen-
ator Curtis—and didn’t tell Butler
about it.
But the shrewd Yankee manager
of Mr Coolidge soon heard what
was going on and served notice that
he would oppose the selection of
Curtis even to the point of carrying
the fight to the platform if neces-
sary. He countered the Curtis pro-
posal with one for Theodore Bur-
ton of Ohio, and the balloting began
with the situation there.
Butler's opposition killed Curtis’
chances nnd Burton was regarded as
too old and not the type of man to
appeal for votes in sections where
votes were needed. So, with their
candidate squelched by Butler, the
Senatorial clique turned to former
Gov. Frank O. Lowden to turn aside

Lowden’s friends in

nomination and after failing tried
further to discourage
him. but it was evident on the first
ballot that Lowden commanded mut-h
popular favor. ’He led tile field on
the first ballot while Burton could
muster only enough votes to run
fourth-behind Kenyon and Dawe*.
Burton threatened to do better,
however, according to Butler, so on
the second ballot Lowden was eased
over into a nomination.
Now this may have been done just
to show Mr. Butler what can and
cannot he done at a convention. It

tion wntt made and formally an-
