Convention 1 Hall, Chicago.—The
nomination for president was made on
the tenth ballot. The vote on
that ballot for the men who had been
the leading candidates was: Harding.
047*4 : Wood. 157*4; Lowden, 12 ;
Johnson, 80 4-5.
After 'if Is" af! over, that is the news
it took five strenuous days to produce.
That is all that the great mass of the
public ViR remember. But for those
who bad a pprt in the contest It Will
be an experience to be remembered for
a lifetime, and the convention of 1920
will go down In the history of the Re-
publican party as one of the hardest
waged battles of the party’s existence.
It was a battle of which the audience
saw but little that was spectacular,
a show that did not measure up to the
expectations of the thousands who had
begged and fought for and purchased
tickets, and who had jammed them-
selves Into the great building session
after session, sweltering and roasting,
and always anticipating something
worth while. 1
The public did not sew the real fight,
as they were not admitted to the coun-
cil rooms where the differences of con-
testing candidates were Ironed out,
or where the varying opinions of dif-
femt factions were being reconciled
so that a platform that would fit all
elements might be, produced. The
unusual conditions of the times had
produced a wide range of ideas. Men
differed radically on important points
upon which the party must go to tbe
public as a unit if It Is to have a chance
of being successful In November, and It
was not an easy task to find the common
ground upon which all were willing to
stand. Every day of the five brought
its threat of a bolt on the part of
some faction, and these threats
brought adjustment after adjustment,
after sessions lasting from but a few
minutes to an hour or so, In order
that new conferences might be held
and new efforts might be made to sat-
isfy opposing elements.
League of Nations Fight.
It was the League of Nations plank
that proved the greatest stumbling
block. The lrreconcllables of the sen-
ate. led by Senator Johnson, would
not listen to anything that savored of
an indorsement of the League of Na-
tions. with or without reservations.
Another element, led by Nicholas
Murray Butler of New York, insisted
upon an Indorsement of the League
with the Lodge reservations, and on
Wednesday morning it seemed that
nothing could prevent a split on this
plnnk.
It was at this time that the politi-
cal genius of Elthu Root was called
upon. The cables carried the troubles
of the contestants to Europe where
Root Is assisting In the organization
of an International court, and the
cables brought back a solution that
satisfied Senator Johnson and his fol-
lowers, and which the others were
willing to aecept in the interests of
pnr*y harmony.
There was difficulty again over the
labor plank, and again compromise
was resorted to to prevent a split
Much the same thing was true of the
plank on Mexico and a plank on Ire-
land. In the end the Irish were over-
looked entirely, as nothing the leaders
were willing to do was satisfactory
to that element that waa demanding
a strods resolution acknowledging the
freedom of tbe Irish “republic.”

pointed at the session of Tuesday, it
was expected to report at 11 o’clock
Wednesday morning, and the CoHBenm
was packed to capacity at that hour.
A few other formalities weds com-
pleted. and an adjournment taken to.
11 o’clock of Thursday. Again tbe
crowd came back. The convention
convened, Cardinal Gibbons offered no
Invocation, and tbe convention ad-
journed to four o’clock. With a never
eudiqg. interest the crowd,, wan agatfi
back at four o’clock only to wait far
two long sweltering hours for the
fight on tbe platfbrm which they were
anticipating, but which did not materi-
alize. The fight had all
behind the closed doors of tbe council
rooms, and with the exception of the
presentation of a minority report by
a member of tbe committee from Wis-
consin, to which no particular att
tlon was paid, there was no evidence
that there had ever been a disagree-
ment and tbe platform was adopted
with less than half a flaxen dissenting
votes.
A Day of Oratofy.
Po$day gave promise of being a red
letter day tor tbe audience and the,
fight for the coveted bits of beautiful-
ly engraved cardboard waxed m>t and
heavy. At nine thirty in the Boom-
ing. when the session opened, every
seat was filled, every aisle was
jammed with an expectant multitude.
It was to be a day of oratory, and
It waa. The first order of business
was the call of the states for the
naming of candidates for the nomina-
tion for the presidency. Arizona yield-
ed to Kansas and Governor Allen took
the platform to name General Wood,
The audience heard what Governor
Allen had to say. and attention was
given to the seconding speeches and
to the speech of Congressman Roden-
berg on behalf of Governor Lowden.
-When Judge Wheeler of California,
started to present the name of Sena-
tor Johnson the audience had had
enough of oratory. The distinguished
Californian referred to the League of
Nations plank as Senator Johnson's
plank, and both delegates and tbe au-
dience objected. He referred to tbe
campaign funds of other candidates
and there was a roar of disapproval^
He fought back, and the audience anfi
the delegates fought With blip. Froth
that time to the close of tbe tong
sev^i..hours and more of nominating
speeches the orators might quite as
well have said nothlng,as the audience
heard nothing of what they said. De-
spite the efforts of Chairman Lodge the
commotion continued until the last
orator bad named the last of the’
eleven candidates whose names were
placed before the convention.
A feature of the nominating and
seconding speeches was introduced by _
Mrs. Robinson of New York, a sister■ ed tttS
of the late Theodore RooeevelL In General 1
seconding the nomination of General Mm Wmo and
Wood she referred to him as a friend
of her brother, and from that time
on practically each candidate was re-
ferred to as a friend and heir of the
departed ex-president ,
Battle of Ballots.
The balloting began on Friday night
and four ballots were taken at that
time. On these ballots General Wood
was the leader, with Governor Lowden
a fairly close second. After thp first
