Where Strategy Failed.
Old Guard strategy went wrong in'
only one particular. Word was first
sent to the Kansas delegation that if
20 votes were swung to Harding
Governor Allen would be made
president and Kansas swung into the
Harding column. Folks gasped with
surprise, as they knew Kansas didn't
like republican conservatives as well
as republican progressives.
But that was the promise, and
being loyal to Governor Allen, tlx
delegation swung to Hardin-'. Then
came along another group and insist-
ed that Senator Lenroot be the vici
presidential nominee, and after Kan
sas hiad voted, word was sent again
to the Kansas delegation that it was
deemed best to name the senator
from Wisconsin for reasons of part
expediency.
Sen. Medlll McCormick made the
nominating speech for Lenroot, but
even the I/enroot boom was deflated
suddenly, this time by no wish of th *
