Delegate Otis F. Glenn of Illinois, the stocky, drawling lawyer who prosecuted the murderers at Bloody Herrin, was watched for as the man slated to place Candidate Lowden in nomination. Delegate (Mrs.) Ruth Hanna McCormick, daughter of the late famed G. 0. Politician Mark Hanna, said she had accepted the honor of seconding Delegate Glenn's motion. Other notable daughters were to be present-Mrs. Leona Knight of Providence, R.

...Candidate Dawes said last winter he would work for the Lowden nomination to the end. He will not do it at Kansas City. When the Convention begins he will be attending the graduation exercises at Marietta College in his native Marietta, Ohio. That is where he went just before he was nominated in 1924. Mr. Lowden had refused that nomination. Mr. Dawes instantly accepted it. It is improbable that that bit of history will even paraphrase itself this year. Yet it is also historic that the Vice President's relative, William Dawes, rode on the same errand as Paul...
...Candidate Lowden's hopes for a G. O. P. Campaign plank favoring the equalization-fee type of farm relief were further submerged last week by the announcement that Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, anti-McNary-Haugen man, is to be chairman of the Platform Committee at Kansas City...
