San Francisco correspondent accuses Senator Harding of a secret deal with Thomas Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co to secure the nomination. The report details alleged conversations with Hiram Johnson and Wood, claiming Lamont told Harding of a forthcoming nominating push.
A Marion Star critique traces Harding’s past praise and attacks on Theodore Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson, detailing accusations of fakery, greed for power, and betrayal. The piece argues Harding is cultivating former progressives while distorting their records to court support.
The piece portrays Republican critics as hostile to De Valera and hints at potential denials or affirmations by Harding or Johnson. It emphasizes American interest in the story and suggests intra party tensions over Ireland policy and leadership.
A Irish leader presses for a self determination plank in the Republican platform while U S figures argue over responsibility and delivery. De Valera faced mounting pressure as supporters and opponents in Congress debate Irish sympathy resolutions and funding moves tied to Irish bonds.
A Chicago report from Tammany leaders in transit to San Francisco urges ending two-thirds and unit rules. They argue both suppress district voices and enable bosses to override party will, noting O Gorman’s Baltimore defiance and urging the convention to adopt simple majority rule.
The passage notes Root’s satisfaction with the platform and mentions Thomas Lamont of Marsan & Company as a client. It hints that Root will not be faulted and contrasts an assertive stance with Teague of nations, implying a guarded stance against opposition.
Dr James I Vance notes how adolescent skepticism can mock religious instruction and moral aims. A nineteen year old boy, once pious and teaching Sunday school, declares atheism after probing logic and experience, then faces harsh ridicule from a bad man and questions of faith, hope, and the future.
The St Louis Post-Dispatch argues for river development to fix transport bottlenecks and move grain to market. Texas and Oklahoma crop reports show strong potential but lack of cars and storage hampers marketing, urging Congress to back river projects and leaders who will push action.
Hiram Johnson and William Borah remained silent on the convention, refusing comment while in Washington with Harding. Johnson, in the same hotel as Hughes, did not call and would not identify as a Republican when questioned. He promised to return to California and possibly issue a statement later.
A fragmentary notice discusses Mr Hoover as a lifelong Republican and New York City political figure who lived in England. It asserts his ongoing Republican allegiance though its clarity is muddled by garbled wording and stray criticisms of English and American identity.
From the London Times the prince of Wales undergoes a grand equatorial initiation aboard the ship en route to Suva. Neptune presides with a revelry of rockets, water jets, and a sea crew investiture awarding humorous royal orders while sailors greet the royal guest with mock homage and a bath ceremony.
Mark Sullivan argues in Collier's Weekly that if Hoover had kept a nonpartisan stance, he could have been seen as the inevitable Democratic nominee after the Republican convention. The piece contends Hoover squandered this position, forfeiting a chance to guide Americans on Europe and maintain public benevolence and idealism that many still seek from him.
A Philadelphia Record analysis notes few 1920s GOP leaders sport facial hair. It contrasts Hughes and Taft era figures with the many hairless names like Hoover, Coolidge, Harding, Knox, Sproul, and Johnson, recalling Lincoln and Grant as historic bearded precedents and mentioning McKinley and Roosevelt’s styles.
