then Frank 0. London. lilinois'
war governor. was being urged for
the Republican \‘ice-i’rusid.;miai
nomination. and Dawes friends want-
ed it lor him. Dawes said: "Nomin-
ate Lowden.” Lowden was nomina-
ted but refused to accept and the
Cleveland convention then turned to
Dawus. The news reached him at
Marietta, Ohio. where he was attend-
ing his Alma. Mater's commenCement
Week. and he made this character-
isticiy brief statement:
"I accept the nomination by the
Republican party for the Vice-
Prcsidency. I deeply appreciate the
honor coniel'red upon me."
DaWt-s' last previous national ser-
vice was as first director of the na-

President .signed blank executive or-
ders which Dawes needed only to
fill out to make, effective, and his
budget making reduced expenditur-
es 8260.000,000. .
As a lieutenant colonel of railway
engineers Dawes went to France and
rose to be a brigadier generalrin

can expeditionary forces. He got

soldiers by cutting red tape. In his

in 1896 Dawes attracted the at-
tention of Mark Hanna. and be~
canto manager of. the liiinois cam-
paign for McKinley. who appointed
him comptroller of the currency.
Afterward he returned to Chicagb
and founded the Central Trust Com-
pany of lilinois. of which he has
been chairman of the board for set-
erai years.
Dawes is a devotee of music and
literature. Several years ago be com-
posed his “Melody in A Major"
which critics found meritorious”
Back in Lincoln. Neb., he wrote a:
book: "The Banking System of the‘
United States."
He and Mrs. Dawes are especially
devoted to their home and two char-
ming adopted children. Dana. 12. and
Virginia. 11. Dawes' philanthropies'
are numerous. but mostly unknown
outside his im’inediats circle. He
established in honor of his father
and mother the Dawes hotel for un~

"there was too much pink tea busi-

he headed the mutation; experts

Famous Pipe
General Dawes' “upside down"
pipe became famous and was used as
a campaign emblem. He never goes
without it. and his friends say it will

him a lot of trouble. After enduring
