Staff torretpondenL) Kansas City, June-13. With the selection of Herbert Hoover as the Republican pajty's presidential nominee a certainty, a wild scramble got under way today for the-, vice presidential nomination. One man stood out from the crowd, Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, but It was stated on his behalf he would not a4bept second place on the Republican ticket after going down to defeat In his drive for the presidential nomination. His strength came from the desire of eastern Republican leaders, particularly In the New York delegation, to name a midwestern man, friendly to the farmers, as Hoover's running Dawes and Xdg Leaden. With Curtis eliminated, Vice President Charles O.

Dawes and Senator Walter F. Edge of New Jersey were considered to occupy strategic posts in the race for the vice presidential nomination. Dawes was said to be willing to run' with Hoover and to have the tentative endorsement of -Secretary of -Uf Trury-Andrw Mellon. He was opposed, however, by a large number of Hoover leaders, and there was little sentiment for nun In the allied camps, because of his adathy during the recent campaign. Edge appeared to be In the most favorable spot He had the solid backing of the New Jersey delegation, tht active endorsement of numerous Hoover leaders and the tentative approval of Senator-Elect William 8.

Vara of Philadelphia, who was Instrumental in forcing the nomination of Hoover. With Vare's Influence behind him. Edge will be the nominee, If the outcome of the race for first place la any criterion. The "big three- delegations, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, 'were badly split over the vice presidential nomination. The NewJ Yorkers had four candidates of their own Theodore Roosevelt, Ambassador Alan son B.

Houghton, Ogden Mills and Hamilton Fish while the leaders were reported friendly to Curtis, Dawes and Edge. The Pennsylvanlans favored Dawes, Edge, and Senator Oeorge H. Moses of New Hampshire. The Illinois delegation contained votes for Curtis, Edge or Moses, while Senator Charles a Deneen had a small following. Wbi the CandWaiea Are." In all, tfiere were fourteen candidates, aside from Curtis, mentioned for the post.

Many of them may never be placed In nomination, but all had their friends In the convention crowds. A summary of reports, heard about the hotels and headquarters, was as follows: Curtis Widely urged but reported certain to refuse to become a candidate. Dawes Favored by Mellon, but opposed by Hoover managers, with little if any support among the allies, because of his apathy in the recent campaign. Edge Occupies strategic position, because of a belief that he can carry New Jersey and help to carry New York. Vare's approval aided his cause.

Deneen A real "dark hon" candidate because of the desire of -some eastern leaders to name a midwesterner friendly to the farmers. Moses Generally acceptable but hurt by his geographical location. Roosevelt Often discussed but wlth-m material support, due to his defeat in 1924 by Governor Al Smith of New York. Mills Discussed but with no chance DJLjBairiMHQn.Jd"e 1926 by Governor Smith.

Staff Correspondent) Convention II 1 1, Kansas City, June 13. A ringing and defiant challenge to the Democrat to "bring on Smith and we will bury him," marked the second session of the Republican National Convention today, while beyond the confines of the flag draped hall the sullen farmers and antHlooverites growled and grumbled and predicted dire things for November. The direct challenge to Smt.Sfed we Democrats was sent reveri through the vasV auditorium by Sen tor George H. Moses of New Ham! shire, to his speech accepting the per manent chairmanship of the convention, it was an entertaining departure from the usual cut and dried prepared speeches of convention chairmen and It went over big. Defies the "Enemy." Senator Moses, one of the original Hoover men, boldly took cognizance of the "defeatist" talk assiduously spread by the rebellious corn belt spokesmen and the anti-Hoover leaders.

"We enter this campaign," he declared, "in no posture of defense. Wt come upon the field aggressively mill tant. We Intend to carry this fight to the enemy. Ana we challenge them to bring forth their strongest "Whether he emerge from another spectacle' Ilka the one-hundred-ahd-three. round battle of Madison Square Garden, or whether he come from an over-powered convention held spellbound by the glare of the Tammany tiger, we are ready for him.

Bring him on and we will bury him. We will welcome him with hospitable hands to a bloody grave. "And we care not whether his name be Brown. Jones, Robinson or Smith." In every line of Senator Moses speech it was indicated that the Republican leadership now on the ground in Kansas City envisions the oncoming campaign as "Hoover against Smith," and Is preparing for it. vSome.OkjeU ol.AtUcBv And the- convention chairman provided a peek into the future by savagely attacking Tammany Hall by name, the dampness of Smith, the Democratic disfranchisement of the negro In the south, and Democratic fiscal policies.

Graft charges, too, were thrown In. It was a militant, fighting speech, and calculated to raise the morale of those Republicans whose confidence regarding November has been shaken by the bitterness and bickering that has marked the fight between the Hoover people and the coalition for many weeks. Text of Speech. The text of Senator Moses' speech follows: "We come now to the central and most important tasks for which we are assembled. we are to formulate a declaration of principles which will embody the essentials of Republicanism and with which we shall submit our cause to the people.

"Inevitably, in a party thoroughly national in its vision and contact- as ours is. there will from time to tune arise differences of pinion. This Is by no means the first occasion when Republicans have found themselves at odds regarding a question of cardinal consequence as affecting' party policy. Heretofore, we have succeeded always In settling our difficulties within our own ranks through that wlsesplrlt of accommodation which must characterise a great and far-flung organization like ours, upon which depends so much for the advance and prosperity of our country. So it will be won.

Great Sympathy of All.
