delegation now at the Waldorf Astoria
to welcome returning Rainbow Division
soldiers, last night told the Indiana
men that IN no circumstances will he
consider a nomination for Vice Press;
dent, not even TO accommodate the
friends Of General Leonard Wood. who
in several Western states already have
started a Wood Goodrich boom for
1920.
Governor Goodrich would not discuss
thc subject last night further than to
confirm The accuracy OF the foregoing
statement.
"The people out our way hear more
about General Wood as the Republican
candidate for President in 1920 than
about any other said he. "Doubtless
that is due to General Woods closeness
to Colonel Roosevelt and to the fact
chat he is IA gallant military igurc.

might be "a good thing for the country
