GEN. WOOD SEEMS TO
BE CHOICE OF C. o. P.
(By United Press.)

Pierre, S. D., Dec. l. Opening
guns in the 1920 national elections
will be fired tomorrow.
For the first time the Richards pri-
mary law will affect national cleo
ton and candidates for high offices
will be named by state convention OF
the political parties.
Each party, having elected county
proposal men, will be called together
by chairmen of their respective state
central committees to pick candidates
to enter the primaries. Republicans,
normally in large majority in the
state, will have the biggest conven-
tion.~
4 Gen. Wood Is Favored.
Major General Leonard Wood was
held up today as the most likely ma
jority nominee of the republicans.
Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois
is also expected to be placed in the
field. Leading republicans predicted
Wood would be given the majority
nomination of the convention and
Lowden the minority nomination.
Democrats are expected to give the
majority nomination either to Will
liam. G.. <McAdoo, former. director
general of railroads, and secretary of
the treasury; or to A. Mitchell Pal
mer, attorney general of the United
States.
Other candidates are expected to
be injected into the campaign by the
convention. u. S. Senator Hiram
johnson of California may be nomi-
mated by friends, if not on the re-
publican convention floor, then prob
ably by five or more protesting pro-
posal men who must file a petition
in nomination with the secretary Of
state after the conventions have
nominated.
Must File Declaration.
Each party filing the nomination
of their choice for national offices
will be- required to file at the same
time declaration of principles limit
ed to eight words. If an independ-
ent candidate files for nomination a
set of principles must also be filed.
Thus the candidates will be placed
on record on one or more issues.
The conventions vote by roll call
and each proposal man is entitled to
cast one-third of the votes cast in
his county in the last general cleo
tion, for his party candidates for
governor. Votes so cast are called
units. Each county is supposed to
send three proposal men to Pierre
tomorrow. 1t was learned today that
some counties will probably be shy
their. quotas but every county, ex-
cept one, has named at least one
republican proposal man.
The state proposal mems conven-
tions will name in addition full select
state tickets to be voted on at the
primaries in March.

RED CROSS NEEDS
WORKERS; QUOTAS
GARMENTS ARRIVE

Workers for shop and home are
wanted by the garment department
of the local chapter, Red Cross.
The chapter has three quotas of
chiIdren's garments to be filled
with all possible speed. The gar
ments are cut and ready for sew
ing and are very simply made, so
that any woman who has done any
sewing in her own home will find
no difficulty in making them.
The need is immediate. The
Central division states the tremen-
dous need as follows: "a repre-
sentative of the Red Cross has just
returned from France, after making
an exhaustive survey of the situa-
ton, with the information that the
need for refugee garments is great
er than ever before. Time is the
essential thing. Hours mean lives.
Call at the Red Cross rooms any
time of day. You may take the
garments home or work on them at
the machines IN the workshop. A
sample will be pYoVided whenever
desired. Children In Flanders from
where the Germans have just with
drawn, are now suffering from the
winters cold. II you saw them on
Rock Island streets you would do
everything in your power to cloth
them. They are not here. but still
you can do your part IN saving
them"
