GROWING POPULAR.
PEOPLE WANT HIM;
POLITICIANS OPPOSED
to Obtain Sentiments of 100000
Boys Who Served in Army-Wood
Considered Not Only a Presidential
Possibility But Probability.
[By T.. G. Dougherty.l

bSnlngtOn, Apfl ES.-Ine next
time Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
mander of the central department of
the army at Chicago, visits the Hawk
eye state, the people of Iowa will have
an opportunity of passing judgment on
the man most talked Of in the national
capital for the republican nomination
in 1920.
The. one outstanding feature in the
national political situation as viewed
from here today is: Leonard Wood Is
not only is a presidential possibility
he is a presidential probability.
There has been more or less dis
cussion Of Wood as the republican 1920
nominee ever since the present admin
istration began kicking him about for
his effort to get this country prepared
for participation in the world war. The
death Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in
January increased this talk.
But II was only recently that the
politicians began taking serious>notice
OF the Wood boom. Needless to say.
the wheel horses Of the party do not
want Wood. They will continue to be
against him If they can succeed in
sitting the movement for him. Let
there be pronounced symptoms that
the country wants Wood, and unless
all signs of the past fail, there will be
general fioclting of politicians in that
direction.
The capital knows Wood very well.
And it knows his case against the adj
ministration. The general has friends
and enemies here just as Colonel
Roosevelt had.
Boom is Growing.
II is not as much what the people Of
Washington think as it is what they
hear from the country that really
counts. The pulse of the nation ASA
rule is fairly accurately reflected by
the reports from camp to political
headquarters here.
These reports show a surprising
sentiment for General Wood. The
Missouri valley holds the general in
highest esteem because of his work in
ston. He is an idol to thousands in
Kansas, Missouri. Colorado and Neb-
raska. Two hundred thousand men
passed thru Camp Funston while Wood
was in command.
Senator William s. Kenyon, OF Iowa,
while home made a study Of the poll
teal situation in the Hawkeye state
carefully. He has reported to friends
here that the Wood boom will not
down." Information from New England
indicates a strong undercurrent for
Wood. Senator Hiram Johnson, of
California. who is warm personal
friend of Wood thinks the genera
would be an acceptable candidate to

ment made by the confessed slayer Of
Mrs. Eunice Freeman of Portland in
his cell at the state prison here Fri

Parents of Boy
Picked Up Here

Where are the parents of Jesse
Cook. This boy, age Is, is being held
at the city jail until police can locate
his family, which, up to several days
ago, resided at 1850 N. Front street.
Jesse was picked up on the street
last night by Constable DeLong. He
said he had no place to sleep, so he was
given comfortable cot in the city jail.
This morning he told police he had
run away from his home three days
ago, being unable to stand the perse-
cution of his step mother. He said
she compelled him to do most Of the
work about the house and when he was
finished would find fault with it. This
became unbearable, he said, and he
went away, getting job putting In

the basement of local bakery.

nestle affairs whether or not Jesse
