Geography and the Presidency.

Is Gen. Leonard Wood to be classed
as an eastern or a western MANI The
question arises in connection with next
years republican national ticket. He
is so prominently mentioned for first
place, speculation is busy picking a
running mate for him. Several men
of prominence and influence are sug.
gested in that relation.
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana is one
Now, according to the customary
geographical Arrangement Of a presi-
Dental ticket, a middle state man
brackets with an eastern man, as Fair.
banks with Roosevelt and then with
Hughes, and Marshall with Wilson. So
if next years ticket is Wood and Good
rich, the general will answer as an
eastern man.
Senator johnson Of California IL an.
other. He is extremely western. SO if
the ticket is Wood and Johnson, the
general will answer again as an east
ern man.
Senator Wadsworth Of New York is
another. He is an eastern man. So if
the ticket is Wood and Wadsworth, the
general will answer as q middle state
or q western man.
It may be, however, that this geo.
graphical arrangement will be waived
if Gen. Wood secures first place. As a
soldier he grades as national guam
tity. He Is not assignable to any state
or section, but to the country at large.
He has served both in the east and the
west, and is popular in both sections.
His western service, however, gained
for him his first recognition. It was
that service which made him so con-
spicuously the right man for the COM
mand Of the Rough Riders in the war
with Spain; and his service in Cuba
brought him promotion.
The geographical arrangement did
not operate in the case of Gen. Grant
He was a professional soldier, who, in
1853, was rated as national quantity
A native of Ohio, long a resident of
Illinois and Missouri, he had yet spent
SO much time in uniform-continuous
since 1S61-he had lost his state tag

presidency. And so it came about that
Schuyler Colfax Of Indiana was his
running mate in his first race, and
Henry Wilson Of Massachusetts, in his
second.

and English was nominated. Gen. Han.
cock was native of Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. English native and resident of
the nearby state Of Indiana. But Gen
Hancock was professional soldier
and as such not assignable in that pol.
itical matter to his native state. An.
swering as citizen at large, he brack.
