recovered from the NAL de mere, word
was allowed to circulate that a man
subservient to certain classes OF in

next president. 1t is noteworthy that
these same ~fnanciers did not turn
to Leonard Wood. In fact, they per
mitted it to be noised abroad, without
taking particular pains TO keep the
origin a secret, that Wood was not
the man they wanted. And why?
Because Wood would NOT be sub
servient. Because Wood has a MIND
OF HIS OWN. Because Wood has
initiative and would be much mory
apt to give orders than to take them
Because Wood has at heart the in

not acceptable to these men. And
for that reason he would be more than

Breadth. and length, for that mat
ter, too, is being lent the candidacy
of Leonard Wood for the presidency

ernors Of six states declared for Leon

came-Norbeck, of South Dakota
Shoup, Colorado: Allen, Kansas; Burn
quist. Minnesota; Campbell, Arkan.

the Canadian border TO the. Rio Grande
these governors come, and it is safe
to say their attitude was carefully
plumhed and guided by the sentiment
Of their own peoples. These men

less and unafraid. They know that
Wood is hat man and that the people
will o be denied.
And as these governors OF these
great western states have already
aligned themselves beside a man who
helped make their commemorative
possible when yet the beard was
down upon his cheek. so must the
heads Of those other great common
wcalths back east, who owe their

II there is any one republican can.
didate who could dent the sO-called
solid south in a presidential campaign
that man is Leonard Wood. The south
knows Wood, knows him intimately
and knows him well. For when the
United States entered the world war.
Wood, refused service abroad by a
carping administration, chose the post
at Charleston. s. G. While there he
labored industTially and SO skilltul!y
that there is not now a place OF any
size in the south that does net sound
and did not sound the praises Of Leon
ard>Wood. One would naturally have
expected something Of the sort from
any able man with such preparation.
but one would not expect such a man
to leave his department with the ex'
t%raordinary popularity and the mul.
titude OF expressions Of good will
which Wood carried away with him
in a few short months of work. The
south remembers Wood, and it is a
safe bet to say that those states In
which Wood labored would remember
him when it comes time to cast their
ballots for president.

Leonard Wood has devoted a life
Suhc was the motive Of his first en-
deavor when he went, as a callow
doctor, among the poor Of Boston
struggling for their betterment. Such
was his motive when he went among
the Indians. He was willing to fight
them in their own fashion, If neces
sary, but he was also willing to risk
his life among them to argue with
them. When, as a young man still
he was put in charge Of operations
at Santiago, the peoples good was his
first aim. And when he was later
made encouragement Of the island
of Cuba, pro bona publica was still
uppermost in his thoughts.
Never has Leonard Wood played
favorite to any group OF any class OF
any interest. His efforts were always
for the mass. Such has been his life
thus far. and so will 1t be to the end
whether he spends a term Of years ir
the White House or whether he re
mains in his present position. This
is the sort Of a man whose record OF
achievement has fired a nation with
the desire to grant to him its highest
honor. And this is the sort Of a maj
those interests, who would crush the
masses with as much eagerness a.
Wood would raise them, are opposing
There should be no room for choice

can citizen can make but one.

EX governor WOOD BOOSTER

The following wire was received
this week at Leonard Wood for Pres.
ident" national Headquarters from the
MN who led R~oosevalt's 1912 fight at
the republican national convention:
Herbert s. Hadlay, former governor
Of Missouri, now president of the Uni.

who is q member Of the Leonard Wood
National Campaign committee, wired
Chicago headquarters the following
Endorsement:
Leonard Wood is in my opinion
the most outstanding and forcoful per.
sonality in our national life today. Not
only during storm and stress Of war.
but also in the trying period Of read
justment has he shown his uufaltering
courage and unquestioned capacity for
leadership. 1t is his demonstrated
capacity for achievement both in civil
and military affairs which has given
his position Of leadership in the party
and nation. That he was a close
friend and trusted cOnfidant Of three
great presidents. Grover Cleveland,
William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt is an impressive tribute to
his unusual qualities Of mind and
heart. When soldiers in environments
were dying like flies for want of un.
dercIothes and blankets that the gov.
eminent could not or would not fur.
nish, Leonard Wood ordered on his
own credit by express from Kansas
City to Camp Funston, clothes and
blankets necessary to keep his sol,
diers warm and alive. General Wood
is a soldier, but he hasn't a military
mind"
