The feeling between the forces OF
Gen. Leonard Wood and Gov. Frank
O. Lowden is daily growing more
tense in Illinois. They are the only
two candidates who will be in the re-
publican preferential primary April
are claiming that they will carry H.
linois. AS all reports from down
state are to the effect that the rural
districts are strong for Lowden. the
Wood claims are being discounted by
wise politicians.
Mayor Thompson has the same as
announced that he will not take anv
hand in the planning for the st; )
convention. which means, 1t is believed.
that all of the delegates at large to
the republican national convention
will be instructed for Lowden.. The

for Lowden, it is reported. and all Of
the Thompson delegates are now ex-
pected to be with the governor, CIV

,ecial pispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March g.
With the fling Of petitions complet-
ed, the Indiana presidential primary
campaign is now under full steam
with four republican contenders in
the running-Leonard Wood, Gov.
Lowden, Hiram Johnson and Senator
Harding. The most noticeable recent
development is what appears to be
the waning strength Of Harding. 1t
is generally predicted now that Hard
ing will come out in fourth place.
OF course, many things may hap
pen between now and the time Of the
primaries. but the keenest political
observers do not profess to see any
thing in the future that may change
what now appears to be the status of
Harding. Hardings strength was
never as great in Indiana as it was
represented to be. The fact that he
at first had the support of the In
diana delegation in Congress made 1t
appear that he was strong con-
tender. But when word of the sentf-
ment back home began to reach the
congressman, even this strength
seemed to leave Harding.
Another interesting development is
the status of Johnson in the Indiana
campaign. The prediction is heard
that he will run second. However, the
preponderant opinion seems to be
that Lowden will run second with
Johnson a close third. Johnsons cam
paign in Indiana works in very nicely
for those who are opposing Leonard
Wood The aim of the Wood support
ers is to get a majority in the pri-
mary for Wood and thus get a dele
CATION instructed for Wood. But by
means of the vote Johnson will get
and the votes the Lowden people can
pile up the opponents of Wood hope
to hold him down to plurality. The
johnson people, according to express
sions openly given by those in charge
of his headquarters, hope to get the
full advantage of the Irish and Ger
man vote. This vote in Indiana is
considerable.
The Wood people, although they
seem to have a preponderance of pub
lie sentiment for their candidate. are
looking forward to the task of meet
ing q whirlwind Lowden campaign in
Indiana.
The date Of the republican state
convention was set the other day at
May 12 and this action is supposed to
be favorable to Wood This is only a

 These American portrait masks" which are the only ones in France, are made of light weight copper plate, enameled in flesh tintS. They conceal facial scars and hide the ab- sence of missing features. They are an adoption of the mask invented by Captain Derwent Wood of the British army.
