 CHICAGO, June 11-1Described as the outstanding candidate in the minds of the people" Maj. Gen. Leon ard Wood was formally nominated to- day by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas for the Republican presidential nomination.
 "A plain. blunt man, with blunt belief in facts" Governor Allen said Of General Wood. '.he is today the best known American.
 Wood. the Constructionist
 No man in America has been given so many constructive things to do in this generation, and no one denies that whatever he has undertaken he has done superlatiyely well.
 An unexpected period of confusion has come upon Us in the aftermath ol the great war. Old days are lost ane leadership hesitant and indecisive, drifts upon an uncharted sea.
 Under the weak hands of a timorous government the social disorders and class -mindedisms, caught from the world struggle. have grown to alarm ing proportions.
 The unchecked encroaehment Of sinister greed, the appalling waste of public money. the immoral panderins to class interest and class prejudice have brought us to a point where the nation demands and the world expects from this great council a leader chosen out Of the great need and not through the cunning of political exDediency.

SPROUL SUPPORTERS
 ID STICK AS LONG
 AS CHANCE REMAINS
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO. June 1.-The Pennsyl- vania delegates in caucus tonight without a record vote or motion. agreed to stand for Governor Sprouts nom ination so long as they feel he has a chance.
 A motion to stick to the governor until he released the delegation was objected-to by some of the delegates as preventing them from exercising indi- vidual judgment.
 Another motion was made to leave the question of releasing the delegation to a committee of two. Fractional state politics cropped out with the result that both motions were withdrawn and it was left to the honor of the delegates to stick to the governor so long as he seemed to have 9 reasonable chance to win. .
 Governor Sproul participated in the discussion, saying the balloting today was satisfactory to Pennsylvania and that the state was in a better strategic position than before the convention opened. The governor said Senator Penrose two weeks ago had predicted the general situation in the convention exactly as 1t is.
 'I don't believe there is a difference of IS votes," he said.
 The Pennsylvania. governor said he wanted Pennsylvania to wield as pow erful influence in the convention as it has done in past years, and assured the delegates he would not let his can didacy stand in the way Of Pennsyl- Vania's interest.
 Governor Sproul suggested that if the delegation should break up 1t would lose influence with the other states and he thought it best to stand together, not alone for him but for the rTaf=4 c
 State Chairman w. F. Crow tolN the delegates they were floundering because of the absence of Senator Penrose.
 James H. Reed of Pittsburg, who holds the proxy of Senator Knox, said he was told bX Senator Knox to vote for Governor Sproul so long as he had a chance. He intended to do it, he said. and would decide his subsequent action himself

 MT. Elweu was alone in the 14-room house. His beo had not been touched and his evening dress clothing had been folded and placed on the back of a chair. An empty cartridge was found on the floor. The bullet, after passing through his head, embedded itself in the wall

colony is the Mcdowell Colony.
Cause and effect are intimately
bound together in it's history. More
than thirty years ago the composer
and his wife, young and without
money, came to Peterborough to find
quiet for work. They found it in
such quantities that six years later
they decided to buy little farm
which was offered for sale at price
low enough for their purse. Here
MacDowell built the log cabin, which
is still standing and which will be
preserved as shrine, and in it he
wrote much Of his best music.
After MacDowell's death his
widow, knowing how much the log
cabin had meant to him, went to the
committee which was administering
the fund of $4,000 which had been
subscribed to establish memorial to
the composer and by dint of de-
termined persuasion managed to in
duce them to invest it in "the Peter

and Michel de Roussy, son of lie
Marquis de Roussy de Sales; Papil-

some years later, Feline.
A rare character, Feline, lieuten-
ant of cavalry, a Frenchman who
knew that some day the call Of La
Patrie would ring far across Canada,
even to the foothills of the Rockies,
and who carried with him in an old
dunnage bag his cavalry boots and
good deal of his military accoutre-
ment.
Six or eight years went by, and
Trochu, now a fair-sized village,
knew nothing but happiness. Wives
and families had come from Old
France to join husbands and fathers,
most ofwhom had resigned their COM
missions and gone on the reserve.
Seed-time and harvest came in their
season, and year by year this little
colony of France found itself merg-

environment.
The ranchers living near at hand
many of them former soldiers of
the British army Of peace times,
were kindly and neighborly; the
children of these French families
learned the English language in a
small Canadian country school; their
parents came to speak and think of
Canada as "home," and all idea of
return to life in France departed
from their minds. Diligent industry
brought its rich rewards, and in the
humble homes of Trochu were peace
and prosperity.

work, not compulsion. People could
come here and be absolutely lazy if
they liked; but somehow nobody is
lazy here. There seems to be no
escape from the infection of in
dustry.
How to Get In
The secret of it all is that those
who are admitted to the colony have
to be in earnest. There are two
ways, and only two, by which an
entrance may be won. A man has
either to be a creative artist who is
able to point to an achievement Of
recognized Importance, or he must
find two creative artists of standing
who are prepared to say that he
promises such an achievement. The
amateur and the novice are alike in
eligible.
The question of money simply does
not arise. Some Of those who are
admitted are poor, and for their
benefit the charge made for board is
nominal, but the same charge is
made to the prosperous member of
the colony. No inquiry is made as
to the financial position; lack or pos
session of means count. for nothing
the single qualification is artistic
ability.
