Major General Leonard Wood,
candidate for the Republican NOM
nation for the presidency of the
United States, may be barking up
the wrong tree. But the announce
ment that he will speak at the Au-
gustana gymnasium next Tuesday
April s, in one of the engagements
of his six-day campaign tour OF
Illinois, proves that he is barking
just as Justify as he can and just
as close to the root and trunk OF
the tree as he can.
Whatever effect the. plump OF
Herbert HooVer's hat in the Repub-
lican ring may have had upon the
psychology of the Wood presiden-
tial campaign committee, it has not
altered the plan to go vigorously
after Lowden's supporters in his
own state.
Leaves Chicago Monday.
General Wood leaves Chicago
next Monday. April s, and during
the next five days will encompass
the state, north, south, east anG
west. It may be, if the governor
OF the state is at his Springfield
home, which is not at all likely in
these buzZing times for the presi.
Dental bees, the general may cal
on the rival for the candidacy wher
III Springfield Tuesday. But that
is not likely either.
