Why AMERICA NEEDS PERSHING

Our generation has given a new char
acter 10 the president OF the United
States, and has put upon him new du-
Ties and burdens. The American peo-
pie are no longer satisfied with a mere
executive In the presidential chair; they
demand a leader who will formulate
policies and secure their adoption; they
look to the pres dent rather than TO
congress for leadership. They demand
Tor president 2 man accustomed TO deal
with large affairs In a large way; a
man capable Of clear thinking and Wig
orous action; a man whose personality
VIII challenge admiration and secure
cooperation.
The Ideal president must be a man
Of clear and wide vision; a man OF
prompt and decisive action. with firm
determination and capacity Of bringing
others to his point OF view. He shOu d
possess ripe experience and q broad
knowledge OF world affairs, and an intl-
mate acquaintance with The various
sections and possessions Of our own
country.
No other living American measures
so nearly up to this standard as Gen
eral John ]. Persh.ng.
The Pershlng for President Organiza-
ton is an organization arising from a
grateful people staunch in their admlra-
tion Of the calm. fearless, resourceful
leadership demonstrated by General
John Pershlng in his service for
America
An organization whose sole aim IS in
placing in The national executive chair
a proven leader-a resourceful states
mana man Of iron with a heart OF
gold.
An organization based on the pres
ervatlOn Of American Institutions and
the perpetuatiOn Of American ideals.
An organization founded by the peo-
ple-flnanced by the peOple-and pro-
NOTED by the people In the interest OF
all the people.
An organization whose leader Is I'M
swayed by personal gain or political
prejudice.

Backed by Nat'Onawide Public
Sentiment.

At 200 O'Clock of the afternoon OF De-
cember II, one Of the coolest days In
Lincoln's history. staunch admirers and
friends residing in General Pershing's
home city met and perfected an organl-
zation for the Republican nom nation
for the pres dency for this world re-
nowned citizen.
Some there were who predicted that
Pershing would not permit the use Of
his name as a candidate but those who
are best acqusintcd with him insisted
that he cannot and will not shirk a
duty imposed upon him by this cOuns
try. All present proclaimed that II
necessary the draft should be invoked
to call 10 leadership the msn who has
so remarkably demonstrated his ability
to lead
The hearty accord which greeted the
idea at this meeting gave striking evil

to the signing OF The apmlstlce no man
had more perplexlng. problems TO solve
or more difficult situations with which
to deal. To queries presented by allied
leaders as 10 the pOss biliiy Of the
United States rot being prepared TO
do It's part Pershing is quoted as re-
plying: Il know my country. The
spirit OF America never faltered or
failed. know 70 will not fail in this
emergency"
Through his ability he demanded the
respect OF the military leaders with
whom he was associated With his in
ate modesty which is one Of the domi-
nant marks OF his sterling character
he was ever making himself and his
personal desires subscrvient to the best
interest OF the cause for which he
fought. Perhaps one Of .he biggest acts
ever performed by a military leader
was Pershing's Offer 10 General Foch,
that the French commander become the
supreme head Of an united allied force
subiugating himself to a position under
him. Again his thought was not OF
himself but OF the cause
In the mastering world problems and
dealing in matters OF import effectlng

dispalyed a keen Insight INTO gov

PERsmNC-THE LEADER
AND EXECUTIVE.

Today more than ever before an un-
wavering executive Is needed at The ma
tiOnal head The manner In which our
boys in khaki and in blue met and put
down the arch foe to civilization un-
Is ample evidence to anyone who fol-
lowed that leadership OF the remarkable
commander Of the A.. E. f.
In the execution Of a commando
plan or a campaign he not only lniti-
ated the order but he saw to it that
every detail OF the plan was success
fully put In effect "Pershing says Do
10 hence it must be done" became a
by-wOrd among the allied troops.
While doubling ones were saying it
could not be done Pershing and his
boys were doing 1t.
His administrative capabilities were
called into action every day Of the try
ing, eighteen months service in France
and In the marshaling OF Americas
lighting efficiency into an aggressive
nnconquerabe organization he proved
beyond the peradveniure OF a doubt his
marvellous skill as an executive.
A leader who leads not folOws-an
executive who acts not talks-tested by
the Aercest sort Of trials he proved
through acts and deeds his right to
leadership. Now that America needs
leader and an executive to whom should
we more naturally turn than to the
man who has been tried and found not
wanting-whose past experience and
present capabilities mark his as the
Man OF the Hour"
