General Wood is
easily the leading
candidate. His
support is coun-
trywide and rests
upon several dis
tinct influences
that are neither
local nor spas
modic. He is not

which the term is
usually employed
that is. he is

preliminary expressions have been
sufficient to locate his following.
He carried Detroit by a large ma
jority over Gen. Wood. He received
the compliment of having a large
number in Chicago write his name
on the ballot-a very marked indi-
cation of preference. In New Jersey
he ran strong in the cities and his

Senator johnson can secure any
thing like a majority OF the Re
publican delegates. He has the
field against him and the field is
quite large and is divided among a
number of aspirants. Senator
JohnsonIis the only man feared and
bitterly opposed.
The field is at present occupied by
a number of men who lack the fol.

Sees PershIng Eliminated.
General Wood is first choice of
those who favor universal compul-
sorry military training, and that
number is considerable, much larg-
er In the Republican party than in
the Democratic party.
In the beginning this sentiment
was divided between Gen. Wood
and Gen. Pershing but the race was
an unequal one from the start and
Gen. Pershing's defeat in his home
State, Nebraska, eliminates him as
q presidential possibility.
Gen. Woods friends were in the
beginning inclined to capitalize the
Presidents refusal to send him to
France in command Of the army
but that argument Is not being
stressed now because il has become
apparent the military element in
the Republican party is not as
strong as was at first supposed. In
fact, II has been just a little anus
ing to note the change Of tone at
the Wood headquarters.
Pictured a. n Quaker.
The cartoonists, who always en-
phasize by exaggeration. have illus
trated the change by picturing Gen.
Wood first in military garb, then as
part civilian and part soldier and
nnally in the garb of a Quaker.
In the early stages of General
Woods campaign a strong appeal
was made &c the Roosevelt vote
hut a change has taken place in
this respect also because Of Sena-
tor Johnson's stronger appeal to
the progressive sentiment. The
Senator from California, having
been on the ticket with President
Roosevelt. and having received the
support OF the progressives at that
time, Is in much better position to
claim their allegiance now, and the
support Of General Wood has
shifted from that element to the
opposite side OF the party.
VIII Not Win in Chicago.
It would seem from present indi
cations that General Wood. while
the leading candidate, is near ths
limit of his possibilities and that
he will reach. the limit before he
kas secured a sufficient followins
to bring him within reach of The
nomination.

An Appeal For the Children of
PIeasantvilIe.
Editor Pleasantville Press:

Editor Pleasantville Press:
There seems to be an erroneous
opinion extant relative to the Teacher
Campaign. Some people think it sim
ply a scheme to raise teachers salar-
les for their own personal benefit. 1t
is for a reason much more far-reach-
ing. 1t touches the very foundations
of American democracy-it touches
the future of Pleasantville.
Teachers are not making a personal
campaign; but realizing the situation,
and knnNingaft the Offers being made
to the best teachers in our local
schools. they see calamity ahead.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
teachers left the ranks last year. More
than 100000 teaching positions in the
public schools of the United States
are either vacant or filled by teachers
below standard, and the attendance
at normal schools and teacher-train-
ing schools has decreased 20 per cent
in the last three years. These start
ling facts are shown by the complete
report of an investigation made by
the National Education Association
Many of our own teachers are already
preparing for a change and we believe
it behooves us to present the situation
to the general public.
Why are these teachers leaving l.?
The condition is serious right here at
home. Most of the towns of the state
are preparing to offer a minimum
salary of $1,000. If Pl~easantville
hasn't the money to do likewise, all
of the teachers she will be able to hold
are those who are tied to the town by
other obligations. These may be am
ong the best of our teachers, but are
there enough of them to keep the
doors of the schools open?
1t is actually impossible at the pres
ent time to ecure properly certifcat-
ed teachers to fill vacancies as they
occur. Must We lower our standards?
Are you willing that your child shall
be in the hands of teachers who are
