Governor Allen Turns Tide
"The appearance of Governor Allen
of Kansas in the Michigan campaign in
General Woods behalf is believed to
winning in to-day's primary. In Mich
igan Wood is opposed by Governor
Lowden. Senator Johnson and Herbert
Hoover. who also appear on the Demo-
cratic primary ballot. Rural Mich
igan is known to be strong FOR Gem
eral Wood, although in the city of De-
troit the race was considered close
until Governor Allen began his cam
paign there in Woods behalf. Allen
is believed by the Wood people to have
swung the popular vote decidedly in
General Woods favor"
Governor Allen, in a reply last night
70 Senator Borah's attack on General
Wood. said:
Those Americans who are contrib
utng TO the Wood campaign fund are
doing so because they realize the vital
need OF their country to have at the
American procurable, a statesman in
stead Of a politician, tried and proved
administrator, instead of an expert
menter. a man whose character and
-ccord prove he will administer the
Office OF President for the whole people
and not for any class or section or
group OF the people. That is Why
they are putting Up the money reces-
sary 10 present to all the people of
the United States, through frank pub
lefty, the facts about General Wood
the man, so that the people can in
diligently judge him in this candi-
dacy.
Says Borah Has "Wrong Squint"
Il. myself, am giving considerable
. General Woods campaign. I am Civ
lng my time, paying my own expenses
and have rather expensive newspaper
i whose columns I think I have given
General Wood $4,000 worth Of free
publicity in the last six months. I
DO not expect anything out of Cen
eral Wood, If he IS elected President
Il | had more money than | needed
would gladly give that money out
right to spread the facts about Gen
eral Wood before my countryinen be-
cause Of what I believe 20 be the
necessity Of my country al this hour,
ne election Of the best American as
President.
Senator Borah has the wrong
squint, and it is a squirt ne did not
possess in 1912. He and I both cam
paigned for Theodore Roosevelt. What
"o-iu you ln.nH OF man VINO would
sand up and say that he contributed
70 Roosevelt's campaign fund because
re expected TO get something ont Of
Roosevelt when elected? Such q state
ment would be as precisely false and
RIDICULOUS made against Wood now as
against Roosevelt then. It is not true
nat there does not exist in American
politics any higher expectation on the
part Of contributors to a campaign
iund than that they shall receive
sone consideration from the great man
whose. cause they helped in a great
