Wis, president of the Southern Con-
federacy:
''He had the pride, the spirit Of
initiative, the capacity in business
which qualify men for leadership. and
lacked nothing of indomitable will
and imperious purpose to make his
leadership effective. What he did
lack was. wisdom in dealing with
men. willingness to take the judg.

business. the instinct which recogniz

Gen Leonard Wood may we'll pray
to be delivered from his fool friends.
Some Of them are now proclaiming
that the opposition to Wood comes
from the old staIwart faction of the
republican party while he is the ex-
ponent of the progressive movement.
In other words, that the mantle of
Theodore Roosevelt has fallen upon
him. Such talk will have tendency
to turn from him all of the old stall
warts. and If it does it will make a
big hole in his support The people
want a president who is big enough
to aspire to that Office in his own
right. They don't want any imitation
candidates. and we do not believe
that Gen. Wood aspires to be such.
but he is being placed in that light
by his would.be friende. The friends
Of Sen. johnson are making the same
claim for him. and with equally as
good reason. There are important is.
sues before the people today that had
never been dreamed of when the 30
called progressive movement was
started. and the alignment on these
issues will not follow the old align.
ment. Some of the leading etalwarts
in this vicinity are lining up fol
Wood; some Of Roosevelt's followers
are favoring Lowden and some John.
son. The old issues have been for.
gotten and will cut little figure 10 the
vote this year unless they are forced.
and it is very short sighted for ths
supporters of any candidate to fore.
them.
