WOODS MOVE WELCOMED
BY PERSH|NG'S FRIENDS
Overseas Commander Backers in
Nebraska Accept Challenge
for Contest.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. f5.-Thc gauntlet
thrown down by the Nebraska managers
of the campaign of General Leonard Wood
in the preparing of complete list OF dele
gates for the Republican National Conven-
tion was promptly taken up by Mark w.
Woods, Executive Chairman OF the Per
shing for President" movement, IN a
statement issued here yesterday.
"On behalf of the friends of General
Pershing, ! am happy to say that the chal-
lenge is accepted with enthusiasm, Mr..
Woods said IN his statement. Under the
usual amenities of politics, IL has been
customary for candidates from other
States to concede tn a resident candidate
his home State General Woods sup
porters have not seen fit To observe this
courtesy in Nebraska. and We arc glad OF IT.
"The Eastern newspapers and political
writer's have taken the feelings 10 this State
10 mean that General Wood challenges
pcrshing to contest of delegates IN hIs
homo State. and they consider tho primary
battle In Nebraska one Of the most i'm
portant IN the entire country. On behalf
of those who believe General Pershlng to
represent IN his person and IN his career
the exact qualities necessary IN the man
who is to control the dcstiuies OF this
nation in the four wears following March
4, 1921, we accept the challenge.
Il can say without reservation that
General Pcrshing IS gaining tremendous
strength in all parts Of tho country The

he handled tho problems relative to Ameri-

HOOVER WILL ACCEPT
IF CALL IS URGENT
Former Food Chief is Formally
Entered in Contest for
Presidency.

New York, Jan. 15.-IIerbert Hoover
is Progressive Republican and de-
clared to be receptive to a nomination
IN the Presidential race.
The mystery of Hoovers politics was
cleared up yesterday by julius Barnes,
head Of the United States Grain Corpora
ton and long personal friend and bust
ness associate of the former Food Admin
istrator. Addressing some 200 delegates
to the National Wholesale Dry Goods
Association and personal friends assembled
at n banquet here last night, MIR. Barnes
officially tossed the Hoover hat into the
political melee and urged him as tho man
to head the Republican ticket.
Hoover is not running after the
honor, Barnes explained, and would nc
cept only if urgently called. He would
prefer to have the Republican convention
Endorsement and could be expected to
attach himself To the Democratic party
only in event that the Republican con
vention adopted non-progressIvo plat
form under reactionary caudhate.
Thus the virtual entrance of MIR. Hoover
into the political lists tends to clarity
the general situation in a sense, but on
tho other hand amounts to some
thing of ''poscr" for tho Republican
leaders. Those directing the destlnes
of the Republican party heretofore have
made no effort to conceal the fact that
Mr. Hoover Is not their choice. They
feel that this Is a Republican year and
that Zone Of us, not some outsider,
should bc selected But Mr.. Hoover, It
seems. has elected to go with them. IT

All know what it has done. Its records,
which prove supremacy throughout the

the satisfaction that more than $4,000
