If there is any one republican can
didate who could lent the so-called
solid south in a presidential campaign
that man is Leonard Wood. The south
knows Wood. knows him intimately
and knows him we'll. For when the
United States entered the world war
Wood. refused service abroad by a
carping administration, chose the post
at Charleston. S. c. While there he
labored industrially and so skillfuliy
that there is not now a place of any
size in the south hat does not sound
and did not sound the praises Of Leon
ard Wood. One would naturally have
expected something OF the sort from
any able man with such preparation
but one would not expect such a man
to leave his department with the ex
traordinary popularity and the mul
titude OF expressions of good will
which Wood carried away with him
in a few short months of work. The
south remembers Wood, and it Is a
safe bet to say that those states In
which Wood labored would remember
him when it comes time to cast their
ballots for president.

Recently a group Of financiers re,
turned from Europe and Immediately
held a conference with certain down.
east political wiseacres. Shortly aft
er the conference. probably ever be.
fore some OF the more susceptible ones
recovered from the NAL de mere, word
was allowed to circulate that a "man
subservient to certain classes Of in.
terest" was highly desirable "a the
next president. 1t is noteworthy that
these same financiers did 0 turn
to Leonard Wood. In fact, they per.
mitted it to be noised abroad. without
taking particular pains to keep the
origin a secret, that Wood was not
the man they wanted. And why!
Because Wood would NOT be sub
servient. Because Wood has a MIND
OF HIS OWN. Because Wood has
initiative and would be much morD
apt to give orders than to take them.
Because Wood has at heart the In.
terests Of ALL THE PEOPLE rather
than that OF CERTAIN CLASSES.
These are the reasons that the
financial barons back east have per.
mitted it to become known that they
must have Z nan "subservient to cor
tain interests" They want . tool. not
a president. Leonard Wood would be
\ president and not 4 tool. So he is
not acceptable to these men. And
Tor that reason he would be more than
acceptable to the masses.

Endorsement:
Leonard Wood Is in my opinion
the most outstanding and forceful per.
sonality in our national life today. Not
only during storm and stress Of war,
but also in the trying period OF read
justment has he shown his unfalterine
courage and unquestioned capacity for
leadership. 1t is his demonstrated
capacity for achievement both in civil
and military affairs which has given
his position OF leadership in the party
and nation. That he was a close
friend and trusted confidant Of three
great presidents. Grover Cleveland
William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt is an impressive tribute tC
his unusual qualities OF mind and
heart. When soldiers in environments
were dying like flies for want OF un

eminent could not or would not fur

own credit by express from Kansas

blankets necessary to keep his sol
diers warm and alive. General Wood
is a soldier, but he hasn't a military
mind"

Wilfrcd Berger, lg. of this city, was drowned shortly after 6 o'clock Thursday evening while bathing in the swimming hole in the Little River at the Little River bridge on Pomfret street. The body was recovered and removed to Smiths undertaking rooms. This Is the first drowning ac- cident to occur in Putnam this year.
 Berger went in swimming with a number of companions. It is said that he was poor swimmer and it is thought that when he got beyond his depth he became frightened and sank. Some children on the river bank were the first to realize that Berger was in danger. They ran all the way to the Day kimball Hospital, where. in an excited and hysterieal manner. they succeeded in making two men working for the General Construction Com pany of Boston understand that a man was drowning.
 Albert V. Smith and Thomas C.. Merz hurried to the spot. When they arrived Berger was not to be seen.

BERGER CLEARS UP
 MANY PETTY THEFTS
When Chilled By Police Admits Years of Stealing In
 Putnam
Taken to State Reformatory By
 Patrolman Ernest l.. Chandler

Archille. or Archie" Berger, 24, was takensto the state reformatory at Cheshire by Patrolman Ernest L. Chandler last Saturday The sentence to this institution is for an indefinite period and inmates are paroled. the same as in the Connecticut School for Boys. when the officials deem them worthy of confidence.
 As told in last weeks Patriot. Der ger was grilled at the police station af- ter his arrest last week Thursday eve ming, and .came across" with admis- sions of long series of petty thefts that have been bothering the police for some time. Included in these were the theft of pearl necklace, three thefts of money from a fruit store, thefts from grocery store, and others. One or two breaks that were put up to him he refused to admit. but the police are of the opinion that Der ger has been responsible for many other small thefts and burglaries that have occurred in the past few years.
 The young man has a police court record ever since the time he was ten or a dozen years old. In all but one instance his trouble has come through stealing. He was brought up in poor surroundings and has never had much of a chance in the world He has a brother who has also been in similar trouble.
 When the admissions were obtained from Berger the special probation off ger. James Mccall. who took an inter est in him when he was arraigned in court charged with stealing from Franklin's lunch cart and agreed to be responsible for him, decided he had taken too large contract and was willing to give the young man over to the officers.
 As Berger was sentenced to the re- formatory at the time of his previous conviction last Wednesday, which sentence was suspended for six months pending any further develop ments, 1t was necessary to hold fur ther court proceedings in his case. The suspension of the sentence was mere ly revoked. which left Berger standing committed, and he was immediately taken to begin his sentence.
