GENERAL WOODS MESSAGE.

Returned to Chicago after a CON
ference at Marion with Senator Hard
ing, Gen. Leonard Wood, in a brief
ly worded interview statement, de-
clares that Harding and Coolidge
stand for constructive, progressive
policies and that the Republican ticket
will be elected. General Wood is for
a campaign that will outline a policy
''clean-cut, forward-looking and CON
structive," and which will not seek
to win favor through destructive crit
icism.
We must get back, he says, to gov
eminent under the Constitution, to a
policy that stands for economy, eff
cheney and a revision of war taxation;
we must re-create strong but con-
sentative foreign policy-a policy
which will protect American lives and
rights abroad; we must stand for in
dustrial justice based upon the square,
human handling of issues between
labor and capital, remembering that
labor is neither a commodity nor a
chattel. The Republican party, he
suggests, entrusted with the respon-
sibility, will meet and deal with the
great issues frankly and courageously,
with view to solving them and not
of avoiding them.
1t is such a message as was conf
IDENTIFY expected from Gen. Wood, says
the Baltimore American. There is
nothing in the tent sulker in his make
up. That he was keenly disappointed
in the result of the Chicago conven-
ton needs not to be told about. But
there is no such word as failure for
Wood-his one dominating idea is to
serve to the best that is in him in
whatever capacity. The shuttle of
circumstances is likely to place him
before this time next year in position
where his extraordinary organizing
and constructive abilities will be adj
equately employed.
