To the Editor Of The Star:
As the question arises nearly every
day as to who would be the most logical
and strongest candidate for the Repub-
ncan party to nominate for President
of the United States in 1910, permit me
to make a suggestion as to the type of
man who would be best suited for the
ONCE.
I believe there is widespread feeling
that-more important than the dictates
of partisanship, or Of political or fac
tional politics-the next President should
be a real American Of sound common
sense. thoroughly grounded in the needs
and requirements of the people of the
country. The great ofIice OF President
Of the United States should seek the man
and not the candidate who bankers after
the ONCE.
have in mind, and desire to call to
your attention, a man who embodies
those requirements which I believe are
set in the minds Of the voters. He is
Representative James w. WadsWorth of
New York State-a man with wide public
experience in national affairs through
out his career, and with contacts over
many years with the farmers, workers
and 1ndustrialists. His name and his
family are inseparably entwined with the
history Of the great State of New York,
which is an essential requisite for victory
OF the Republican party.
I hold in no disparagement the names
OF others in the Republican party men,
toned for the Office of President, but as
an American and Delaware Republican
I must speak for New York favorite
son-one that believe would make the
best President in either party. I only
hope when the Republican National Con-
vention meets that 1t will consider the
elements Of Mr.. Wadsworths great
strength.
The following are six good reasons why
the Republicans should make him their
choice for President:
/. He is q real American and believes
In our American form of Government.

gress proves. This is further attested by
his record Of six years as member of
the New York Assembly, and five years
as Speaker of the Assembly.
2. For the reason that he comes from
New York State, which is absolutely
essential for the Republican party to
win the election in 1910.
tion will no doubt be held in advance of
the Democratic National Convention. In
case the Democratic party splits over
control, and nominates q radical New
Dealer, who is better able to draw the
conservative Democratic and Independ-
ent vote throughout the Nation in 194O
than James w. Wadsworth?
4. He has the courage of his convictions
always, and cannot be induced to change
his vote on any bill to catch a few votes
on election day. He is not like weather.
vane that shifts with the wind but
stands firmly for America first, last and
all the time.
S. # elected to the presidency he would
surround himself with an able cabinet,
and not do just the opposite of what
his platform says-and what he says in
his campaign speeches.
6. He is real forward looking"
statesman. AS contrasted with crackpot
theorists his position on social and eco
nomic questions is fair, square and
sound. He is opposed to class distinction
and antagonism; he believes in the com
mon man" and his rights, opportunities
and obligations under the Constitution
and the American system of Govern
ment; he believes in Government as a
helpful agent and servant of the people,
and not as an oligarchy to regiment,
repress and oppress in either the Fascist,
Nazi, or Communist patterns. Agricul-
ture, labor, industry and capital would
all get a square deal at his hands.
