Politics," Published February 26, Receives Wide-Spread and Favorable Comment, -QUESTION DEMANDS FRANK ANSWER" 1 Comment, of Prominent Omaha Busi ness Man—-Editorial Should Be Given Wide Circulation" Comments Another—It Is Here Republished. ADMIRERS of General Pershing are enthusiastically advocating his 1 nomination by the republican party i for the presidency. But just what ' claim he has upon the republican party for this high honor The Monitor ; is at a loss to know. He has been | discretely silent as to his party affilia tions. His ardent political admirers and sponsors have been equally mute 1 upon this all-important subject. If he be a republican, he has been mighty quiet about it. No one seems to know what his politics are. So far as we have been able to learn he has never publicly declared himseTf. If he be a republican, and The Monitor is frank to confess that we do not believe he is, it is quite apparent that be is not proud of it, else why his reticence and reluctance to make it known? Our candid opinion is that General Persh ing has been and is now a democrat, and that bis friends who have been advocating his candidacy at the hands of the republicans have placed him in quite an embarrassing position. We do not know what General Per shlng’B politics are, but this we do know: A democratic administration selected him as commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in preference to another at least equally experienced and gallant military com mandea concerning whose republican ism there never wast the slightest doubt. Knowing the disposition of the present administration to advance wherever and whenever possible men of southern birth and by that fact, naturally and generally affiliated with the democratic party, Pershing's high favor with Woodrow Wilson’s admin istration is not without its sinister significance. When this fact is con sidered in connection with his persist ent sphinx-like silence as to his party affiliation it becomes ominously signif icant. General Pershing is a native of Missouri, accounted a southern state, and until quite recently confi dently depended upon to return a democratic majority. Missouri repub licans account their-party affiliation such a distinction and an honor that they never hesitate to make that fact known. General Pershing certainly does not belong to that class of Mis souri republicans, that is very evident. What are General Pershing’s poli ics? Who knows? Would It not be well for those who are pushing his cand idacy for the republican nomination to enlighten the public on this very important matter? There is no doubt in the mind of anybody as to General Wood’s party afilllations. He is a republican. But how about General Pershing? Is he a democrat, republican, socialist or mug wump? Who knows? “Speak up, John, ’spress yoursef.” BE SI RE TO REGISTER. THE Monitor desires to call the attention of our leaders to the importance of registering and voting. Many of our people have recently come from sections of the country where they were not permitted to vote. Naturally, they have become indifferent to the privilege of exer cising their rights as electors. We want to make it as plain as we know how that in Nebraska every citizen has a right to vote and his vote is counted. But in order to vote citizens must register. There will soon be announced special registration days, when voters may register in their own precinrt or voting district; but it is not necessary to wait for these special days. Go to the election com missioner’s office in the court house any week-day and register. Every body who wants to vote must register. Elections this year are tremendously important. Your vote, little as you think about it, may decide who shall be the president for the next four years. WOOD’S POSITION PLAIN. IN every public speech General W’ood ’ makes it perfectly plain where he stands upon prominent questions be fore the country today. He makes it perfectly plain that he stands uncom promisingly for law and order and the protection of all classes of citizens under the constitution of the United States. This is what the American people want. Not only have we General Wood’s words for what he believes, but we have his actions. His administration in Cuba and the Philippines and his fair, firm and decisive actions wher ever he has been sent to restore and maintain order proclaim the kind of man be is. He is unquestionably the man for president of the United States in this era of reconstruction and international disquietude and un rest. LEONARD WOOD—A MAN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE We are living today in a restless age. Theie exists a dissatisfaction and unrest among the people of the world, a general outcome of the great war. The reconstruction period is presenting many problems that must be solved by the various nations of the world. In the United States we are confronted by many perplexing problems. It is going to take the best brain and sinew to cope with the situ ation and adjust matters satisfactor ily. Whatever adjustments are made must be progressive? In other words, the nation must have for the coming presidential period a man who is progressive in action as well as in word to guide its destinies, and a man who will guide the national policies in the spirit of this new era and not accord ing to pre-war standards. He must be a man of a broad and varied ex perience in order to handle the vari ous classes and nationalities that con tribute to the citizenship of our great nation. This man must be one who will deal fairly and squarely with everyone, who has but one standard ol right and wrong for all. The country must have a man w ho is going to deal justly with its citizens whether of capitalist or labor class, rich or poor., and regardless of their nationality, race or creed. He must be a man who believes in liberty and justice for all. who believes in the “all-men-up-and no-man-down" policy, and finally, a man who will not parley in the face of big issues. Such a man is General Leonard Wood, who was named in South Da kota a- a presidential candidate foi nomination when the national repub lican convention meets in Chicago this June. While General Wood w£s en dorsed at the republican convention in South Dakota, it was not a local affair, and that he is not a favorite son or a selection made for local rea-‘ sons is clearly seen in the practical character that the movement on the behalf of his nomination has assumed throughout the country. Leonard Wood is a New England product. He was bom in New Hamp shire, October 9, 1860, and while yet an infant his family moved to Massa chusetts, where he was educated. H< graduated from the Harvard medical school in 1884, and began his practice in Boston. Tiring of the life of the ordinary practitioner, he went into i the army and was soon appointed as sistant surgeon and first lieutenant. He made such wonderful strides that in five years he became a captain and full surgeon. His first record war made as an Indian fighter under Captain Henry W. Lawton, later brigadier-genera!. Reporting to Gen eral Miles, Lawton said of Wood, “Hr sought the most difficult work and by his determination and courage rend ered a successful issue of the cam- j paign possible.” In 1896 Wood was ordered to W ash ington as assistant attending surgeon which gave him an opportunity to be come acquainted with President Mc Kinley and also with Theodore Boose- j velt, who was assistant secretary of the navy at the time. Roosevelt and Wood became congenial companions and fast friends, for both had many tastes and characteristics in common These two were the organizers of the “Rough Riders,” which was officially designated as the First Volunteer Cavalry of the Spanish-American war. Roosevelt insisted that Leonard Wood should be the colonel of this cavalry regiment. Wood was, in a short time, appointed brigadier general, and Roosevelt was advances from second place to the colonelcy of his “Rough Riders.” Wood succeeded General Wheclei as commander of the cavalry brigade in the Santiago campaign, and wa= made military governor of the city and district after the surrender of the Spaniards. This afforded Wood an opportunity to show his wonderful ad ministrative ability. Colonel Roosevelt wrote in the Out look of January 7, 1899: “I was fre quently in Santiago after the sur render, and I never saw Wood when he was not engaged in some one of his multitudinous duties. He was per sonally superintending the cleaning of the streets; he was personally hear ing the most important of the count less complaints made by the Cubans against the Spaniards, Spaniards against the Cubans, and by both against Americans; he was personally engaged in working out a better sys tem of sewerage; or in striving to secure the return of the landtillers to the soil. I do not mean that he ever allowed himself to be swamped by mere detail; he is much too good an executive afficer not to delegate to others whatever can safely be dele gated; but the extraordinary energy of the man himself is such that he can oversee and direct much more than is possible with the ordinary man.” * * * (This comes from a man who was a genius in executive ability himself.) Following his remarkable success in Santiago he was appointed gov ernor-general of Cuba. He success fully organized the governing forces and administered in such a way that it was not long before the island was turned over to the Cubans for self government. Under the Roosevelt administration General Wood was sent to the Philip pines as military commander and civil governor. In dealing with the Moros and Mahometans, and in instituting a local government preparatory foi ; self-government, he again showed hi. executive and administrative ability. In the World War though denied the ] privilege of serving in France, he organic*! and trained two divisions foi service. Leonard Wood's qualifications foi the high office of president of this | nation may be summarized as follows: 1. He was a disciple and friend of our greatest statesman since Lincoln’. timc. 2. He administered to the colonies according to their needs. We need a man who will govern us according to oui present needs, and he is such a man. 3. He has had experience at home and abroad in handling men who had to be governed. He knows how to meet men in all walks of life. In other words, he knows how to govern fruitfully. 4. His vast experience has taught him how to deal justly with men in every' walk of life. 5. Being a disciple of the immortal Roosevelt, he believes in the principle “All-men-up-and-no-man-down." 6. His successful and fearless cam paigns in the colonies proves he is not a man to parley with an issue. Had he shown the least weakness In his government of the colonies much would have been lost to the country and he would not have been able to receive the hearty support he is re ceiving throughout the nation. 7. Because of his fearlessness foi right, he was obscured for a time. There is too much real man in him to be a cat's-paw. He is a man of firm and decisive policies, and not easily swayed by the winds. Such a man the nation needs. Thus Leonard Wood fulfills the needs of the people and of the nation and becomes a man for the nation and a man for all the people.
