Eastern Paper Predicts
Pershing Will Have Four

Washington, New York and Chicago Dailies Record
- Significance of Rising Pershing Boom and Decline
of Wood's Pershing Would be Stronger In Con
gress Than Any Other Man Mentioned.
Lincoln.Neb., Tan. 27. (Special.')
Personal friends of General Persh
ing and those interested in his can
didacy for president believe there is
just cause for the optimism mani
fested on their part regarding his
ultimate election, ( especially since
the Pershing boom formally invaded
the east.
Canvassing the situation among
the political candidates to date there
are many signs m the political
bushes showing a direction of the
winds' favorable to the Nebraska
general. Chief among the indica
tions, perhaps, have' been the . per
sistent reports in the Washington,
New York and Chicago newspapers
in which the significance of the
Pershing boom has - been empha
sized, .','. ' ";
Will Have Four States.
The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eagle, re
cording the political pulsebeat in the
Washington vicinity, also claims
discovery in announcing the ' rise
and rapid progress of the Pershing
movement .at an hour in which the
Wood boom took on an obvious de
cline. C. G. Brainerd.,;, writing from
Washington to the' Eagle, sees signs
of-trouble- among .the- forces pro
mating .the.- interests of- General
Leonard Wood. At the same 'time,
he'-says,: senators and ' representa
tives in the capital look kindly to-
;-wanh the..candid?cy .of .the -gresteH
geefaJ, .Mui- suggests, : too, - that
P5rsRing;'"vefy " probably "will be
given the' "delegations' of" Nebraska,
Wyoming. Montana and Missouri,
at the June convention, for a starter.
This corroborates, in part, the state
ment of Mark Woods, chairman of
the Pershing organization,, that Gen
eral Pershing would have ."more
pledged delegatesat the Chicago
convention than any other candi
date. ,i
- Political writers and "observers in
.Washington meanwhile are. of the
opinion that in the final showdown
the race for the republican nomina
tion will lie between General Wood
and Pershing, according to a state
ment in the Baltimore Sun.
Between Army Men.
If the choice is to lie between the
two army men, there is a greater
hope for the Pershirtgf forces, says
the Sun,, in reviewing the rival
careers of the two soldier gentle
men. "The pitting of these two dis
tinguished ..officers against each,
other," reads the statement, "there
fore, naturally producess a pictur
esque situation. They have-been pro
fessional rivals for more than , 20
years, and to find them in the great
vuuirsi lln uic picsiucijty is a ire-
mendously interesting development'
in th political history of . the coun
try: - ; -..
There are reasons," however, be
yond the military record of the two
men which, no doubt, favor General
Pershing in republican circles: They
are reasons influenced bv the po
litical situation in this country and
by our new interesting national re
lations. Politically, the president of the
United States for the next term of
office, will need a united support
from congress, if he is to effect
any decided results toward recon

Delegate Jerry Howard of Doug

For Country, Not Parties.
Under both democratic and re
publican administrations Peshing
nas Deen entrusted witn some ot tne
highest responsibilities ever given to
any military man, and he has always
worked faithfully ana successfully,
without regard to the party under
whose directions he was carrying on
his duties. This record has won
for Pershing the recommendation
that he works for his country, not
for ' parties, and it is this recom
mendation that could be expected to
enable him to unite both 'of the
great political forces in an adminis
tration of reconstruction surpassing;
that accomplished by any president
yet entrusted with the destinies .of
the nation.

Pershing has-haa an opportunity, to

of success. He has represented our
government in handling the Mexican
difficulties,;- and" probably: under
stands the underlying causes of our
troubles there as much as any other
one man today.
, Has Studied Japan. ' ,
' Pershing was stationed in Japan
under Roosevelt's administration for
a- period of time that allowed him
to study the institutions and the
government of that country, and he
knows Japan's military possibilities
thoroughly as a result of his oppor
tunity to follow the Japanese army
at the front in the Russo-Japanese i
war,, acting as a military observer
for the United States.
His report on the organization
and training of the Japanese army,
together with a review of their
system of fighting and tactics, has
been characterized as the most com
plete and exhaustive report of its
nature ever filed with-lhe. war- office
of the United States, i i
When called by President 'Wilson
to handle our participation in the

sentatives of the allied powers in
a capacity that enabled him to-ob-

Sharp Letter to the
Criticism of Mayor
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Mayor Ed P. Smith's attack on
the code bill in a recent speech in
Omaha is- answered by Governor
S. R. McKelvie in a communication
in part as follows:
"You seem to have overlooked
something in your reference to the
unbounded power-that is given to
the governor by the code. The code
gives no power at alL It only gives
authority and fixes responsibility.
The governor points out that the
cabinet form of government has
been in force in Illinois nearly two
years, and has been recommended
by the "governors of 14 slates. He
says fhat not a single constitutional
officer has been eliminated' by the
bill, and that it has saved the state
an average of $10,000 a month.
In closing he suggests that whn
the mayor starts making comments,
he keep "somewhere within the
facts."

. ADELB GARRISON'S New thase of '
Revelations of a VVife-'
What Harry Underwood Did for
Madge.
When I have grown so senile and
doddering that my memory fails me
altogether I shall be able to forget
the motor drive through the woo'd
road to Southampton in which
Harry Underwood "set the pace."
Until then it will be one of the
most vivid of my recollections.
To him, of course, it was an or
dinary speed. But to me it was a
Valkyrie-like ride, in which with set
teeth and flying locks, my . one.
thought was to keep Mr. Under
wood's car in view.
The nature of the w.inding road
made this impossible at "times, hut
it would be only a few minutes be
fore I caught sight of him again.
From the way he kept looking back
I judged that though he was "set
ting the pace" he was yet keeping
strict watch unori mv driving, ac
commodating his. ideas of speed to
my inexperience, -and this thought
was the only solace I had in the dif
ficult task I had before me. .
For, queer enough, considering
the aversion which I had felt , for
Harrv Underwood. I now watched
him as a child would gaze at a fath
er in time of peril. The thought of
the man somewhere behind me on
the road, the man whom Mr. Un
derwood's graphic tongue had pic
tured as letting no opportunity sup
to sov uoon me, terrified me so com
pletely that -1 was glad to forget
everytning disagreeaoie aooui iianj
L'nderwood and to remember only
with deep thankfulness his great
physical strength, his quickness and
resourcefulness, and . his expressed
determination to protett me at all
hazards. '
"All hell can't get at you, if I only
get the chance to be in the way," he
had said, and the" ytry . profanity
gave me -a sense of ' security that
nothine else could; it was "so char
actcristic of the old dare-devil, par
ry Underwood I had known, who
stopped at nothing if he was enlisted
rn the cause of a friend. -There
were few cars on. the road,
and we were going at such a pace
that no cars had passed us. Instead,
Mr. Underwood had gone past three
and I had. obediently but . fearfully
followed an . experience , which.
made me feel as if my' heart was de
tached from its usual- position . and
pushed up into my throat.
A Favor Asked.
As the miles reeled off behind us,
however, with no accident and no
sign of the man pursuing us, I be
came less terror-stricken, more ac
customed to the tricks of driving
which Mr. Underwood was uncon-
sciously showing me, I began to
be able to take my eyes occasionally
frem the speeding machine in front
of me, almost to enjoy . the whip of
the exhilaratirg early autumn air
against my cheeks.
As if he had guessed my feeling,
Mr. Underwood suddenly drew up
his car by the side of the road,
alighted, and came back to where I
had stopped my own car when he
had given me the sienal.
"We're about out of the woods.
new,' he said. The rest of the road
is. fairly straight, and. there are
"more, houys along it. And, let me

"I always knew you were pretty

but I never, expected you to do- as
well as . you have today. We ye
covered the eroiuid ill short order I
can tell you, and I don't believe our
lriend can catch tin to you now
unless he's commandeered some
body's racing car. So if you'd
rather toddle on home by yourself,
go ahead. I'll linger along the road
here and sort of rattle him a little if
he does happen to show up. What
do you say? '
I had not thought an hour before
that my lips would be uttering th
words I found myself pouring out
to Harry Underwood, But the fear
of the man who had threatened
Alice Holcombe and me had become
such an obsession that the very
thought of finishing my journey
alone without the protection on
which I had' been unconsciously
leaning since the appearance of
Harry Underwood upon the scene,
robbed me of bravery, almost of
self-control.
"Oh, please don't!" I began,
changed my phraseology frantically
in humiliation at my own coward
ice. ,"If you don't mind, if it isn't
a bother to you, I'd much prefer
to go on as we-were. I wish

till the, brimstone lake freezes over,
and deposit you in front of your
own door. 1 only thought I. could
perhaps serve you. better this other
wav.
"But. we'd better, tje' hitting up a
pace again. My prophetic, soul tells
me that son-pf:a-se'aCOck back there
might have a . streak-of luck and
catch up to us, and I'd like to be a
little nearer civilization before he
does it." ' ' -
" The hum of a racing, car came
faintly to our ears. Harry Under
wood threw up his head and looked
in the . direction in which we had
come. .
"I'll be d d if he hasn't, turned
the trick, he said. ,
