He Believes in Leonard Wood As a candidate for delegate at large to the Republican Convention in Chicago, I favor the nomination of Leonard Wood as the candidate for President for the following reasons: . General Wood has, as an administrative official, held responsible positions and has never been found wanting. He is absolutely safe and sane on funda mental principlea of our Constitutional Government, his feet are always on the ground, and, if elected President, will settle question for the general welfare , regardless of ita political effect. The Nation needs such a man in the Whit House eectf(j a delegate and Nebraska's preferential primary vote should favor a candidate other than General Wood, I will support such prefer . ential candidal L.

Larst al fcranr taedicina in lb World. UI mi APR Ml uv Hiram Johnson Will Never Be Nominated for President of the United States by a Republican National Convention, Says the Indianapolis News "Returns from Michigan Primary just now available show that Senator John son has large plurality over Leonard Wood in Detroit. The returns from ru ral districts will no doubt cut down the Johnson lead. Lowden was poor third. Xo one has any idea that the California Senator will be nominated, : The men who were fighting Wood have not the remotest intention of permitting the nomination of Johnson if they can help it, for none know better than they that Johnson could not be elected if nomi nated. "The situation is not unlike what it was in Senate when the peace treaty was be ing considered. Johnson and his asso ciates were treated with utmost defer ence and consulted in regard to pro posed resolutions for which it was known that they would not vote, but when it came to action the bulk of the Republicans voted against Johnson and for the treaty. It was found nothing could be accomplished by supporting' Lowden and Harding, neither of whom has made any impression on the people. A man of decidedly different type was needed and so Johnson was willing to be taken up, not with any purpose of nominating him, but simply to beat Wood andcreate a situation at Chicago which would leave the inside "tired men" to do their work in early morning hours and impose upon Republicans a candidate not of their choosing. So, though Detroit went heavily for Johnson yesterday, results indicate neither de feat of Wood at Chicago nor the nomi nation of Johnson. The friends of Gen eral Wood will go to work with re newed vigor, undisturbed by the result in Michigan. As for the old crowd, it may soon find that Johnson is something of an embarrassment. There is prob ably no man, unless it be Wood or Hoover whom it would less desire to see President." Editorial in Indian apolis News BEHIND CLOSED DOORS Votes for Favorite Son or Impossible Candidates Is a Vote for Uninstructed Delegation and Machine Politics. "Just a word about this fa. vorite son idea," said Wood. "I understand this is an elec tion for national office and voters in each state are free to vote for whom they wish. They are not limited in choice necessarily to some one born, married or resid ing in their state, or does business in their state. "The favorite son plan is one which has always placed a limitation upon the choice of the people and played di rectly into the hands of the worst form of machine poli tics. It has often resulted in bringing about in differ ent states what a distin guished political leader re cently said would be done in the 1920 presidential nomi nation; namely, that about 2:11 o'clock in the morning the nomination would be set tled by fifteen or twenty tired men sitting around a table in a smoke-filled room behind closed doors. We want no more of this kind of thing in this country. We want the will of the people as expressed at the polls em bodied, in the choice made at the convention."
