Leonard Wood an Executive I tun for Leonard Wood for President, because I believe he is exactly thc kind of man, both in point of character and training, to administer the government of the country during the next four years. It will be a more critical time for the United States than even the war period. We want a man for ' president who will initiate and lead in a real reconstruction policy based first and foremost on American needs. At present American interests are either wholly neg lected or else muddled by a too rigid adherence to theory, utterly blind to real facts and conditions. In Leonard Wood we have a man of wide and successful executive experience; ' a man of lofty ideals, but who at all times keeps a clear vision of realities. We can hope for nothing but disaster if. the coming administration is not dominated by such men. ' (Signed) DON L. LOVE. Official Leonard Wood Delegates. Cut this out and take to polls with you.

The period of reconstruction, about which we began to talk soon after we entered the war, is now upon us with problems more complex and grave . than any with which the natiotfhas had to grap ple since the days of the secession. The admin istration, which in the summer of 1914 com manded u4 to remain "neutral in thought," and . two years later sought endorsement under the -slogan that it had "kept us out of war," subse quently informed us that this world would be a different and a better one after it had been made "safe for democracy." , THIS IS INDEED A DIFFERENT WORLD FROM THAT OF A FEW YEARS AGO, but most of us are convinced that, whatever its faults, we at least live in the best part thereof. Behind that conviction, however, arises an ap prehension, born of events during the past year, of impending attacks on the most cherished in stitutions of our republic. When law and order are defied, when the authority of the central government is challenged by organized groups whose avowed aim is to establish internation alism by the destruction of nationalism, it be comes easy to understand why the American people at this time are looking anxiously to ward their future security and displaying pro found interest in that group of national leaders from which most probably will be chosen the next president of the United States. The late war, the greatest in history, has left the world a legacy of social and economic problems more grave and troublesome than the problems of any other period in modern times. It will de volve on the next administration to solve at least some df these problems and to shape a wise pol icy which . ill; lead to the solution of others. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN in America and in Europe have been released from a titanic ! struggle which cost ' countless sacrifice Tn blood and treasure. These millions are now, recovering from the shock of .'battle. They are trying to find their peace bal ance. It is difficult work, for the world is still economically upset, and socially in a state of turmoil. Since that memorable day in Novem ber a year ago, when Prussian autocracy sur rendered, giving up its pretentions for world dominion, literally thousands of remedies have been offered for the war ills of civilization. It seems that not a single one of these suggested remedies can equal the simple and homely for mula spoken before an audience in Passaic, New Jersey, on the evening of January 11, 1920. The speaker wore the khaki uniform of an American army officer." His bronzed, kindly face was deeply lined with furrows and his voice rang with emotion as he said: "THE WATCHWORD FOR THIS COUN TRY TODAY SHOULD BE 'STEADY,' AND THE SLOGAN SHOULD BE 'LAW AND OR DER.' Hold on to the things that made us what we are. ' Stand for government under the con stitution. Stand for the homely plain things which really lie at the foundation of our gov ernment. We want ito stand with our feet squarely on the earth; our eye on God, our ideals high but steady." THE SPEAKER WAS MAJOR GENERAL . LEONARD WOOD, and it seems to me that in the above words he came nearer to giving voice to the thoughts that lie closer to the heart of T A"i?ri;an natin today, than the whole host of political prophets who have addressed us during the past year. t , no.AiKHiYf THERE IS N0 MAN in THIS GREAT LAND WHO CAN POINT TO A CA SS? ?ICER IN SERVICE TO HIS FELLOW MEN than, this doctor-soldier administrator. He has devoted his whole life to his country in a profession that is not popular, except in time of war. And yet his great deeds, bestowing hap piness on alien peoples and undying honor on his own country, having been performed in the capacity of a civil administrator and business executive. There is no parallel to Wood's Cu ban labors Wood's record in Cuba forms one of the shining chapters in our national chron icles, one of the fair pages in the history of civilization. TO WHAT EXTENT THIS SAVIOR OF CUBA BECAME THE RESCUER OF THE UNITED STATES during the late war was we of the present generation may never be able to determine. What we do know is that he stirred the soul of America by his courage and patriot ism when other leaders of our country main tained and enjoined on us a craven silence. HIS PLATTSBURG CAMPS became the model of our officers' training camps, and the model was in perfect working-order a year be fore we entered the war. Leonard Wood has achieved a high distinction as an army officer, and yet a more unmilitaristic, more democratic American you cannot find among the hundred . million inhabitants of this country.
