DOOR
Opportunity to Make Her Own Great Son
OHN
PER
SHING
President of the United States
J
When America needed a commander of our
forces overseas and John J. Pershing, of Nebraska,
was called to command, every Nebraskan felt a
thrill of state pride.
And when General Pershing had discharged
his trust with so great credit to himself and to Amer
ica, every Nebraskan felt that, through him, added
honor had come to this, his home state.
Perhaps another could have done as well, but
the fact remains that it was Pershing, the Ne
braskan, who, as commander-in-chief, organized
our brave overseas forces into a great aggressive
fighting unit, directed their operations and achieved
an unexpectedly early victory a victory that saved
countless American lives and untold American
treasure.
All America is paying homage to Pershing, and
everywhere he goes this distinguished Nebraskan is
saying and doing the things that his countrymen
would have him say and do.
The country expects Nebraska, Pershing's home
state, to name him to the national republican con
vention as her candidate for the presidential nomi
nation. Opportunity is knocking at Nebraska's door
opportunity to honor her world-renowned son, and,
through him, to honor herself opportunity to give
to the country for its chief executive a man of high
mind, of admirable character, of wide knowledge,
of broad experience, of ardent patriotism, and of
tested executive, adminstrative and diplomatic
ability.
Only three republican presidential candidates
will be voted for at the Nebraska primary April
20th. General Pershing is one of the three whose
names will appear on the ballot.
Were General Pershing not qualified to dis
charge the duties of president of the United States,
it might with good reason be urged that he should
not be supported by the republicans of his
home state.
r
But General Pershing IS qualified to discharge the duties of president of the United States. He has amply demonstrated his fitness for the highest
office in the gift of the people. And in view of ,this unquestioned fact all Nebraska republicans should put themselves whole-heartedly back of the
movement to make him the nominee of his party for the presidency. They owe it to themselves, to their state, to their party, and to their country to
