Houston, Tex.jApril 19 (Special) Following an extensive trip through NebraskaMo investigate po litical conditions, jpascom N. Tim njons, Washington correspondent of the Houston Chronicle, writes ihe following survey based on his ob servations while in that state: I "Nebraska tomorrow is the po Ijtical center oft America. "Moreover this great western ag ricujtural state is on trial. It will cast its vote either for radicalism as represented by Hiram Johnson, or for 100 per cent Americanism as personified in John J. Pershing. "That is my opinion after talking to all elements in Nebraska. The third candidate before the Nebraska people is Leonard Wood, but his support has laded so rapidly in the last week that there is no longer any probability that he will be anywhere in the race. Would Pick Pershing. "The last shifts have been made and the voters are waiting for the opening of the ballot boxes. It's a horse race between fershing; ana Johnson right down to the stretch. If ! were wagering on the result. my choice would ue tne colors oi John J. Pershing. " , ,"My intention is not to convey to Texas the idea "that the Johnson stripe of radicalism nearly approxi mates the pure Americanism of Ne braska. "The danger lies that Wood, hope lessly third, will draw enough votes from Pershing to give Johnson the state. There is the likelihood that many good, solid Americans have been deluded by the great advertis ing campaign of the Wood camp in the last few days, and will lose sight of the fact that the race is between Pershing and Johnson. "General Wood's entry into1 this state was unfortunate.. If -he is op posed to radicalism as he says he is, it is still more unfortunate that he remained in the trace', to divide the own candidate, chance. vote of the state's and give Johnson a Omaha and' Lincoln, Safe. "The Wood camps, though to the neutral observers clearly outdis tanced, have been making extrava gant claims just as they did in his fatal campaign in Illinois and Mich igan; ' "For instance, at Lincoln, where Wood appeared Saturday, his back ers printed a full page advertisement asserting that 188 Wood delegates havealready been elected1. "As a matter of fact, of more than 300 delegates already chosen. Gen eral Wood actually has 74, with the prospect that he wjll, lose 17 from Georgia and 12 frbm Minnesota. L where contests are on, leaving him 45. v ' v "From sentiment as I have gathered it, Pershing will go out of Lancaster county, in which-Liucoln, his home, is located, with a tremendous lead; will carry Omaha and Douglas coun ty by a good plurality and will roll up a heavy majority in Cass, Cherry, Madison, Adams and Hall, all large counties. Wood Gets Dodge County. . ''Johnson's vote will come chiefly, from Custer, Valley, Webster, Platte, Cummins and Pierce counties. Per suing! will run well in these coun'' ties and may take one or two of them. " v N "The chief Wood strength seems to be in Dodge county, of which Fremont is the principal city, but even here Johnson will give him a battle. "Pershing is likely to run third in Dodge county, and this is the only county in which lieydoes not figure to run first, or at least second. "In addition Pershing will run strong with the silent voters. It is what I said in an early paragraph, a horse qace hetwen Pershing and Johnson, with the danger that Wood will get just enough votes to give the victory to the radical from Cal ifornia." 1 (Jef )Fhese Names hy Heart- Unless you" want John J.
