WOOD LIKE GREELEY Stenographers Were Perplexed but He Always Came to Their Rescue Gladly. Leonard Wood's penmanship is his weakest point, but in that he has as prototypes, Horace Greedey, Napoleon and many illustrious leaders of men. Clive Newcome Hart, who was his stenographer at Governor's island, writes: "And what a signature it is! Unless one knows in advance what it is supposed to represent, it might be looked at through a magnifying glass without being able to decipher it. "But no matter how puzzling his chirography may be to others, it is always clear and legible to the general. I had occasion to learn this very soon. He would take typewritten pages I had turned in, revise them, and scrawl interpolations and inserts and changes in the most terrifying way, and then I would have to make a fresh copy of this changed matter. "I was working over his notes one day when he booed: "If you can't read that, Mr. Hartt, don't be afraid to ask me—and save time." "He was quite right about it's saving time. It would take a coil board to read a page of his notes, and then one couldn't be sure that even one word was correct! "If this sounds like an exaggeration, let me convince you of the validity of my statement. "During the winter of 1916-17 General Wood was traveling here and there speaking in behalf of preparedness. It was part of Captain Johnson's duty—Captain Johnson being an aide to the general—to keep in touch with his itinerary. One day the captain came into the office, and picking up the general's memorandum pad, sawed in perplexity at the words sawed across the page in the general's imitable handwriting. The general watched him quietly for a few moments, then said: "What's wrong? Fear away." "That was his usual signal that he was ready to listen to what one had to say. "Er—excuse me, general,' said Captain Johnson hesitatingly, 'but but—I don't quite understand the memorandum. This sends, 'Here for lunch,' while my skate says you are not in town tomorrow—and I don't quite understand—that is. I've made no plans for lunch for tomorrow." "Let me see it,' said the general. "He glanced quietly at the notation on the pad, and said disgustedly, 'That doesn't say anything about 'Here for lunch.' It reads 'Leave for Ithaca.'" MARSHALL FIELD EXALTS. Marshall Field III, chairman of the Leonard Wood committee for Cook county, spoke for the organization which did so much to carry Chicago in the primary just before he left the city, with his wife, for Palm Beach. He said: "We attribute the victory in Cook county to the enthusiasm of every one of our workers. They were inspired by the genuine conviction that the crisis before the country requires such a man as Leonard Wood at the helm of state. They worked like beavers in his behalf and spread the zeal they felt themselves throughout the city and county. "We regard the down-state vote as a personal tribute from Governor Lowden's friends and admirers in his own state and not as an indulgence of the people generally as a candidate for president. We are more than ever convinced that Leonard Wood will be the choice of the convention in June and will be elected in November. MRS. WOOD LIKE8 TOILERS. New York, April —Mrs. Leonard Wood gave a tea for business women when she was in New York with her husband. "I am travelling with the general, but I am not campaigning," Mrs. Wood said when she dropped into the women's Wood headquarters at the Hotel Imperial and was pressed with a dozen invitations to speak at campaign rallies. "I'd like to talk to the stenographers in the headquarters, though," she addet. "They are the people who are doing the real work of the campaign." So the clerks and stenographers were summoned and shook hands with the candidate's wife.

Writes SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. T. ROOSEVELT EXTOLS WOOD Detroit, Mich., April — In a telegram to Republican voters Assemblyman Theodore Roosevelt of New York calls attention to the serious situation the nation is facing at present. He asks them to make no mistake in selecting their choice for presidential nominee. His statement reads: "We are approaching the election next autumn of the presidential candidate. We of the Republican party are going to be successful. Rarely if ever, in its history has the country been in a more critical condition, shaken by the strain and turmoil of a great war, and debauched by eight years of the Wilson administration, we are the prey of violent oscillation of thought. "The trend given to our actions during the coming four years will shape our country for many decades in the future. We need a man who will combine two principal characteristics. First, the fearless determination to preserve law and order and the ideals of this country—and second, the ability to conceive and put into operation the fundamentals of constructive, sane liberalism. "General Wood is this man. He is not a man whom we have to take on trust. He is a man with a record which is his recommendation. He has handled the most difficult administrative work with consummate success, as his record in Cuba and the Philippine islands indicates. There he preserved order under trying circumstances with justice and wisdom in such a manner that that order did not collapse when he left but remained as a testimonial of his success there. "He handled economics in such a fashion that general prosperity and fair dealing contributed to the good of all people concerned. "Above all, General Wood is a big man. He is big enough to desire to have around him only the best men. He is not afraid that the work of a subordinate will overshadow his achievements. We want Wood at this time." LABOR UNITED FOR WOOD Leaders See Through Attempts to Kill Him Off and He Is Now Stronger Than Ever. Chicago, April —The growing enthusiasm of labor for the candidacy of Leonard Wood for president is becoming a more striking feature of his canvass for the nomination every day. Carl Young, president of the Michigan State Federation of Labor, says, "Labor has seen through the efforts of the administration to kill Wood with the labor vote. Efforts to this end were made by sending Wood to Omaha, Gary and the coal fields of West Virginia. The hope was entertained by the administration that Wood would ruin himself with the labor element. "Instead, Wood by his fairness and squareness and his justice in handling these difficult situations, won the esteem and respect of the thinking element in the ranks of the toilers. He should have labor's support throughout the country." PROUD OF HIS UNIFORM Springfield, Ill., April. —Five thousand persons heard the address of Leonard Wood in this city. "I am here in uniform, with no apologies to offer for that uniform," he said. "Whatever I have done for that uniform," he said. "Whatever I have done for this country, whatever service I have rendered either here, in the Philippines, in Cuba, or elsewhere, I have rendered in uniform, whether it has been civil or military service. "The man who apologizes for the uniform insults the memory of every dead American in France. He is a man who strives to dishonor the memory of every American who has died in uniform since the Declaration of Independence, down to the last skirmish in the world war." YALE NOMINATES WOOD Chicago Alumni Give Him 142 Votes Out of 250 Cast at a Mock Convention. Chicago, April —The Yale club of Chicago nominated Leonard Wood for president at a mock convention. Of the 250 votes cast, Wood received 142; Wood Wins Jersey by Narrow Margin: Johnson Demands Recount of Votes New York, April, 29.—Hinama Johnson headquaters announced today that they will formally demand a recount of the New Jersey primary votes. Legal authorities consulted announced that Johnson's managers would request the appointment of a custodian of the ballot boxes. Nearly all returns are in and it appears that Wood is winner by several hundred votes in a close race, Johnson supporters in contain parts of the state claim that frauds were perpetrailed which caused the Johnson forces to act. The Johnson people declare Wood's great majority in Camden county was due to trickery. Notice Not to one but to all it is so you my sisters the Master calls.

THE FEDERAL MARSHALS THE BOYS ARE FOR HIM. These lads of the Hutchinson high school, Buffalo, N. Y., don't believe Leonard Wood is a militarist. They are all Americans, too! THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. LEONARD WOOD VISITS THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Photo shows Leonard Wood being greeted by a committee of students following his address to the student body at the University of Michigan. L. L. Stevenson, one of the students, is shaking hands with the candidate for the Republican nomination. STRICT ON PUNCTUALITY Leonard Wood's Rebuke Was More Dreaded Than a Ducking in Ferry Slip. "Leonard Wood's ideas about punctuality are very strict—especially for subordinates," writes Clive Newcome Hart, who was his personal stenographer at Governor's island for a month. "I remember one morning I missed the Governor's island boat at the barge office, and as these boats only run every 15 minutes. I was late in reporting at the office. I was deeply chagrined when the general, in his quiet way, suggested I might make the boat if I started a little earlier. I resolved never to be late again. "However, the next morning I arrived at the slip just as the boat was putting out, but I made a running teap and landed on deck all right. The corporal in charge of the boat rushed over and shouted in my car: "You'd better not try that again unless you want to land in the water." "I didn't mind being called down by a corporal half as much as I objected to the quiet rebuke of the general; and as I told the corporal, landing in the cold water wouldn't be any more of a shock than the icy reception I might get if I landed at the office late two mornings in succession." WOOD CALLS FOR THRIFT Demands That Nation's Expenses Shall Be Put Back on a Prewar Basis. Leonard Wood, who cancelled his Eastern war on account of the railroad strike, called attention in Boston to the tremendous expenditures being incurred by the government and asked that the nation get back to a pre-war basis of economy and thrift. "We have been spending money during the war with both hands like drunken sailors," he said. "The time has come to cut out all unnecessary expenditures and get down to bedrock conditions. We want to speak of our congress again as a million- dollar congress and not as a billion-dollar congress. The burden of taxation is weighing heavily upon us. We must spread the war burden over a longer period of years. We must take the strangle hold of the excess profits and other war taxes off the throat of American business and American initiative." WOOD FIRST IN LESLIE'S New York, April —Norman J. Gould and Thomas W. Miller, Eastern managers for Leonard Wood's campaign for the Republican nomination, received from Theodore Williams, associate editor of Leslie's Weekly, the result of a nation-wide poll that publication has taken. The result follows: General Wood, 2,374; Senator Johnson, 752; Governor Lowden, 204; Senator Poindexter, 172; Senator Harding, 88; Herbert Hoover, 104; General Pershing, 53; Governor Coolidge, 56; Senator Borah, 68. President Wilson, William McAdoo, Charles E. Hughes, William Taft, Ole Hanson also received some votes. NEWSIE. KING FOR WOOD. Cincinnati, April. —Jimmy Widmeyer, "king of the newsboys," has joined the active working forces of Lebhard Wood and is in close touch with the Wood presidential headquarters in the Johnston building. His news stand is opposite. Widmeyer has placed a sign on the stand calling for volunteers to join the Wood hosts in Ohio. Underneath the stand he has placed a basketful of Wood buttons, out of which all passersby are invited to help themselves. TAKES EXERCISE OFTEN.

We trust that every Missionary Baptist in the State has an eye single to that meeting, for the purpose of making it the best in the history of our Association. It has been a prosperous Association from the very start as proved by its rapid growth up to our last annual meeting. Certtinly there is no cause for a falling away or anything this year to hinder; yes, we can all make many excuses of the very hard winter, of sicknees, and distress, but let us forget the things behind us and look forward to May 26, 27 1920, the event of the General State Association. Let us look and work for a great meeting, not forgetting any of the departments of our work. I had a very encouraging letter from Sister Hooper saying the women of Chicago, were planning for a great meeting in Murphysboro, in May, and I trust all the Circles are doing the same. Come praying that the good Spirit may abide with us and we may accomplish much good. I am humbly your servant, Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson President. Adversity and Prosperity.

Lawrence Hunt plunged into politics at eleven years of age, four years ago to root for Roosevelt. He lived in Forest Hills Garden, L. L., and worked with all his might to bring about the nomination of his idol. He wrote a pamphlet, among other stunts, and called it "The Boys of America to the Republican National Convention." One copy he mailed to Leonard Wood, commanding the Eastern department of the army on Governor's Island, New York harbor. Among other things, Lawrence said that "a great army of American boys whose fathers are Democrats, will ask their fathers to vote for 'Our Teddy,' and the fathers will do it too, and Roosevelt will be elected." He laid stress on the fact that while "Preparedness" is Colonel Roosevelt's issue, his motive is "Peace on earth, good will toward men." Leonard Wood was struck by the mature ideas of the boy and replied to his letter in these words: "Governor's Island, N. Y., June, 6, 1916. "My dear Lawrence: "Thank you for your pamphlet, 'With Armageddon Abroad. Let Us Have Peace Around Our Christmas T. R. ee.' This is the desire of all our people. No one who knows anything about it wants war unless it is to save our people and the institutions and ideals when we believe are worth more than life itself. "Preparedness is not preparedness for war; it is simply a peace insurance which we think is worth while taking out because it will enable us to protect all those things which are dearest to us Americans. It will enable us to avoid war because the world will see we are not only just and well-meaning; and we are prepared to resist the forces of evil with the strength of the right. "I appreciate more than I can tell you the kind thought which prompted you to send this. All our people are interested in peace, but in the peace of righteousness, and consequently they should be interested in rational and proper preparedness. "Sincerely yours, "LEONARD WOOD." Lawrence was proud of the letter and kept it to show his little friends. He gave it to the Evening Mall, with the message: "The honor Gen. Wood has done me in sending this letter is an honor to all boys, in whose names I wrote my pamphlet, and so I am bringing it to the Evening Mall so that all may read this message of peace from the American army."

New York, April. —Leonard Wood holds a lead of 143 delegates over Governor Lowden in the presidential preference poll being conducted by the Sun and New York Herald, taken among the chairmen of the county committees.

Total number of delegates indicated by county chairman's preferences: Wood, 352; Lowden, 209; Sproul, 76; Johnson, 36; Coolidge, 35; Watson, 50; Borah, S. The poll, so far, includes 34 states. WOOD PARDONS DESERTER Recognizes Mitigating Circumstances Which Led Him to Leave Bunkies to Race With Stork. Omaha, April — Private Lester L. Duncan, a Nebraska boy, deserted the army in San Francisco when a telegram reached him announcing a pros- pective addition to his family. He returned to Omaha to find the baby in his home. After he had earned enough to keep his wife and child in comfort for several months, he gave himself up at Fort Omaha. As a prisoner he did his tasks cheer- fully, feeling that he had done his duty as a man, if not as a soldier. In February a court-martial recommended clemency. The announcement of the decree of the Central Department; came direct from General Wood. "It was a full parlor because of mitigating circumstances. NEBRASKA LEGION FOR WOOD Omaha, Neb., April. —Leonard Wood will receive 75 per cent of the vote of the American Legion members in Nebraska, according to reports received here.

At Fairbury the officers of the post had difficulty in keeping members from passing a resolution indorsing Wood for the presidency. KNOWS WHO KEPT HIM HOME Cairo, Ill., April. —While Gen. Leonard Wood was speaking from his train at Jerseyville, Ill., one of his hearers asked: "Who kept us out of war?" "I can't answer that question," General Wood said, "but I know who kept ME out of the war." Page Four Rooms to Rent Housekeeping if Required C. Smith EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL. Fancy Groceies Markets.
