CONGRESSMAN WOOD BOOMS McCRAY FOR GOVERNOR.

Washington, Aug. 7.—Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, yesterday declared in favor of Warren T. McCray for the republican nomination for governor of Indiana. Some other members of the Indiana delegation (privately expressed themselves as favorable to McCray, but most of the thirteen representatives, exercising their usual caution on aS matters, are noncommittal at this time. ■ Mr. Wood, however, did not hesitate to Say that he is both “for and fer” McCray. “Mr. McCray would make a fine governor,"'" he said. “He is a good business man and a highly successful farmer. He is a citizen of high ideals and is clean. He is a republican of conviction and is known in politics, yet he has no political entanglements and represents no faction. He would win the support of farmers throughout the state. Many farmers of the Democratic party would vote for him almost as freely as republican farmers. I hope he is the nominee.”
