BLODGETT FINDS WOOD SENTIMENT

INDIANAPOLIS NEWS CORRESPONDENT VISITS THIS CITY. W. H. Blodgett of Indianapolis was in this city Tuesday and while here found a very decided tendency among the Republican voters in favor of General Leonard Wood for president - . - ■ ' Mr. Blodgett came here from Delphi and reported that that city is also strongly in favor of General Wood. He believes thpt if the primaries were held at this time that General Wood would win Indiana in a walk. He had been in a large number of the cities of the state and everywhere Wood was a favorite with the Republicans. No man before the public today is so eminently qualified for the high office of president of this great nation as General Leonard Wood. His administrative duties in Cuba and the Philippines and his intimate connection and association with the affairs of the nation both in and out of the army and his matchless ability make him the one man of the nation who should be trusted as the standard beater of the Republican party and the leader of this nation out of the wreck and ruin into which it has been plunged by the Democratic mal-admfnistra-tion. General W ood has the esteem and will have the united support of the boys who wore the khaki. Soldiers of the great war are everywhere circulating and signing petitions in favor of this great statesman and general. Ts nominated he will lead the Republican party to success and his vdcrtiory will lead the nation back to normal conditions as they were under the great McKinley and the marvelous Roosevelt.
