Lowden has more than any other candidate. He is the second choice of more states than all other candidates combined. I “The people of Illinois showed their confidence in him three years ago by giving him an enormous majority for governor. j £His committee hopes and fully expects that the voters of Illinois will gp to the polls and register their approval of his candidacy for the presidential nomination.” — o — ...' .'1 Nathan William MacChesney, chairman of the Leonard Wood Illinois committee, said: “Instead of conceding Illinois, we are confident that Leonard Wood will get a vote that will not only astound the political leaders of the state but the country at large.”
