ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO DUTY.

Concerning the decision of Leonard wood to cancel all speaking engagements on account of the strike situation, I have this to say, that coincides with every act of his career. With him it has always been duty first. I am reminded of what he said to his -officers after he had learned that he would not be allowed to go with his division to France. His officers had protested, but General Wood said to them: “Do not concern yourself about my case, but get your mind on the war. , If you would please me, play your part cheerfully and ■ well. That means when in potion neyer fail to take your objective and never be late on your objec- ' tive.” I am sure he would now say to us and all his friends “My campaign is in your hands and I want you to go ahead.” Your activities have been based not on your personal acquaintance with Wood but because you believed in the principles for which he stands. It will require more active work from the volunteers in Jasper county. For all his admirers will miss the inspiration of a speaking campaign but surely after all nothing is more inspiring than his high conception of duty. His last act although a candidate marks him a man of courage, where others would have faltered, he did not hesitate. The issue of law and order is now clear. This issue will always win in America. His decision was made voluntarily not on orders from Washington. If the strike is over before May 4th, we -may have a Wood tour. Don’t let up. LOUIS H. HAMILTON, Jasper County Manager for Wood.

LOWDEN WINS IN ILLINOIS

c '”■ 'V _ v ? ■- < ■ / WOOD CARRIES COOK COUNTY, JOHNSON IS POOR . THIRD. Chicago, April 13. — Governor Frank 0. Lowden carried his home state today on the face of incomplete and unofficial returns in the republican presidential preference pnmaiw with Major General Leonard Wood second, and Senator Hiram W. Johnson third, the latter’s name being written in by the voters. Return* from 4,256 precinct* out of 5,690 in Illinois, gave Lowden 203,659, Wood 136,428 and Johnson 37,028. These returns were from 99 connties ont of 102. General Wood carried Chicago and Cook county, but Governor Lowden’s vote in the state outside of Chicago gave him a lead which progressed steadily with the counting of the returns. Only the name* of Wood and Lowden appeared on the ballot. Senator Johnson’s strength was in Chicago where most of his votes appeared. Herbert Hoover’s name ’al»» peered on snme of the rmniha lican ballots. ' Thqre were no democratic primary candidates for president, but the names of a half a dozen democrajs were written in the ballots in scattering returns.

Women Vote A*. Courtesy. Governor Lowden and General Wood were the only candidates who made any ’ speaking campaigns in Illinois. ’ Women cast a courtesy vote in many counties, and in some places the election clerks failed, to separate men and women ballots. The women’s vote, however, was so comparatively light as not to effect the result and it was divided in much the same ratio as the male vote. The vote received up to 10 p. m. in the districts where Lowden* delegates were contesting with delegates who signified that they had no preference, showed the Lowden men leading with one exception, in the tenth district. Hard ’ Boiled In Chicago. • In Chicago, where the presidential preference primary was combined wi.th an election of ward committeemen, the kidnaping of election judges and workers, shootings, sluggings and other .acts of violence marked the balloting. Complaints of frauds, from intimidation of voters to marked ballots, kept the police and election commissioners* officers busy thruout the day. In one precinct 2,00 feet from the polling place, an unidentified election wori&er was shot after a quarrel. -The wounded man was spirited away before the police arrived. Seven shots were fired during the clash. Mayor William Hale Thompson, republican national committeeman from Ulinois, gained full control of the republican county organization for the next four years through the election of ward committeemen having his. backing. >

DAY OF DAYS ARRIVES; MAJORS UNDER WAY

National. St. Louis vs. Pittsburg. Chicago vs. Cincinnati. New York vs. Boston. Philadelphia vs. Brooklyn. American. Cleveland vs. z St. Louis. Chicago vs. Detroit. New York vs. Philadelphia. Boston vs. Washington. The greatest of all American days has day that the base ball lid is pried off throughout all this broad expense. There will be more frills, pomp, pop and pop corn present at the opening day ceremonies than since before the pre-war days. The curtain lifts on sixten well conditioned ball clubs, and the class of the various clans is apparently far above that of several years. Cold weather prevails in the majority of the sixten major league cities, but the ardor of fandom has not been frozen up one whit, and the advance sale of tickets has been very heavy. The rulers of the base ball universe predict that the year of 1920 will be a successful one in every way. i In the Johnson loop the. Cleveland, Detroit and New York clubs seem to pack the best base ball wares, and for the most part sport critics are predicting that these three clubs will finish in the order named. The White Sox, league winners of 1919, seem to be sadly demoralized with the jibsence of the capable Gandil at first base and ap efficient hurling corps. In the older circuit, the National, Cincinnati, world’s champions, New York, Chicago and Brooklyn look to be the strongest to the scribes, with Cincinnati and New York a 50-50 proposition in the predicting league. The White Sox open in Chicago with Ty Cobb and the remainder of the Bengal tribe. Williams has been selected to stop the Detroiters with Schalk receiving. - .Jennings has nominated the veteran Boland for opening day service on the mound, with Aainsmith behind the plate. The Cubs are at Cincinnati where with Ainsmith behind the plate. Killifer the backstopping. Reuther is slated for slab work for Cincinnati with Wingo catching.

POURED SHELLAC ON HEAD OF SCHOOL TEACHER

Schuler P. Hall, a chemistry instructor at Jefferson high school, was roughly handled by a group of ' high school boys Monday evening as he was leaving the Y. M. C.
