Eight. Reason Why You Should Choose Wood 1. American lv0 Per Cent. Of native-born' American stack has devoted his whole life to the service of his .vountry. He knows intimately the people of every section of the lnited States and its possessions. Has always sacrificed self-inter tst for the good of the whole people. ' 2. Man of Deeds Not Words. Cuba, the Philippines, the PJattsburg camps, and the whole national preparedness campaign" are the imperishable achievements of the man who accomplishes. things with deeds not words. 3. Judge of Men. Always has chosen -expert subordinates and given them free rein under supervision. Selected Reed to wiipe out yellow fever; 01cott. Dodge and Van Horn to construct and develop Cuba's railways; and Hanna and Frye to create a modern school system. 4. Authority on International Affairs. Leonard Wood knows every section of our country. More, he knows every corner of the world, every people, their customs and beliefs. He is prepared to put our international diplomacy on as firm and efficient basis as any other administrative department. 5. ProTcd Leader. He has wider and more diverse executive and administration experience than any other man mentioned for the presidency. 6. Champion of Law and Order Peacemaker. Has stood, and stands for equal justice for the public, employee and the employers. By manly firmness, with prompt decision and action, pacified Moroland and restored order in Cuba and prevented disorder in steel and coal strikes. 7. Unbroken Record of Success. "It would be difficult to find anywhere a finer record of successful accomplishment." Theodore Roosevelt. 8. Equipped for Nation's Highest Office.

Wood's

embodies everything that could be desired by labor by capital by the good, sensible, peace-loving, home loving people of America. Leonard Wood is big enough for the president's chair so let's put him there. With" Wood as President there will be Justice to Labor Justice to Capital Justice to All

Here's What Leonard Wood

Stands For We must spread the war debt over a longer period of yean and remove the strangle hold of excess-profit taxation from business. The railroads should go back to private ownership under government supervision, which will handle all matters equitably. "A square deal to labor and a square deal to capital; a wage which, with thrift and industry, will enable a man to live and save; machinery to investigate promptly causes of strife and publication with a view to building up sound public opinion; closest relations between employers and employees; suitable working conditions; abolition of child labor. "Co-operation with the farmer and understanding and solution of his problems, the decline of agriculture being one of the greatest troubles of the age. We must make education and special training for the farmers' children easily obtainable; schools and highways in the rural districts must be of city standard; there must be a Department of Agriculture in full and intelligent co-operation with the farmers and the great farm organizations, securo provision should be made to enable farmers to obtain adequate credit so as to extend farming interests of the country; I believe in the gradual abolition of farm tenancy and ownership of the land by the tiller; the present Farm Bureau System must be extended to solve economic problems of the farmer. "America should take all possible steps to build up a substantial merchant marine. The American flag once more should sweep the seas from the staffs of our trading vessels. It would develop commerce and furnish a new outlet for the energy of our workers. "Our first word should be 'Steady'; and our next "Law and Order. We should deal with a firm hand with the rebel in our ranks, but we must keep our heads all the time." "I believe in a tariff to protect such of our industries as need protection. It will vary with the change of conditions which will occur as European nations gain increased strength and vigor for industrial competition. "These are brief but are enough to build up a respect for law and order, the rights of property, the rights of individuals, no class legislation, a government under the constitution, each department functioning within its own limits." t
