CHrCAGO, June 11. Described as the "outstanding candidate in the minds of the whole people," Major General Leonard Wood was formally placed in nomination for" the presi dency today by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas in the republican na tional convention. "A plain, blunt man, with a blunt belief in facts," Governor Allen said of General Wood, "he is today the best-known American. "No man in America has been given no many constructive things to do in this generation, and no one denies I hat whatever he has undertaken he has done well. "An unexpected period of confusion has come upon us in the aftermath of the great war. Old ways are lost and leadership, hesitant and inde cisive,, drifts upon an uncharted sea. "Under the weak hands of a timor ous government the social disorders and class-mindedisms, caught from the world 6trugple, have grown to alarming- proportions. Nation Denandi Jleal Leader. "The unchecked encroachment of sinister greed, the appalling waste of public money, the immoral pandering to clas3 interest and class prejudice have brought us to a point where the nation demands and the world ex pects from this great council a leader hosen out of the great need and not through the cunning of political ex pediency. "In seeking for the initiative and the prophetic wisdom to guide us in an hour that must be wholly con structive, we are fortunate in a can didate whose record reveals the quali ties needed for the task. "It is not necessary to ask for assurances from General Wood. There Is the witness of his service. "You ask for a business man. We present to you a record of four years as governor of Cuba, a record which gained him international fame as the most successful civil administrator the country has known. Leonard Wood's services in Cuba constitute a page of history which records the cleanest and most unselfish thing the nation ever did for a needy people Chosen to work out the benevolent policy of McKinley toward the peo pie of the island for whom we have sacrificed our sons, he was given free hand. "He reorganized the island and framed a model of government which stands today as proof of his sanity and constructive genius. His wisdom encompassed all the activities of the people. He touched with his vital in terest its dead agriculture, developed its railways, taught the Cubans how to make laws relating to everything from municipal administration to gen eial taxation. He builded American intelligence into a school system, re organized the struggling forces of civil life into orderly government, made roads, introduced sanitation and hygiene, stamped out yellow fever and pernicious malaria and fashioned it all with humanness and a stabil ity that has withstood the strain of the changing years. Organizing Ability Shown. "Possessing the highest degree of business capacity, it was something more than the work of a business man. It was the work of a states man who had not narrowed his vision to the purely business life. It was the accomplishment of a great na tional organizer. "A president must be a business man and more. He must be a states man. He must have a broad view of the Internal situation. He must know politics, for politics is what gives us our government, be it good or bad. Government is no better than its poli tics and to improve the one you must improve the other. "The vague longing for a business man for president will not be satis fled by one who knows only business. The president must understand world affairs and the crossing and re-cross ing currents of social and economic aspirations. It was the possession of this broad capacity that brought to Leonard Wood at the conclusion of his work in Cuba the commendation of the leaders of the period. "A president must be able to inter pret the shadow of coming events. We do not need to speculate concern ing Leonard Wood's foresight. "When the great war broke upon the consciousness of the American people with a terrific shock, it found that Leonard Wood had been prepar ing. We heard from him no plat! tudes about a million men springing to arms over night. On his own ini tiative he established the Plattsburg training camps, created the first line of national defense and gave to the thousands of magnificent young American men who volunteered a new definition of loyalty, a new opportu nity for service, a new vision of their national obligations. "We saw him accepting whatever task was given into his hands with the cheerful obedience of ihose who submerge self in service. In our state, where he trained many of our splendid young men. inspiring them with his spirit, fashioning them into the S9th division, the people witnessed his work with such pride than when the governor of our state, my hon ored predecessor, made him "by proc lamation a citizen of Kansas, every other citizen applauded. Great Denlre Not Granted. "We watched him go away to th point of embarkation and then at th last moment we read with consterna Hon that his great desire to take hi division to the field was not to b granted. "This man was no whimperer. Not an hour was lost in sulking. Not a word was wasted In criticism. Not an instant spent in mourning over his personal disappointment. We see him coming back to train another division. "If wc can, he said, "we'll make it even better than the one with which I had hoped to serve In France.' "The American soldier Is a citizen soldier. Leonard Wood holds fast to the traditions of the great citizen sol diers of the republic. A plain, blunt man, with blunt beliaf in facts, he Is today the best-known American. In the frank expression of his beliefs there is no hidden motive. No candi date for high office has ewer gone to the people of this nation with soul and mind so frankly revealed as Leonard Wood. "There Isn't an American worthy to be here who does not believe In the future leadership of this country. We'll have the leadership when we're worthy, and that leadership will not depend upon any international so ciety we may Join. It w-ill depend TMC DARK i-fcOSLS- STABLES upon the success which we make of the experiment of human government here, and to that call the instinct of every man must rise. "With full appreciation of the chal lenge of the hour. I present the name of the man who fits the hour Leon ard Wood. EMPIRE STATE FOR BUTLER Head or Columbia University Is Declared Needed Leader. CHICAGO. June 11. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, was placed in nomination for the presidency before the repub lican national convention today by Ogden Mills of the New York delega tion. Mr. Mills said in part: "I know of no man who Is more constructively minded than Vr. But ler. In many of our party platforms, with which you are familiar, he has invariably contributed the note of construction and progress in definite and concrete language. This quality has been recognized by every presi dent since Harrison, with the excep tion of Cleveland and Wilson. He is a tried and proved executive. No man is better qualified by training and ex perience to give that wise leadership that is so necessary to the re-establishment of a sound, consistent Amer ican foreign policy. "A man of vision, but not a vision ary; a thinker who does not make thoughts his master; an idealist who does not make dreams his aims; a man whose ambition is deeds, not words, and who has realized that am bition in practice: a believer first and last in his country and its institu tions, Nicholas Murray Butler is a truly representative American, worthy of the high esteem in which he is held by his countrymen and of the high position to which he aspires. "With full realization of the sol emn responsibility the state of New Tork presents to your earnest consid eration the name of Nicholas Murray Butler as the candidate for .he re publican party for the presidency of the United States." TRIBUTE PAID TO HARDING Former Governor Willis Nominates Buckeye State Senator. CHICAGO, June 11. Frank B. Will , former governor of Ohio, assailed the present administration as an oli garchy In which the few rule the many and told his hearers that the country faces a problem more serious than those faced by either wasning ton or Lincoln, when today he placed the name of Senator Warren G. Hard ing in nomination for the presidency at the republican national convention. Former Governor Willis charged that production had been hampered by so-called government regulation of businesfti and declared that the re publican party had been called upon to rescue the country ana save Amer ican institutions. He recited briefly Senator Harding s career in the sen ate, characterizing him as a man whose record Is the party platform. "for the record of Ohio s candidate. he said, "is the record of the repub lican party in the last decade. "In personal character, " continued former-Governor Willis, "he ha? the dignitv. urbanity and breadth of vis ion of McKinley. Like that other great Ohioan, he is one of the com mon folks best-loved fighting repub lican, who believes in the efficacy of representative government under party sponsorship. "In the name of Ohio republicans I present for your deliberate consider ation the man wno can carry unio and thus Insure republican triumph that modest, 'dignified, substantial citizen, that aggressive, sane, cool headed leader of men, that typical American, Senator Warren G. Hard ing of Ohio LOWDEN IS HAILED A LINCOLN Illinois Governor's Record in Gov- , ernment Is Cited. CHICAGO, June 11. Representative William A. Rodenberg of Illinois to day placed the name of Illinois war governor In nomination for the presi dency of the United States by likening Governor Frank O. Lowden unto Lin coin and telling the delegates to the republican national convention that once before many years ago Illinois was called upon to furnish a man when the nation was in dire distress. Three score years ago, Mr. Roden-, berg said, at a time when the pas-1 sions of men were stirred to their, depths, the nation turned for leader-j ship to Illinois. We gave them Lin coln and grandly, nobly, he met the test. Illinois in 1920 stands ready to consecrate to the service of the re public another of her great sons. We present the patriotic governor of a patriotic state, Frank O. Lowden. At no time since the birth of the republican party, he said, has there been greater need for the exercise of calm, deliberate and dispassionate judgment in the selection of a stand ard bearer than there is today. A spirit of rebellious unrest Is abroad in the land. Oh all sides are heard murmurlngs of discontent. The times are pregnant with the prophecy of gloom and despair. Confidence has disappeared and the splendid optimism of former days, once our proudest na tional asset, has given way to an ever present fear of impending disaster. Illinois, the state whose soil has been sanctified by the blood of the immortal Lovejoy, our first great martyr to the cause of fress press and speech, gave Abraham Lincoln to the nation in 1860. and Illinois, the state that is still the well spring of re publican hope and inspiration, stands ready in 1920 to consecrate to the service of the republic another of her great sons one. whose brilliant rec ord of public and private achieve- EXTEU AS EAKS Tn Eye "WM 5 ments is the very best and surest guarantee that under his leadership our beloved country will be raised from the obloquy into which it has fallen and again, placed on the road that leads to national honor and na-1 tinnal glory. Delegates, a solemn responsibility rests upon, the republican party today.- Many difficult and perplexing problems, social, economic and indus trial, growing out of the world war are pressing for solution. The best constructive ability of our great con structive party must be utilized in the solution of these problems. In that critical period upon which we have now entered the nation demands as its chief executive a man of clear brain and steady nerve, a man of vision, but not a visionary, a man of ideals, but not an idealist a man of works and not of words. Illinois has sucb a man. We present him to you as our candi date for president. We present the patriotic governor of a patriotic state. Frank. Orren Lowden. KEYSTONE STATE HEARD FROM Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania Placed in Nomination. CHICAGO, June 11. Selection of an eastern candidate for the presidency has become a matter of importance, Mayer J. Hampton Moore of Philadel phia told the republican national con vention today in nominating William Cameron Sproul, governor of Pennsyl vania. 'The great empire state now has a democratic governor," Mayor Moore id. ao have New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia. The situation is embarrassing to national republicanism. Pennsylvania is now n reality a republican oasis surround ed by normally republican states in a desert of democratic executives. And this on the eastern front where re publicanism hitherto has been regard ed as impregnable. 'We cannot afford to further weak en this republican stronghold. The selection of an eastern candidate, therefore, becomes a matter of im portance." Recounting Pennsylvania's history. Mr. Moore said that "as it was the keystone of the arch in the beginning of this republic, so is It the keystone of the arch today. "Pennsylvania has been the bul wark of republicanism, the anchor of our destiny in every national cam paign," he said. "In all fairness, the time has come when a candidate of the republican party qualified. to be president of the United States should hail from Penn sylvania. We know we have the man In common with our sister states. Pennsylvania seeks the overthrow of this seven years' blight that has shocked our American institutions and burdened our people. Pennsylvania realizes that a strong man is needed and it presents candidate who is in good health; who is physically fit; who mixes with the people and knows their hopes and ambitions. Mayor Moore said Governor Sproul was known as the father of good roads. He told of the many, laws that had been simplified since the governor entered office and referred to the governor as a modern Mc Kinley whose election to the presi dency would assure the country of an early and sane resumption of normal business. HI HAILED AS BOSS-SCOCRGE Power of Candidate Is Told In Nomination Speech. CHICAGO, June 11. Hiram Johnson was hailed as the man to "scourge the last of the bosses from the temple of the republican party," by Charles S Wheeler of California, who formally placed the senator in nomination to day for thp republican presidential candidacy. "The great responsibility is yours," the speaker said. "The American voter everywhere is saying of Califor-. ria's son just as Roosevelt said of him of all the public men in this country today he is the one with whom I find myself in most complete sympathy. "To the end that men and not mas ters shall administer the great trus teeship of the republican party; to the end that this convention may make no mistake; to the end that you who j hod ,n your handa the partyB destiny may go forth from these halls, trium- phant in the assurance of certain vie tory; to the end that a republican ad ministration may once again broad cast the nation with happiness and prosperity; to the end that the con stitution of our fathers and the high est traditions of the American peopl shall endure; to the end that the pa triotic principles and the lofty ideals of Washington, of Lincoln and of Eoosevelt shall live on and on and on the sovereign state of California places before you in formal nomina tion Hiram W. Johnson. The orator described Senator John son as the man first brought forth for presidential honor by California after 70 years of statehood, and left no con troversy in recent political history untouched as he sketched the sen ator's career. Mr. Wheeler attacked the argument of political geographers against can didates from the far west. "California would say to such men that this progressive world of ours has been moving right along," he said. "That the course of empire has stead ily pursued its westward way; that the hand and briin of men have not only spanned rivers and leveled hills, but they have now leaped athwart the ether and new highways through the very heavens themselves, "until the east and west are one.' "The California delegation claims the right to speak authoritatively for the rank and file of the republican party. It bases that claim upon the fact that It was sent to tnis conven- i tion by the stupendous majority of 160.000 American citizens, who in lit eral truth hailed from every nook and cranny and corner of this nation. By every sign of the zodiac this should be a republican year. The dis gust for the party in power Is uni versal. But notwithstanding all this there has never been a time in the history of the republican party when a failure to name the right candidate would so surely spell party defeat. "This proposition may be laid down with axiomatic certainty; "The November election will not be won by the platform of either polit ical party. The personality of the candidate and not the party affilia tion Is going" to elect the next presi dent of the United States. "The man who will enter the White House on March 4, 1921, will be that republican or that democrat in whom the average American voter places the most faith. "These voters have learned within the last few years that the most pow erful ruler in the world is the presi dent of the United States. They are smarting under a sense of personal oppression. No man can make them believe they are not the victims of the profiteers. They believe that the remedy for their economic wrongs will be found when there is again in the White House a man of vital force and broad human sympathies, and they ?re grimly determined that never again with their consent shall there be elevated to that all-powerful place any man who ha? not convinced them by his record th vt he is in touch with the needs of the average man. "These voters form the great middle class of the nation. They hold the balance of power and they will not stand for a reactionary administra tion. "A 'yellow dog' is impossible and a 'dark horse' cannot win. If you expect their vote, do not offer to them a cold, capable, nerveless, unsympa thetic, business administration. They are in no mood to take it on. "What they want and what they de mand of this convention is a candi date whose red-blooded, forthright Americanism transfuses it3 warmth to the cockles of their hearts and whose words of ringing righteousness bring new hope to their troubled souls. "Is it not the truth that the most important duty that confronts thi convention today is to see to it that the republican party is once again re turned to power? "Do yoa want another four years of economic chaos? Do you want other four years of the Wilson family in the White House? If you Insist that the father of the dynasty shall abdicate, do you want the people then to take up the crown prince? "If you do not, why then gamble with chance? Why close your eyes to the obvious? Why not admit to vour selves what every man of political vision knows that there is one re publican who can sweep the country; whose nomination will carry with it the absolute certainty of his elec tion? "It may be true that our near-officer class, the captains of industry, the disbursing officers or the primary army, and the colonels of the com missary who advance the sinews of war would prefer a military leader. But lam here to say for the rank and file of the republican party that " 'The plain Yanks "'Who fill the rinks. " 'That have the votes, " 'Are calling for the son of Cali fornia.' "Men of the south, if it be true that there are among your number hand picked delegates who have forgotten the obligation they of all men owe to the flag of freedom; men of the north it it be true ttiat mere are in your ranks political slaves who are being lashed into line by the blacksnake of some party Lessee, tell them that they hold within themselves the power to strike the shackles from their own limbs." WEST VIRGINIAN NOMINATED Name of Senator Sutherland Pre seated at Convention. CHICAGO, June 11. Joseph M. San ders of West Virginia, In placing the name of Senator Howard Sutherland in nomination for the presidency ' at the republican national convention here today, told his hearers that care should be exercised in the choice of a candidate inasmuch as the greatest crisis In the history of the nation is being faced. Mr. Sanders pictured Senator Sutherland as a man who could be depended upon to meet this crisis. "The people of the country want the hand of tyranny removed from about their throats," said Mr. Sanders. "The rule of despotism should not be al lowed longer to stand... "We have a man who measures up with requirements from West Vir ginia, whom I propose to place in -nomination here today. West Vir ginia has never presented to a con vention a candidate for the nomina tion of president. "West Virginia's candidate has risen from the position of editor of a newspaper "to that of United States senator, filling during -his career many offices in the county, state and nation, and rs serving a term in the United States senate, acquitting him self with credit and bringing honor to the people he so ably represents. His experience as a public official and successful business man, and his com- LEONARD WOOD prehenslve vision upon governmental matters eminently fit him to serve the people and discharge with credit the duties of his high office." BAY STATE SON PRESENTED Representative Gillett Nominates Governor of Massachusetts. CHICAGO, June 11. Representative Gillett of Massachusetts, characteriz ing Governor Calvin Coolidge of that state as a man who believes obedience to law Is liberty and declaring that this is a government of laws and not of men, placed the name of the gov ernor of his state in nomination for .the presidency at the republican na tional convention here today. Speaker Gillett told the republican delegates that the placing of such a man as Governor Coolidge in the pres idential chair would clear the murky atmosphere of Washington like a bracing northern breeze. 'I have nota word of deprecation," he said, "for the eplendid men whose names have been put in nomination. I can follow any one of these veterans with enthusiasm and confidence. But it is to the glory of the republican party that there constantly emerge from the ranks young men able to bear forward our banner to new glory. Such a man is our governor. He is patient as Lincoln, eilent as Grant, diplomatic as McKinley, with the po litical instinct of Roosevelt. Hi character is as firm as the mountains of his native state. Like them his head is above the clouds and he stands unshaken amid the tumult and the storm. 'I nominate for president, Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts."
