WATKU PERMIT.
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, and probably every other
newspaper in America, is in receipt of a letter from
'the Leonard Wood Campaign Committee offering to fur-J
nish "news" relative to the candidacy of General Leonard
Wnnri for the nresidencv. as follows: i
. . r j T
(1) Weekly political news letter.
(! Weekly press bulletin containing news of the Wood campaign.
(1) Plates containing feature cuts of Wood. -
(4) Two column Wood stories in plate 3 often as ccampaign war
rants distribution.
&) Cuts of Wood and any special servicce desired to promote his can
didacy.
This matter is furnished free to newspapers that will
print it with the object of creating a sentiment favorable
to Wood's candidacy. It is propaganda, designed to in
fluence the unsuspecting public a stale trick of poll
ticians to secure a semblancce of substance for their
shadowy claims.
News matter accompanying the offer describes
growth of Wood sentiment and how the candidate has al
ready captured various states for the national conven
tion. By this it is meant that certain politicians have
lined up to put Wod across as for the people, they have
not been consulted, and the politicians are doing their
choosing for them. In direct primary states, however, it
hence the otfer

Hanna demonstrated how to raise it. It is the way of the
politicians of both parties, and the voter is given his
choice of men chosen for them.
This year the politicians are planning not only to
name the nominees but to write the platform in advance.
The republican platform is being construccted now, by
a committee named by National Chairman Will H. Hays,
so that all the convention will have to do is to go through
the form of approving the platform written and candi
date chosen in advance which seem j to mark the passing
of that old American institution the party convention,
The people have it in their power, however, to name
the next president by forcing the hands of the politicians.
A popular uprising in behalf of any one will insure his
selection by one party or the other, or create a new party
that will sweep both old parties to defeat for the only
difference between them is that one has the off icces arid
the other wants them. It is time the people exercised
their rights.

FOLLOWING the lead of many eastern newspapers, the
dential candidates. All the avowed candidates names are
printed, together with those who are mentioned but not
candidates. Blank lines are left to write in your favor

The vote will be an index to popular sentiment exist
ing three months before the primaries and five months
before the convention. Between now and then, there will
be more or less of a re-alignment.
The straw ballot will be interesting as it will reflect
public opinion 'before it has been crystalized by propagan

"The doctor says that you may sit

Her Information was so comforting
that I forgot all about everything ex

went to sleep almost as soon as I was
left alone.
The next morning, after the doctor
came, the nurse got me out Into the big
