General Leonard Wood is veritable "Captain Jinks of the
Horse Marines." In his political campaign he wears his military
uniform, is accompanied by a staff in military uniform and a son
in military uniform, devotes most of his speeches to military mat
ters. Being a hero of the dress parade is doubtless consolation
for not being a hero of the battle field.
"I have no campaign and no campaign fund. I am not a can

quiries as to campaign expenditures. Moreover he hasn't any
party and no one wants him but the people.
Every vote cast for General Wood and Governor Lowden in
South Dakota primaries cost $10, according to Senator Borah's

Kuntucky tobacco growers ar enow burning the other fellow's

John went out of the door and as he
turned to close, I caught a glimpse of
his face. Over it had settled that gray
gray cloud that I had always dreaded

didn't fear today as much as usunl.

Just seemed to be determined that I
would go my way, at least have person

John came back after he had had
breakfast, and his first speech served
to anger me more than any he huu
made before we went downstairs.
"1 can see that Helen Van Ness Guy

frame of mind. I don't feel any differ

her, and 1 reiterate my desire In the
