It is your one opportunity to let the country know where you stand. When you come right down to it, remember that you really will be voting for yourself when you vote for the man you believe in and the man you want. "You will be voting for yourself because he will be the man y< your ideas in the White House. NO PRIMARY in the history of Illinois has meant so muca to the average man in this state? The "Favortie Son" idea and blind partisanship should have nothing to do with this question. It is beyond that; more than that. You want the man whose character and abilities have been proved y . the actual conduct of great nation ad and international affairs; not merely tried in the problems of any one, state. This is the one time of all. others when an outstanding national figure should be selected--Leonard Wood is the man. Remember, neither candidate was born in Illinois. Both are sons ofic other states. One was born in Minnesota, the other in New Hampshire, Minnesota has already given her oveife whelming vote to Leonard Wood against her "native son" candidate. South Dakota has followed with at endorsement equally strong for Leonard Wood. Both have lived outside of Illinois Both now live in Illinois. Do not be misled on this issue. You should vote solely on their fitness fair President. . ' - • f •' - / Leonard Wood has been tested and tried. He found Cuba in a condition of squalor and savage anarchy. For more than a century it had suffered military oppression, which has few parallels in history. For more than two centuries it had been the feverplagued spot of the world. The streets were open sewers. People were dying by tne thousand. ^Theuland was infested by bandits and brigands--only profiteers flourished. It was Leonard Wood's task to build a republic out of this military colony, prostrated by four years of. warfare; to build a republic in -a country where popular elections were unknown and where the vast majority of the population couldn't even mark a ballot. "T' He cleaned the streets and rid the island of yellow fever. Beginning at the bottom he taught the people to read and write -- established a system of schools--and then trained them in self-government. He abolished profiteering nj indirinl corruption He provided Cuba with a conitttattoo and esrablished iwift, impartial justiet. 9 mesep**: He turned a bankrupt nation, notable chiefly for starvation, disease and disorder, into one of the most contented and prosperous countries in the world. Paid all her debts and left $1,000,000 in her treasi/ty. All this work has passed into, die solid achievement of history--a record worthy of a W ashington or a Lincoln--a training seemingly ordained to fit Leonard Wood for President of the United States. Neither England with.her boasted ability for colonial administration, nor France with her marvelous record, has ever produced so remarkable a genius in constructive government as Leonard Wood. Lord Cromer told his home government that the one man best qualified to succeed him in Egypt as Governor was Leonard Wood; but unfortunately he was an American. Leonard Wood has a world-wide, proved reputation as an administrator. He does not invite disorder by vacillation or indecision--his clear, fair, well-defined purposes avert trouble and render force unnecessary. One of the greatest gifts in statesmanship as well as in business is the ability to choose the right man for the right work. Leonard Wood has this ability. In Cuba from the very start he chose Cubans as members of his cabinet. That is one of the reasons they loved him-- that is why they worship him to this day. The Encyclopedia Britannica flatly states Leonard Wood struck off the shackles of military control to which the colony had been previously subjected and converted it into a nation governed for the Cubans and by the Cuban*. This then is the record of Leonard Wood in Cuba--a record of the far-sighted administrator and statesman--yes, a nation builder. His work in the Philippines it equally as marvelous as in Cuba. Theodore Roosevelt said of his work: "It would be difficult to find any when a finer record of successful accomplishment." In this crisis of the world's history we a man for President with the experiences qualifications of a nation-builder and a nationrestorer. y The secret of the success of Leonard Wood is that he knows men, he knows the world and its peoples. His work for Uncle Sam has taVtn him around the globe. He is a man of ptrt and yet of courage. Above all else--he it 100$> American-- strong, rugged and dependable. You need, the country needs, Leonard Wood now, just as it needed Abraham Lincoln sixty years ago, We uk ywi to reeohre to go to the polk Tuesday, April 13, and show your belief and confidence in Leonard Wood. The whole country is waiting to hear what Illinois is going to say and it is for you to do the saying. They are relying upon your good judgment and common sense. You personally are responsible. You owe it to them and to your conscience to vote your real preference uninfluenced by local pride or prejudice, or local politics.
