PROF. HOBBS

Reasons   Why   He   Will
Support Gen.  Wood.
il recent issue of the Detroit Free
Prof. Hobbs of Micb. Untyer-
jgives some reasons why be
a Gen. Wood should be chosen
e • R^publicaa candidate tbis
We have ep'toa -for only ex-
met* from tbis letter. Prof. Hobbs
■H|s> in part:The crisis through which
e^sowmtry is now passing has not
MeV'sarpasaed in eerionsoeaa since
^formation of£ the government in
^jtaalotionary days not even in tbe
Mrlad heading np to and including
sw WorKI War. Only a few months
asfej. So inne, the American people
eSTi. be "called npon to select tbeir
bandard bearers in tbe coming presi-
eetial campaign, a struggle to de-
Mtmiae wbat ideas and ' ideals shall
ontrol the future policy of the na-
|an & Unless all signs fail; tbe Re-
8ib»oan party is to be re- established,
if^ewer, and the ebpreme danger of
tatt party today lies in the weakness
f,its opponents due to tbe utter
spediatiou of tbe Wilson admits!s
ration by political friend and foe
Bfce Specifically tbe*danger is that
be ftoonteat will be regarded as ao
aay. that any candidate witb a
anoer inscribed "Anti-Wilson" may
^ut Msd so the blunders of tbe last
wo Repnblicanloonventions may be
spaated through domination 'of the
eocaHonary elements in the party.
!be present is a time for American
Sautens to examine the past history
nd tbe present programs of the
itffarent candidates and then indi-
ate wbere tbey stand and whom
bey are to support in tbe struggle.
*iiat they are not in politics should
take no difference, for professional
nd business" men should not leave
be field free to tbe politicians. :
[ I- bave long been an advocate of
lational prepardness, and it was tbue
bat my attention was drawn to Genial Wood, tbe recognized leader of
ho movement to prepare tbe nation
or entering upon its responsibilities
a the war, notwithstanding the open
liaapproval and the relentless
toreecntlon of a pacifist Administration. Never was it more true that
'Where there is no vision the people

troven tbat General Wood more than

ktverisbod, filthy, unsanitary, and
dagded with yellow fever, whose
eeopSe. were without experience in
K>litioel life, but were torn by dissen-
lona and discouraged by defeat in
