WOOD FAVORS
U.S. SOFT VOICE
AND BIG STICK
Letter States International as
Well as Domestic Cam- *
paign Platform.
ELEVEN POLICIES GIVEN
“Speak softly but carry a bis stick”
is the attitude of Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood toward international policies, ac
cording to an announcement made today
through a letter written by the general
to a friend.
The platform on which Gen. Wood pro
poses to conduct his administration,
should he be successful in his campaign,
contains eleven points, including:
Spreading the war burden over a
longer period of years.
Return of the railroads to private
ownership under government super
vision.
A strong international policy and
the nse of the "big stick” in the pro
tection of American trade.
A small but excellent army and
ever ready navy.
A well equipped diplomatic and
consular service.
A square deal to capital and a
square deal to labor.
A protective tariff.
A vigorous program of development
of commerce.
A budget system.
More respect for law and order and
property rights.
The functioning of each governmen
tal department strictly within its
constitutional limits.
A fight between Gen. Wood and Senator
Hiram Johnson in their rivalry to lie
come successors to Theodore Roosevelt
is in progress, according to dispatches
from Washington.
ROOSEVELT PRAISE
FOR WOOD’S RIVAL.
The Johnson campaign managers have
made public a letter written by Col.
Roosevelt in 191 G in which he says:
“Hiram Johnson, of all public men in
this country, is the one with whom I
find myself in most complete sympathy.
You are perfectly safe in following his
lead.”
Gen. Wood’s supporters, however, were
ready to dispute this claim. In the first
place, they pointed out, the letter is four
years old and conditions have changed
greatly since it was written. Second,
Roosevelt said that of the men in public
life Johnson was the one with whom he
was in closest sympathy. Wood was not
in public life, but that did not mean that
he and Roosevelt were not in close sym
pathy, the Wood supporters contend.
According to Washington dispatches,
Johnson has canvassed the senate and
has decided that the .treaty will be rati
fied. It is said, therefore, that lie will
proceed with a campaign advocating the
withdrawal of the T'nlted States from
the leagne of nations.
Zell C. Swain, Indiana manager for
Senator Johnson. Las wired Senator
Johnson asking him to visit Indianapolis
for a conference with his state workers.
The message asked the senator to stop
over in Indianapolis on his return trip
from a eampaign tour of North Dakota
and South Dakota which started today.
SPEAKING TOIR
TO BE ARRANGED.
The object of the conference, Mr. Swale
said, would lie to arrange for the speak
ing tour of Indiana in April in which
Senator William E. Derail will aecom-
I any the Califorfiian into this state to
give momentum to the Johnson move
ments.
It is probable that Indiana women will
not be permitted to vote in the presi
dential primaries. Charles O. Roe\nler
and Will H. Thompson have informed
Frederick E. Schotemeier, secretary of
the republican state committee, that they
believe that the law granting women the
right to vote for presidential electors
next November does not confer the power
to express a choice in the primaries.
The opinion is in accordance with a re
cent opinion expressed by W. W. Spen
cer, a democratic member of the state
board of election commissioners.
The attorneys also agreed that women
can not be delegates to the state conven
tions under the Indiana law, hut that
they can be delegates to the national con
vention as the conventions are the judge
of their own membership.
It was the opinion of the attorneys
that the legislature can confer on women
the power to vote at presidential pri
maries and it was thought probable rhnt
this subject would be taken up if a
special sessinu of the legislature is
called'-by Gov. Goodrich.

INTEREST HIGH
IN AUTO SHOW
Local Exhibits Will Reveal
First Post-War Models.
Asa spectacle showing what wonders
American Ingenuity can accomplish, the
twentieth automobile show of ttye Indian
apolis Automobile Trade association, to
be held in the Manufacturers’ building at
the state fairgrounds March 8 to 13, will
be of deep interest to every patriotic
American, exhibitors and officials of the
association predict. The show will be
i noteworthy, too, as a great celebration of
the complete post-war resumption of all
activities in the motor industry.
The seventy-five makes of passenger
cars to be shown at the twentieth show
in reality are the first post-war models.
The cars produced in 1919 were little
. more than refined and slightly changed
j replicas of pre-war models. This was
| due to the fact that automotive engi
! neers, almost to a man, were engaged
In the designing of war materials. Few,
if any, had given thought to the details
of the cars of coming peace times prior
to the signing of the armistice. Between
Armistice day and the date when the
1919 cars had to he produced there was
entirely too little time to permit of
much real thought and planuing. So,
with the lapse of more than a full year
of peace, this year's cars may be called
the first after-war designs.
The automobile industry does not re
gret its wartime experience, for many
valuable lessons were learned. Today the
things developed to help beat the Huh are
being put into practice in motor produc
tion for the utility and comfort of the
American people.
While there are numerous improve
ments in the cars to be seen at the
twentieth show, experts who have viewed
many of the same products at the Chi
cago and New York exhibitions say that
there is emphasized in them the logical
development of a great many tendencies
in design which have been growing for
several years. Cars are on a higher plane
both in quality and price. The price
raise is Justifiable, experts say, not only
because of higher costs of materials and
labor, but because superior workmanship
and specifications have been used in the
1920 products. Demand for quality, with
price as a secondary consideration, is
becoming a more and more universal
trait of Americans. This has affected in
many ways the models which may be

seen at the twentieth show. Motor mak
ers who formerly set a price and built
a car to conform to It, now make the car
and then fix the price.
Indiana people will have their oppor
tunity to observe all these things at the
Indianapolis exhibition, in as great de
tail its they would have had at the na
tional shows, with the added atteraction
contained in the superior beauty of the
local affair.
