Republicans avoid Wood boom amid party battles
A Special Dispatch from Washington reports that the Republican National Committee largely shuns Gen Leonard Wood as a presidential contender. Despite Wood momentum in some states, party leaders and rank and file oppose him, favoring a field of favorites including Lowden Harding Johnson and others as the Chicago convention approaches. No Pershing prospects are discussed.
