In defining what he meant by a Rosevelt Republican, Mr. Pin- chot mentioned General Wood, along with Henry Allen White, Hiram Johnson and Irvine Lenroot. On this quartes Gener- al Wood easily is the strongest possibility at the present time.
General Wood became a potent candidate for the Republican nomination the moment Colonel! Roosevelt died. It is generally conceded now that had the colonel lived he would have been the Re- publican leader in 1920, with little or no opposition. General Wood has not claimed the mantle of Roosevelt, but he had been so intimately associated with Colonel Roosevelt since the old

General Wood has been looked upon as a receptive candidate ever since he delivered his enlogy at the Roosevelt memorial exercises in Kansas City on February 9 last. His position was immediately appreciated here in Washington, and in a dispatch of February 11 commenting on the Kansas City speech said:
