the conduct of the campaign by Gen
eral Wood's backers in the Republican
party for his nomination at Chicago.
Some of Wood's big backers are - re-!
ported to be very friendly to Mr. Un
derwood. At any rate since the sena
tor's recent return from Europe, his
friends are naid to have assured him
that he can have all the financial sup
port needed to nominate him if he
will immediately cast his hat into the

candidacy to the legislature in his
home State within a few days.
The prospect of a third party led
by Henry Ford does not kok so
bright as it did a few days ago. The
refusal of the Farm-Labor party in
its convention last week to endorse
Ford has put in circulation two re
ports that may or may not iv.ve any
real foundation. One is that Foni will
announce his candidacy for the nomin
ation of one or the other of the two
old parties and the other is that in
