Colonel of the 1st Volunteer Cavalry (Roosevelt's Rough Riders), leading
it in the Cuban operations at Las Guasimas and San Juan Hill in June 1898. He
served as Military Governor of Cuba from 1898-1902. Promoted to

1903, Wood was transferred to the Philippines, where he served as Governor of
Moro Province, 1903-1906. He commanded the Philippines Division from
1906-1908. Just six months after he signed this letter, at the Republican
National Convention held from June 8-12, 1920, General Wood led 18 potential

had 156, second to Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding, who had 692 votes and the
