“FORD FOR PRESIDENT
(Reprinted from The Literary Digest.)
We want Henry *\>rd," say the 150 PowMor^Pr&aident Clubs,
ucattered over our broad land, and the newspaper and political experts
irish they knew how much political strength there isin the fact that
Mr. Ford employs 100,000 men in Michigan and influences 500,000 more;
that there are 7,000 Ford dealers throughout the States under strong
Obligations to Mini; that the people who have bought th*» 7.000,000 cars
turned out from the Ford factories are a rather numerous ho-r. by them
selves; and finally that Ford has a strong hold upon the fanners. ‘‘Ford
understands the psychology of the masses better than any man in America
and we may have to deal with him yet," observes the Peoria Star (Ind.)
The logis of circumstance, says the Cl rand Rupids Herald (Ind. I in Ford’s
own State, ‘‘may make him the most conspicuous contender in the next
Democratic convention." that is—‘‘with a big sector of the ‘^olid South'
shouting for ‘Ford and Muscle Shoals.’ and with Mr Hean?t obviously
Anting with a Ford coalition, and with the Northwest temporarily hospit
able to economic hbresy. and wHth a lusty Ford delegation from Michigan
as a firm and formidable nudes." It will not do, counsels a writer in
The National Republican (Washington. D. C..) to underestimate Ford’s
strength. And the New Haven Journal Courier (Ind. I warns its reader?
1n New England that the Ford movement "may not be dismissed with
a smifle." On the other hand, it seems to the Washington Star (Ind.)
that while "the Ford boom may be booming, the sound is certainly not
deafening.” Other editors ca'll attention to Ford’s anti-Jewish propa
ganda «s having raised up for him a host, of enemies. So we find a
matnbly journal called Progese, eddted by a Jew, devoting itself to con
damnation of Ford as "a pogrom agitator." "an instigator otf racial
hatred and religious bigotry." Because of this and other things, the
editor is convinced that if Ford shouild "by some remote chance" get hi?
name on. a party ballot, "citizens all over the country will rise up and
denounce Mm so that he will be defeated so miserably that fie will nc
longer attempt to secure a public office."
Henry Ford’s presidential candidacy has been undergoing careful
analysis recently by writers and speakers on political things. For in
stance, Mr. Norman Hapgood in a speech in New York the other day de
clared that "the farmers are just about 100 per cent, enthusiastic for
him, and that gives rise to the opinion seriously held by men of good poli
tical sense that he could carry several agricultural States running inde
pendently." Mr. Hapgood feels that the people of this country are be
coming dissatisfied with the leadership of the present political parties,
"and in looking around they see that Ford is the outstanding non-political
figure ot the country-’’ In this writer’s opinion Mr. Ford would have
«o chance in a Republican convention, might win by a stampede in a
Democratic convention, and failing of that, mfgh trun on a third ticket,
which would mean his defeat.
A triple alliance between Henry Ford, labor and agricultu:
t>e«i formed, says Mr. Carl W. Ackerman, in a. speech quoted in the New
York Times; he adds that in has opinion Ford is to-day ”th.- most power
ful figure in the West.” The Washington correspondent of a Western
EOiiwKpap*''. the Seattle Times (Ind.I, takes a -dsmilar view, considering j
Ford the one. man who. in the opinion of the rural! West, can give the |
progressive movement the national significance which Roomevelt gave it i
The lasi time William Ci. McAdoo was in Washington ho seemed the!
picture of health and confidence, write* .Mr. Mark Sullivan 1n the New j
York Tribune—‘‘barring a witticism that became current about McAdoo j
showing -a curious apprehensive nervouem-ss about being run down bv ;
a Ftord." That is. Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Ford are. in this experienced
political writer's opinion, the two leading candidate* for the Democratic ;
nomination for president in 1924. Democratic politic fans, we are told, j
hear that Ford ntends to enter berth Republican and Democratic primaries j
he carried the Michigan Republican presidential primaries In 191fi
and in 1918. was the Democratic candidate for Senator against Newberry
and ‘‘it is the hope of Ford’s friends to go into the Democratic primar
ies with the intention of bringing about a stampede and compelling the
Democratic leaders to face the dilemma of accepting him. under the
threat that Otherwise there will be a third party.” Mr. Sullivan ex
plained in the New York Evening Post before he left that paper for The
Tribune, that Ford is the “outstanding figure of Western radicalism.”
“The manufacturer by various utterances, and by his weekly paper which
appears to be distributed to the buyers of Ford tractors and Ford cars
by the regular Ford agents, preaches a steady doctrine of suspicion
against banks and bankers and holds out the idea that gold must be
displaced as the baetis of currency." Now this suggestion “meets per
fectly tlrte prejudices of farmers who want cheaper money to pay their
taxes and the interest and principal of their mortgages.” Besides this.
Fond “gives the idea that he can run the railroads more cheaply than the
pre<4ent privaite owners, and freight nates is the second of two issues
which the Western farmer is alldng about.
Evening Post dispatch of Mr. Sullivan’s:
“The farmer show* the beginnings of

Henry Ford beloved py the tanner, writes ;>iias liem in tn.e .vew
York Ttnirts. "bivause he has supplied the greatest conveniences of rura'
life in the tractor and the flivver; because hi- is beloved of Thomas A.
; Edftson who made possible the grea.test farm luxuries in light, the. motion
| picture and the Vfrlrola; and because he sought control of Muscle Shoals
! in order, the farmers believe, to moke cheap fertilizer.*' And where
does labor stand? The writer in The Times feeds cerUtmin that “if
j Henry Ford were the Democr attic candidate and Warren Harding the
; Republican candidate, Ford would have the Federation’s support.” He
i declares that labor does not resent. Ford’s open shops, thalt It appreciates
jhis kindliness and WbeTORjty as to wages. and—ino?* important. of all—
: the fact that, in one labor leader’s words, “he’s always using his profits
The. strength of the Ford movement, ns acknowledged by the Wash
ington correspondents of the Brooklyn Eagle. Philadelphia Public Ledge:
and the Newark Evening News. The usual angumeirt for Ford, so Mr
Suydam of the Eagle hears, “runs that Mr. Ford, a business and financial
genips, could run the United States Government on a sound paving basis
and that he ought to be given a chance, to." The News correspondent
understands that! Ford “is a popular favorite i:i tin* Soulth" and that hi?
name “4s likely to be entered in many States which have presidential
primaries, including such important States as Now Jersey and Pennsyl
vania in the East; North Carolina in the South; Michiga n.Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Wisconsin, the Dakotas. Kansas. California and Washington.”
“Henry Ford, who is the richest man in, the world, is determined tc
he President of the United States." is the conclusion reached by a New
I York Tribune writer who went out to Dearborn to talk with Ford and hi*
fellow-townsmen. This writer, Mr. Hoyden, Sparkw. thinks that the
Ford Mwitor Company’s organization is being used to funther the “Ford
for-president” movement. The Henry-Ford-for-Prefelden/t Club was
farmed in Dearborn on May 23. lmM. each man presen twearing a “We
Want Henry” badge. Each of the 7,000 Ford sale* agents, says Mr
Sparkes, has been sent a letter fro-m the home dub. anil 1F»0 local club?
now exist. The Dearborn Tn depend cut, wiith its circulation wefll over
100,000. will, we read, be “the Ford equivalent of a front-porch cam
paign.” A Ford broadcasting station "will be used in the preferential
primaries by candidate Henry Ford” Various plianks in the Ford plat
form, we are told, will be the evil of the gold standard, support of the
St. Lawrence ship canal, “Muscle Shoals as an, energy niiint,’’ the build
ing of a factory in Mexico “to pacify iit with quantity production of cheap
automobiles and cheap tractors," a-nd public economy. But When Ford
himself was questioned on, his pr**.sud» ii*;ml asp* reft ions, he refused em
pha t!ca Ry to commit himself.
Packets of the Ford-for Pr«*Ldent clubs deny, in abatements for the
pr.sa, thajt tb'-y have had any encouragement from Ford himself. They
declare that their efforts have attract.*1 uifeny promises of support which
will eventually mean the establish men.* of a club in every city and town
in the Unified States. The plan i« to secure the nomination of Ford
through the primaries on one party ticket or the <4tbler, and if that falls,
to put his name at tin? head of an independent tftk.it. Anofher Ford
organization, called the American Kconornlc League, with headquarters
at Omaha, is working for the nomination of Mr. Ford on an ind ipnndent

Ford's grant strength, in the opinion of the New Haven Journal
Courier. is that lie has been able “to make c one rate* ideas every man
has himself conceived." And so- —
"The hope and belief of greet numbers who are hard prebt and
