THE FORD BOOM FOR PRESIDENT There is much being said and written on the pro posed candidacy of Henry Ford for the presidency of the United States. That he is one ol the most suc cessful business men in America no one can deny, but to place him in the presidential chair and expect oi him as successful and administration as he has mot with in the manufacturing of automobiles may bring disappointment to the people of the nation. Tms is no time for experimenting; it is a time when the dem ocrats of the nation should choose n leader who has been tried and found to possess every qualification to fill this, the highest office in the nation, and tho one with the greatest responsibilities. The repub licans, have made an absolute failure in the adminis tration of the affairs of the nation and the leaders of that party realize that President Harding has not measdred up to the responsibilities of the office. In their own ranks there is extreme doubt as to the ad visability of renominating him again. The people of tho nation are not satisfied with Harding and his pol icies, and regardless of party lines or factions a strong man nominated by the democrats will draw a large percentage of republican votes. Either Underwood ,or McAdoo can he elected on the dgmocratis ticket. It would bo a mistake for the democrats to consider or undertake to sidestep the nomination of a pronounced democrat and seek to bring into the party Mr. Ford, who has never been a democrat, and who if we are reliably informed, has never taken an interest in cither party. But be that as it may, a tide of popular favor here and there will not elect a president. It must be centered throughout the nation on a recognized leader and democrat. The line-lip is coming and it will bo fought out on party lines-and on the capability of the man who is. con- | s id creel the strongest in intellect and resourcefulness for tfie successful direction of tbe affairs of the na tion. 't- It is no time for compromising nnd running off af ter what appears to Ira popular clamor for this or I that man- Let the leaders of the democratic party make'up their minds that they are going to nominate a tried and true democrat and go before the people r of the nation in an open and frank manner with a platform which is stable and sound for the com mercial interests of the country. , | THE NATION MOURNS HIS DEATH [ Suddenly and unexpectedly death came to President i Harding in San Francisco Thursday evening at 10:30, eastern time. On the president’s return from Alaska he suffored ( a serious attack of ptomaine poisoning nnd other complications set in which enused the nation alarm oyer his conditoin. He rallied and press reports in dicated his improvement nnd nn early restoration to health. Suddenly and without warning , the an nouncement of his death was broadcasted throughout the world, carrying with it a shock to all nations. President Harding was n man who possessed a most loveable character; conservative in thought; high ideals of life; just and fair to all irrespective , of party; considerate and devoted to his family, ho endeared himself to a nation which honored, respect ed and loved him. *; Tho nation has sustained nn irreparable loss in his , death and tho sympathies of all nations will be ex tended to this country and to his family. t Keep the extension of the white way in mind.
