Detroit, Feb. 27.—(A. P.)—A po
litical paradox looms ahead of the
presidential primary In this state on
April 7, with the possibility of Presi
dent Coolidge being the choice of
the Republicans of the state and
Henry Ford, whose "I am for Coo
lidge” proved a political sensation
recently.
being the Democratic
choice.
"A few days before Mr. Ford said
"I will not bo a candidate against
him on any ticket, whatsoever,”
Ford petitions, circulated through
out the stnte were presented to the
secretary of state as the candidate
for the regular Democratic preferen
tial choice. Having got this far. the
Democratic londers came to an
abrupt halt with Mr. Ford's announ
cement that he was for Coolidge.
But they could not withdraw the
name, as the law specifically states
that only the candidate himself has
this right, once the petitions are
presented and accepted.
To da to,
Mr. Ford has not withdrawn hie
name, and has given no inkling that
he intends to. Thus the Democra-
tic hackers of Mr. Ford found them
selves in the unenviable position of
having agitated and consummated
the candidacy of a man whoso ex
pressed sympathies are all with the
opposition.
