HENRY FOED FOR SENATOR.
THE fact that Henry lord has ber-onio a eandiuate tor
the United States senate, from Jliehitran at President
WilsonV suggestion, lias aroused reat resentment among
the nolitieians of lioth parties. The president lias smashed
many lime honored customs and shown that he is not at
nil hound hv established formula. His various actions
have caused much consternation among the worshipers of
precedent nnd he is persona non grata among the. profes
sional politicians, largely because he appeals directly to
the people.
Henry I'oi'd is a republican be says because he was
born that way. JJut in all essentials, he is a fundamental
democrat because lie believes in sociaj justice and is not
bound in auv way by partv lies and partisan prejudices,
He has had the courage of his convictions and created
wide spread indignation among the captains of industry
because he believed in the wellare ol his workers and m
paying living wages. J Us efforts caused him to be dubbed
a freak, but his example has reacted upon all industry to
Ilie beneht ol: the toilers. As a result, better hours and
better wages prevail in big plants and more attention is
paid to the conditions surrounding the employe and it
has paid in increased efficiency.
The incident of the Ford peace slu'p is being revamped
by the jmrtisau press to deride and ridicule Ford's candi
dacy and prove the assertion that while Ford is a master
mind of manufacture and a mechanical genius, he is theo
retical and, impractical and therefore unsafe. Yet the peace
ship Mas promulgated at a time when the real purpose of
(Jerniany was not comprehended in America and incom
prehensible to th(! average American, who fondly believed
the days of medieval barbarism forever outgrown. Few
then realized tho menace to democracy and civilization of
the Hun, and the peace ship was a sincere though mis
guided effort to end the heedless bloodshed and devasta
tion. Ford spent his own money in a worthy cause. His
sincerity is unquestioned and of how many politicians
can the same be said i
It is said that Ford knows little of politics. Perhaps
it is true. Jnit the average American knows and cares but
little of politics, and the average senator knows and cares
too much about politics. As senator, Ford would bring a
trained, ef ficient mind to bear upon the practical altairs
of government a mind accustomed to grappling with big
aliairs m a big way and hence nu'glit be lonesome among
the corporation lawyers and peanut politicians numerous
in its membership.
Ford has made the automobile a possibility for the man
of small means and added much to the business efficiency
of the world as well as helped materialy better the condi
tion of the toiler. He has placed his mammoth plant at the
services of the government and is doing as much or more
t nan any individual to help win the war. He is building air
planes, submarine chasers and battle tanks and furnishing
tractors in wholesale quantities to the allied governments
to help solve the food problem.
Henry Ford has revolutionized agriculture in England
and France and is enabling those countries, despite the
shortage of labor, to solve the food problem. "Catipillai's
of Plenty" is the nickname the French have applied to his
tractors and thev ant just il ving the title.
There remained in British agriculture in 1917, only
177,000 men of military age. The number of women work
ers had increased hv 1 10,000, but few women could plow-
ami more land must be plowed than ever before if the sub
marine was to be del led. Henry rord said 'use tractors.
offering all the patents and specifications of his own free
as a starter. When it was found England could not spare
the labor for manufacture, Ford built them himself. .De
livery began in January, If) 18, and -1,000 were sent over
by spring along wilh 1 1,000 of other makes and even
the titled women of England are plowing. England and
A Vales have thereby added H,r00,000 acres and (Scotland
and Ireland l.oOO.OOO acres in crops.
AVhen the first shipment of tractors was sent England,
!,,")( It) were sent France, and otheis have gone since. There
was no cargo space available, and they were lashed to the
decks of the government naval transports. Schools were
established and experts demonstrated their use. Crippled
French veterans man the "Tractor batteries" and plow
the fields for the peasants, clear to "No Man's Land."
The .Michigan democrats nominted Henry Ford for
senator. The republican politicians oppose him, but at the
primaries, the people who voted for him for president
when he was not a candidate, will see that he is nominated
and elected, because they have belief in his sincerity and
patriotism and care nothing about his politics. He may
not make a brilliant statesman but he will compare fa
vorably with the oratorical asses who have represented
Michigan in the senate.
