WILL FORD BE NOMINATED ? Uls Generally Conceded That He Will But Plans Are Under Wav To De feat him. Washington, July 16.—Henry Ford's agents here have let it be known that his name will be pre sented to the Democratic primar ies in all the states where presi dential primaries are to be held. He will seek the nomination of the Democratic partv for presi dent. There'is no longer any doubt about that and it certainly ha 9 helped to clear the atmos phere. It is revealed not only by straw ballots but in many other i ways that the Detriot car build ?r has developed immense pop ular strength thruout the coun try. Democratic leaders are therefore beginning to take measures to prevent Ford from the nomination. They are marshalling all the other candidates in the field against him. They know he can not be defeated in securing primary de legates by putting up nobody against him. It is the whole field against Ford and the battle is on in dead earnest. Last week the followers of William G. McAdoo met in New York and organized with a de finite view of beating Ford at the primaries in states where the former secretaiy of the treasury has any real strength. Governor Alfred Smith's forces have fol lowed McAdoo's iead and the Un derwood organizers here have l fallen in line with this policy and^ STOItES WW ! MM MM Walnut Cove, N. C.

Sen ator Ralston i 9 regarded as very much in the race. The purpose of the leaders is to get the name of every candidate in the field on on the ticket in states where the primaries are to be held so as to poll every possible vote against Ford. The leaders recognize that se curing delegates by the preferen tial primary as conditions now j are, is one of the most costly phases of politics. These primary delegates can be secured only by efficient organization and tireless labor and in the present struggle there is no time to be lost. Ford's car selling agency, the greatest selling agency in the country, is attempting to sell him for president with every car that it sells and in many of the western states it is succeeding. So there must be haste to array the field against Ford, but all possible candidates must join in to make the opposition more ef ficient and prevent the primary from becoming a farce. The 1 favorite-state son idea will be al lowed to prevail where such a son is strong enough to beat Ford. The leaders say that they do not at present fear that Ford will be nominated. If he had all the primary delegates and had no J others, he would have less than 1 THE DANBURY REPORTER. j a majority of the convention and !it requires two-thirds to nomi ; nate.The nomination will be made on the floor of the convention as j it ha 9 always been done, but the leaders do fear the psychology of ! the situation if Ford starts in ! winning the first state where pri maries are held. His initial suc cess may and probably would hav? a strong influence on the balance of the country. They feel that it is of the utmost im portance to beat him in the early primaries. The certainty that Ford will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination is about as unwelcome news to the Republicans as the fall below a dollar in the price of wheat. Indeed the two events are very smaller in political import. Not a few Republicans believe the Democratic leaders can pre vent his nomination and if he is nominated, they frankly concede his election by the greatest land slide ever known in the country's history. It is hard to find a Re publican in Washington who be lieves Harding can be elected at all and as against Ford the election of the car builder is al ready underwritten. Ford's friends say they do not fear that he will or can commit any mistake that will militate against him as a candidate. His declaration that "they avow, has had the effect of demonstrat ing what a free and independent character the man is, just the sort of man needed for the pres ent crisis."

Detroit, Mich., July -1. —Sal- vaging of approximately 90.000, - .000 feet of lumber annually at its Highland Park plant is the Ford Motor Company's con tribution to national forestry con servation. Aside from the wood used in manufacturing automobiles, the company's requirements for packing and shipping run into enormous figures and to provide lumber for this purpose every bit of scrap is utilized through the salvage department, even to the smallest possible pieces. The little that cannot be salvaged is used for fuel. The department, formed prin cipally as a means of reducing waste, is conducted purely as a conservation agency. While it was not the intention of the company to make it profit-pro ducing, yet by putting it on an efficient basis, it has progressed to the point where it is now self sustaining. An average of 800 men are | employed, working twenty-four hours a day in three eight-hour shifts, and the work includes the operation of the lumber yard, saw mills and the handling of all new and old lumber for shipping. 1 The Progressive Farmer -tziztzzz--- The Danbury Reporter Both Papers One Year For $2.00 By special arrangement with the Progressive Farmer we are enabled for a limited time tosend that well known farm paper and the Reporter both one year for $2.00.
