Mr. Ford as the millonaire champion of the poor people of the country would make ana inspiring spectacle, but Mr. Ford loses his prominence when he joins with the rest of big business men in sup port of a reactionary candidate "He will not carry with him any of the plutocrats, because they are already supporting Mr. Coolidge, the President’s opposition to the excess profits tax made sure of their support, but Mr. Ford’s de sertion of the masses will create on ir ritation that will become more pronoun ced us the campaign approaches. The men who have difficulty in keeping their household expenditures within their in comes—the men who as a rule buy Ford car*—will resent the abandonment.. oj their cause by one of tbs richest men ip the country whom theoremrded—«le takenly, it no* seems —arf tt\etr friend. lug President Coolidge will companion word sane, which usually ac companies the word safe when used to describe public men and political i>oli cies. Those who talk of a safe and sane candidate reflect upon the intelli gent as well as upon ttyegood purposes of the masses. President Coolidge will find Mr. Ford the most expensive boost er who has yet climbed into his band wagon. His action emphasises the .deep ening division between those with big incomes and those with small incomes."
