COMING SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN

COMING SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
Reports from Detroit say that Henry
Ford has announced that he will stay
in the senatorial race and will dc
everything possible within the limit
OF the law TO win the election. This
probably means that there will be q
thorough canvass made OF the state
in the interest OF Mr.. Ford
The Diamond Drill is unreseryedly
for Mr.. Newberry, the nominee OF the
republican party We favored Mr.
Osborn for the nomination. but now
that our candidate has lost out and
there is no objection TO Mr. Newberry
on the ground of qualifications we are
as we think all good losers ought to
be, with the man whom we would have
expected To be with US had the tables
been turned. Mr.. Newberry Is far
better qualified man for the place tina"
is Mr.. Ford who has had no expert
ence in governmental lines. and whose
ideas on national problems are, to our
mind, considerably blurred by pacific
tendencies.
We are for Mr. Newberry because
we resent the interference OF the pres
Sdent in local affairs and likewise the
dipping OF dmocratic politicians in
Detroit into republican politics. This
is no time for political manipulations.
We want the best men we can get for
legislative positions.
We received, some time ago, printed
circulars issued by ed Pipp OF Detroit
explaining the Ford side OF the Edsel
Ford case. From that fact we infe'
that the publicity end OF the Ford
campaign will be managed by Mr. Pipp
who has few equals and no superior
in Michigan in publicity matters. With
ample funds TO place his matter before
the people, II is quite probable that
some things, especially the case OF
Edsel Ford. will be put in a light
where Il will look different TO the vot-
ers than II does at the present time.
For that reason We opine II will be
necessary for the republican managers
10 do more educating and less slurring
of Mr.. Ford in the coming campaign.
AS n fellowtownsman said TO us re
cently-and the man is not a Ford
supporter, either-the government is
10 blame in the Edsel Ford case more
than Mr.. Ford is. lie called atten
tion to some young men in our own
locality who have been exempted
through the intercession OF mining and
other Industrial concerns perfectly
legitimate actions and said. Go and
call the father OF one Of those young
men Stacker and see what he will do
to you" There's something in that
statement
Put the emphasis upon the uniform
the ability OF Mr.. Newberry, the pro-
pacific tendenciesof Mr.. Ford and the
effect OF such a man In the senate
when the time To discuss peace comes
and we believe that the voters OF
Michigan will see that Mr.. Ford Is In
the right place where he now is.
