than your boy or our boy
He doespt compare with them.
He's a Stacker. lodging his duty to
his country.
Your boy Is in service taking his
chances with the bullets and gas OF
the enemy. trained TO the minute,
tough as nails and anxious to get at
'em! He's real boy. and the hope OF
America and freedom. He's doing
something of which you are proud.
You wouldn't have him trade places
with this young Ford, because it's
cinch young Ford is occupying some
Job far from where the shells are NY
ing and far from where the fine bull
let's are whining. far from the trench
es where the real heroes are strug-
Cling that this land may be one OF
independence and republicanism.
And now this father OF young Ford,
having fixed 1t so his offspring can
stay at home, In a towards place,
wants 10 represent this country In
the senate OF the United States.
DO you want a man OF that kind
there looking after your affairs?
Don't you think IL would be an in
suit to the lighting men OF this coun-
try to elect such a man to such po-
sition?
OF course Ford's factory is making
a lot OF war material, Just as Is every
other automobile factory In the coun-
try. and Henry Ford and his company
il getting we'll paid for every last
thing he is shaping. II he hadn't Of
fered the factory for war work the
government would have taken IT..
And Henry Ford has already made
more millions than he can ever spend
and the bulk OF 1t will go to this fel-
low Edsel, the boy with the cold feet,
with dad that gets him out OF the
fight while your boy, or ours, goes tt
the front 10 ubub AoA yOh 49,
Ford, and for his son Edsel
II may be that you will want to
support such people for positions
ranking the highest we have to give,
but we don't believe you stand for
any such representation. If you do
then you are to be pitied.
Henry Ford isn't equipped in any
way TO represent Michigan in cong
ress. He's nowhere on any subject
excepting that of keeping his son out
of danger in this time of need. He's
clear as to what he wants on that.
He isn't fitted by legislative expert
ence or by education. to occupy the
position OF United States Senator. He
has no information on the history OF
his own country to say nothing OF
that OF others. He, through the help
OF good associates, did succeed final
ly, after many failures, in making an
engine that sold for low
price, but the fact doesn't make him
senatorial timber, nor is 1t any excuse
why his son should be put into ?
towards place.
A man who will personally seek &c
get out OF his honest duty as has
Ford has no place in the body OF rep
resentatives OF this country.
President Wilson wants Ford to be
A candidate for the United States
senate because he knows he could use
him II elected
Couldn't he?
Hasn't he protected Henry Ford's
son?
Isn't that an obligation Ford would
pay at any price to secure?
And he has secured it?
Henry Ford Is tied right to Presi-
dent Wilson, and can be pulled about
Just as the president would desire.
The good people OF Michigan will
never stand for any such insult TO
their brave sons who are fighting
their country's battles like real men
There's no place for these white
Iivered towards in our house of rep
It's up to the people of
his state 10 resent the insult offered
hem by President Wilson in naming
Henry Ford as his choice for United
States senator from Michigan.--Iron
