ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY E. HOUSE.
(From Fhiladelphia Public Ledser.l

An editorial coadjutor wonders
whether Henry Ford would take the
nomination of the third party. As
one who has studied Mr.. Ford in a
doubt of it. Henry "kidded" himself
into the belief that he is a great man.
Besides that feat in self-appreciation.
Kidding" himself into the belief that
he could be elected president would
be one of the minor jocosities.
And, while we do not go so far as
to predict his nomination, Mr.. Ford s
appeal to many of the elements of the
third party movement is a powerful
one. He has the money, and taking II
away from him seems to be child's
play.

We gave the matter assiduous care and
attention. But we never succeeded in
getting them all to the polls in any
election. We have been fairly sue
cessful in inducing Adelaide to vote
and in getting her to the polls. But
there never was an election in which
we could not have delivered three
male voters at the polling place while
