Michigan campaign in behalf of Mr.
Government Publicity For Ford.


Government Publicity For Ford.
1t should be borne in mind that al
that time the United States was al
war and the Democratic administra-
tion, through war powers which it
viciously abused, exercised despotic
censorship over not only the news
papers but the moving picture bust
ness. 1t meant the ruination of
either a moving picture concern or
newspaper to defy the orderi of the
Committee on Public Information, or
the orders of the War and Navy de-
partments. These departments as
we'll as the Committee on Public In
formation, had extensive publicity
machinery, paid for out of the pub
lie treasury from appropriations vot-
ed by the United States Congress of
money raised by the American pub
lie by taxes and purchase of Liberty
bonds.
Mr. Ford was at this time engaged
in the manufacture of the noted Tor
notorious) Eagle boats. He was also
engaged in the manufacture of parts
for airplanes and other equipment
used by the War department. Using
these three facts as a peg upon which
to hang their publicity, the War and
Navy departments and the Committee
on Public Information literally flood
ed the state of Michigan with pub
licity of printed character and with
moving pictures describing Mr. Ford
as the right hand Of the United
States government in winning the
war.
Newberry Had To Advertise.
Unfortunately, there was no way,
and there is no way, to ascertain the
enormous amount of public funds the
Democratic administration spent on
publicity to boost Mr. Ford during
his campaign against Mr. Newberry.
But il is a safe estimate to place the
amount spent far in excess of the
total amount spent by Newberry's
managers. The machinery of the
United States government and the
publicity bureaus of three depart
ments of the government were being
used ruthlessly and illegally in the
state of Michigan to fight Mr. New
berry. The only way his managers
could meet this opposition was to
raise private funds and engage in a
tremendous campaign of advertising.
This they did and the unusual amount
of money expended by the Newberry
management was spent because of
this situation, was spent wholly for
legitimate purposes and spent large
" for advertising and publicity.

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1921-12-16

United States Senate, the Michigan
primary laws were very faulty.
Briefly, they permitted any candidate
in a primary to run on as many
tickets as he wished. In event of his
winning the nomination on two or
more tickets it was then left to his
choice as to which ticket he should
remain on as candidate for election,
withdrawing his name from the other
tickets upon which he had won nom
nations, thus leaving the tickets
from which he withdrew with no
candidate against him.
Democrats Plan To Debauch State.
Mr. Ford became a candidate for
the United States Senate in the city
of Washington, d. c., after series
of conferences with former President
Wilson and the Democratic national
and congressional organizations. Mr.
Ford himself announced at the time,
in a statement issued at Washington,
d. c., soon after he had left the
White House, that he would become
a candidate at the urgent request of
President Wilson. The story of the
incipiency Of his candidacy was
common information throughout the
country at the time, being carried in
all the news reports.
1t was also common information at
that time throughout the United
States, and especially in the state of
Michigan, that Democratic organiza-
ton officials had assured Mr. Ford, in
event he would become a candidate.
they would see to it that he had no
opposition in the primary on the
Democratic ticket. 1t was also ar
ranged that he should announce his
candidacy both on the Democratic
and Republican tickets. Thus the
plot was laid. There is no doubt but
what it was a conspiracy by the
Democratic administration to debauch
the primary nomination of Michigan
by taking advantage of a defective
primary law. The conspiracy was
that Mr. Ford, running on both tickets,
would be guaranteed no opposition in
the Democratic party, thus enabling
tens of thousands of Democrats to
vote the Republican primary ticket
and by thus raiding the Republican
primaries force Mr. Ford's nomina-
ton on the Republican ticket. Hav-
ing no opposition within the party,
he naturally would be the nominee
on the Democratic ticket if only a
hundred votes were polled for him.
As the conspiracy was planned by
the Democratic administration, Mr.
Ford, thus in possession of both the
Democratic and Republican nomina-
tions for the United States senator
ship, was to withdraw from the
Republican ticket and run in the
election as a Democrat, so that he
might be properly affiliated with the
Democratic Senate organization after
his election.

Why Conspiracy Failed.

The conspiracy failed because the
honest Democrats in the state of
Michigan would not stand for any
such frame up" and entered a candi-
date against Mr. Ford on the Demo
cratic ticket, over the protests OF the
Democratic organization and the
representatives of the Democratic ma
tional administration The opposition
to Mr. Ford within his own party
compelled the Democrats to stay
within their party and. being unable
to raid the Republican ticket, Mr.
Ford did not secure the nomination
on the Republican ticket. So much
for the iniquity which surrounded the
conception Of Mr. Ford's candidacy.
Mr. Ford was induced to enter the
fight bv the Democratic administra-
ton. After he entered the fight and
81 became apparent that the plot
that they had framed. whereby he was
to raid the Republican primaries,
was to be foiled. all q the publicity
machinery was thrown into the
