ROOSEVELT on
FORD'S CANDIDACY

Washington. Col. Theodore Roose
velt's opinion fthe relative merits o.
Truman II. Newberry and Henry Ford
as senatorial candidates is shown In
la lette Roosevelt wrote Newberry
October 10, 1919. 1t reads in part as
follows:
MY Dear Commander: | congrat-
ulate you on your nomination, but far
more do ! congratulate Michigan and
all cur people. 1t was my good for
tune TO have you serve under me as
Secretary of the Navy. and can testi-
fly personally to your efficiency and
your DISTINGUISHED and single-minded
zeal for the public service. To a very
peculiar degree you have stood for
| that kind of government which puts
! the interest fth epeople as whole
first and foremost, and treats all other
considerations az negligible when the
public veal is involved. The record
made by you and your two sons in
this war is typical Of your whole atti-
| tude as a public servant. Both your
boys at once entered the Navy, and are
now on .he high seas. You sought ELL
ployment abroad; when that was re-
fused you. you accepted any position
that wasoffered in which you could
render public service.
THE nomination of Mr.. Ford makes
the issue sharp and clean. 1t is not
primarily an ssue between the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic party,
for Mr. Ford does not seem to have
any firm political convictions, and was
content to take the nomination on any
ticket without regard to what the gen.
eral principles of the men supporting
that ticket were; and his memory
about past politics is so hazy that al
though he has mentioned Republican
candidate for president for whom he
thinks he once voted, it does not APP
pear that this is possible, unless he Is
in error as to his own age.
"Te issue is infinitely more impor-
tant than any merely political issue.
1t is the issue of straight American
ism, of straight patriotism, and of pre-
paredness for the tasks Of peace and
war, as against particularly foolish
and obnoxious type Of pacifism
preached In peace and practiced in
war. This is the first time in the his
tory of our country in which a candi-
late for high Office has been nominal

money demoralizing the people of the
