ADRIAN, Mich, Dec. 81. -
James w. Helme, who recently filed
petitions at Lansing, placing the
name of Henry Ford in the demo-
cratic column of the ballot in the
presidential primary next sprinp
said he lis off the Ford candidacy
for life," in commenting Thursday
upon Mr.. Ford's statement of We'd
nesday in which the automobile
manufacturer declared he would
not oppose President Coolidge for
election.
"The object of filing Ford petit
tons at so early a date" Mr.. Helme
said, was to force a statement and
find out where we were. The spec
tire of a possible Ford candidacy
has demoralized both old parties and
their leaders and brought dissension
to third party organization. All
this is now removed and we can
settle down to the fact that there
will be no Ford in the race"
