NOBODY'S political fortunes
IN can be advanced by i'm
putting a secret deal be-
tween Ford and Coolidge. Both
men are beyond the reach of such
Scandal-both clean hitters and
square shooters.
Ford is warped with preju-
dice, but bitter familiars-and
ne has lots Of them-must ad-
NIT that he wouldn't crook a
finger for personal gain.
And it's simply unthinkable
70 question the Presidents integ-
rity.
If Henry Ford considers Cal
vim Coolidge the best available
man for President, bet your last
bottom dollar, his convictions are
sincere and unsubsidized.
If Calvin Coolidge believes
Henry Ford should possess
Muscle Shoals no element of
seIf-interest enters into his con-
clusion.
Also, reserve judgment until
Governor General Wood is heard
from.
Proposed Congressional inves-
tlgation of Philippine affairs
shall probably show him riding
very high horse over local gov
eminent. Wood is inclined to be
an arbitrary martinez and a
Bourbon, too, with many rich
reactionaries among his init
mates.
But, whispered charges of
concessions, to requite services
and contributions to his cam
paign in 1920, are below cred
ence.
Clean the libelous stuff out of
your ears and forget it!

ties in which skillful teachers of
