is an ideal preparation.
These gentlemen are all identi-

tour for American students, the
first time that has been attempted.
The plan is entirely practicable.
Mr.. Akston has secured the CO.
operation of the steamship com
panies, which offer special low
rates, and of course once in
Poland the American dollar"
will take them far, especially
as the railway companies will
also assist the plan.
The university cities will be
the objective, and here also new

Ford Breaks Silence

support Of President Coolidge came
simultaneously with the filing In
Lansing Of petitions to place Mr..
Ford's name on the Michigan presi-
Dental primary election ballots next
spring. 1t is too late for Henry Ford
to withdraw from the Michigan
presidential election Of next spring,
despite his statement today that he
would not run against President
Coolidge, James w. Helme, who fled
Ford petitions at Lansing today de-
clared. Mr.. Helme was Mr.. Ford's
unsuccessful opponent on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the 1918 Michigan
senatorial primaries.
Petitions to place Mr.. Ford's name
on the Democratic ticket next spring
were filed at the same time that
Horatio s. Earle, prominent Repub-
lican, filed Coolidge petitions. The
secretary of state indicated both
petitions would be approved.
''The law makes no provision for
the withdrawal of a mans name
after petitions for him have been
fled" Mr.. Helme said. The extent of
his comment on Mr.. Ford's state
ment that he would not oppose Presi-
dent Coolidge was that at Is Mr..
Ford's own business IL he don't want
to rum" The Ford statement was re-
cetved with undisguised joy in Re-
publican circles and with a certain
measure of relief by the Democrats,
who have long been uncertain con-
corning Mr.. Ford's affiliations.

COL. PRESCOTT
CONTINUED from Page One)

of which William Mckinley was
chairman. He had been chairman
of the city committee, treasurer of
York county. judge of the Biddeford
municipal court and had held other
positions of honor and trust with
credit to himself and his city. He
had the title of colonel by reason of
having served on the staff of Gov
ernor Cleaves as an aide.
Col. Prescott was a Mason, a
member of the York County club and
for six years its treasurer. He was
married Jan. II, 1882, to Ellen S.
Hobbs of North Berwick.
In 1906, and at other times pre-
vious Col. Prescott WIS a most prom
inent candidate for Governor. He
was one Of the number who divided
the republican party delegates for the
running against Cobb and Fernald.
There were five candidates in that
year. when Gov. Cobb won the NOM
ination at Bangor. Col. Prescott was
a likely compromise candidate and
would have won, had there been a
hopeless division between Cobb and
Fernald 18th a majority for neither.
He had the good will of both candi-
dates and would have made a most
excellent Governor: for he ha. served
in all branches of the legislature and
had been a member of the Governor
Hills council in 1902.
After the Cobb campaign and Gov
Cobb's service of four years sue
ceeded by Fernald for two years and
the republican party reverses that
followed, Col. Prescott retired from
active politics. He had fine COM
potency gained from business out
side the newspaper business for he
was concerned in various manufac-
turing enterprises. in banking. etc.
His home was in Saco, he lived we'll
and happily with all the world.
Personally. Col. Prescott was a
most loveable man. He had a charm
ing presence: handsome in his fine
physique and always carrying a
bright and alert welcome and a
friendliness that was dignified and
at the same time winsome. He had
much ability; a wonderful fund of
common sense; shrewd judgement.
and the power to make and retain
friends.
He served a long term as presi-
dent of the Maine Daily Newspaper
Association and was one of its most
substantial members. He entertain
ed 1t frequently along the York ana
kenneburkport shores. He was one
of the earliest automobilists and
member and officer of the Maine A.

Republicans Pleased
Democrats Relieved

washington, Dec. 19.-Political
camps here we're visibly stirred today
by the declaration Of Henry Ford in
support of President Coolidge for 1924.
1t brought unconcealed elation to ad-
ministration leaders interested in Mr..
Coolidge's cause, and Democratic lead
ers said there was satisfaction at
least in the fact that Mr.. Ford was out
in the open and apparently self-elim-
mated as presidential possibility next
year.
President Coolidge plans to express
his personal appreciation of Mr.. Ford's
action by sending the Detroit manu-
facturer a telegram, which will not be
made public here.
Comment on Mr. Fords statement,
however, is withheld by all avowed
presidential candidates here. Senator
Hiram johnson of California, opponent
of President Coolidge for the Republi-
can nomination, and Senator Under
wood of Alabama, a Democratic candi-
date, would not talk about the develop
ment, although they manifestly viewed
it as of major political importance.
Representative Cordell Hull of Ten
ressee, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, also declined to make
a formal statement, but in reply to
question said that Mr.. Ford lis a free
American citizen and is entitled to his
personal preference the same as any
one else"
Nothing that he can say in behalf
of President Coolidge. however" added
Mr.. Hull, will make Mr.. Coolidge less
reactionary nor change in any respect
the record of the ruling faction in the
Republican party as the political in
strument of the special privilege class"
OF prime Importance, in the view of
political leaders generally, will be the
passing of the Ford-for-president
movement which has been fostered in
recent conferences of Ford workers in
Michigan and other states. Mr.. Ford's
action is looked upon by all the leaders
as removing the possibility of a new
party movement with him at the helm
"a possibility that for months has
made him one of the great enigmas of
national politics.
That there would be some political
advantage to Senator Lafollette in
case he should become a presidential
candidate was the belief expressed by
followers of the Wisconsin senator. In
the effect upon the action of the Farm
Labor party. particularly in the Dako-
tas, Minnesota and Wisconsin, MIR.
Ford's retirement as potentian candi-
date, it was thought, might operate to
