LANSING. Mich. December 19.-
Nominating petitions entering Calvin
Coolidge and Henry Ford as candi-
dates in the presidential primary
next April were accepted by the de-
partment Of state today.
The petitions naming President
Coolidge on the republican tick ket
were filed by Horatio s. Earle.
James w Helme of Adrian offered
the Ford petitions naming him on
the democratic ticket. Both had suf-
ficient signatures and the secretary
of state will inform the candidates
that the petitions are approved.
Says People for Coolidge.
Il believe it IS the wise and nat
ural thing for the people 70 agree
Mr. Coolidge" Mr. Ford said. 'T am
satisfied that go per cent OF the peo-
pie feel perfectly safe with Coolidge
and I feel, too, that the country is
perfectly safe with him. And if this
is the feeling of the country, why
change?
Mr.. Coolidge has shown in these
months of service a great many quail
tiles that should please his country
men. I think they all feel that Mr..
Coolidge means to do right. And
when a man means to do right. so far
as | have observed, it is usually quite
easy for him to find the way to do
right.

Some people seem disturbed over
the conditions which business will
face during the presidential election
year. OF course, there must be an
election. But there is no reason why
business should be disturbed by it, If
the people by common consent agree
they will hold to a good man while
they have him. Public sentiment can
be so formed long before the election
that there need be no doubt about the
election.
In addition to considering the in
tereSts of the people, we should con-
slider the interests of the President, as
head of the American government.
President Coolidge has a position of
the highest esponsibility. He should
not feel compelled to take any of his
time or strength for any sort Of
political campaigning, and for the
sake of the country as well as for
his own sake, he should not have to
do So
