WALLACE DEFENDS
ROAD FUND POLICY
TOWARD ARKANSAS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Secre-
tary Wallace, Of the agricultural de-
partment, answered critics of his adj
ministration of the federal-aid high
way funds in Arkansas in state
ment today declaring that neither
the federal aid road act nor its adj
ministrat.on is responsible for the
troubles for the Arkansas people
in their road building"
President Coolidge, the senator
said, sis determined that every
power of the federal government
should be used to correct abuses
and injustices under which Arkan-
sas farmers have suffered in connec-
ton with highway taxes.
"All roads on which federal aid
maintained by. the state,"' he con-
: tinued. "Old road projects must be
cleaned up before federal aid will
be granted to new projects"
The secretary said his department
had no intention of making any fur

certain requirements, and it remains
for the state to meet these"

FORD PLEASES EVERYBODY
FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE,
IS VIEW AT WASHINGTON

Tt is true of course, that President
for the United States senate on Il
Democratic ticket, but Mr. Ford, as
they counted the returns, was not
elected and, therefore, never had to
qualify as a Democrat III public life.
The Democrats are saying that Hen
ry is just another rcactionaIy,"
another "plutocrat of great wealth"
who finally and securely has aligned
himself with that gilded hcme of all
plutocrats the grand ol1 party"
Following Doubtful
The Democratic leaders say that
President Coolidge is welcome to the
support of Henry Ford because Hen
ry has no political strength to de-
liver. They admit that Henry would
have had considerable strength as a
candidate but he has no following
which could be delivered to the
stand patters" of the Republican
party. Already the Democratic man
ayers say they have received word
that Ford leaders in many states
have announced that, deserted by
their peerless leader, they will go
into the Democratic party rather
than follow Henry hook, line and
sinker into the elephants den.
The Hiram Johnson followers, not
to be the least bit outdone by the
regular Republicans and regular
Democrats, say that the elimination
of Henry Ford makes Hiram all the
stronger. Much Of the Ford senti-
ment, they asseverate, will turn au-
tomatically to Hiram, the people S
choice. So long as Mr.. Ford profess
ed to be man of the people, Sena-
tor Johnson would have had to deal
with him. But now that one of the
peoples friends has deserted them,
the Johnsonites say that Hiram is
bound to, be the beneficiary of the
Independent thought which was look
ing to Henry Ford as a sort of Moses
to lead it out Of the wilderness.
Coolidge undoubtedly will get
some of the Ford boomers, but we
will get the lions share" said one of
the johnson lieutenants today.
G. o. p. Still Wary
And thus in the Ford withdrawal
there seems to be. glory enough for
all. Mr.. Ford once sought to get the
boys out of the trenches by Christ
mas, but it is doubtful if he could
have spread more joy in the success
full fulfillment of that mission than
he has by his Christmas present to
Mr.. Coolidge, which appears to have
been an overlooking cup of political
happiness.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding
some of the regular Republicans are
little shy about committing them
selves publicly and completely to Mr..
Ford at this time. They are just a
little afraid that he may not stay
out. Suppose, they say that things
shouldn't go so we'll with the Muscle
Shoals project as Mr.. Ford evidently
expects? Will he then turn upon
the Republican administration and
attempt to rend it? In any event
the conservative thought prevailed
at a meeting of the Republican coun.
ty committee in New York City.
Thursday night, when it was pro-
posed that a telegram of congratula.
ton and welcome be sent to the au-
tomobile millionaire. The message
was voted down.

Politicians Breathe Sigh Of
Relief Some G, 0, P,
Leaders Refuse to En-
brace Latest Recruit to
Ranks
BY ROBERT \. SMALL
Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)

Copyright, 1873
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Mr..
Henry Ford, for once in his life
appears to have done something that
pleases everybody. All the poll
ticians in Washington, no matter
what their faith or creed, are APP
plauding the automobile manufac-
turer for eliminating himself from
the presidential race and definitely
taking his stand under the Coolidge
banner. There is a great feeling of
relief here in the capital. The po-
litical boys are wearing a look that
plainly says thank the Lord, that's
all threshed out"
This expression becomes all the
more significant from the realiza-
ton that Mr.. Ford has not only
eliminated himself from considera-
ton in 1924 but for all time. Ger
tainly the Democrats will never
flirt with him again and the Repub-
licans, when 1928 comes around will
have other fish to fry. Mr.. Ford
has written himself down as a
standard bearer of the G.. o. P. and
in doing that he has proved himself
3, very magnanimous young man.
For the Republican leaders have
been saying some nasty things about
Mr.. Ford. Even a distinguished
member of the Coolidge cabinet to-
day has slung a few carefully Sc
lected shafts at the Detroit man
of millions and one exceedingly
prominent member of the Republic
an national committee has gravely
announced that he regarded Henry
Ford as a menace"
Critics Now Admirers
Of course all these blasts were let
go when it seemed that Henry was
going to run for president on any
ticket he could get on and would
unquestionably upset many a Re
publican calculation. But now that
Henry has come out for Cal, why
things are of an entirely different
complexion. Republicans interview
ed today said they thought Mr.. Ford
one Of the brainiest, one of the
safest and one of the sanest men
this country has ever known.
They say it was absurd for any
one ever to regard Henry Ford as
a menace. They say he is a man
Of statesmanlike stature. He has a
keen insight into public affairs, and
what if he does regard history as
bunk we are dealing with the
present today and Mr.. Ford evil
IDENTIFY knows what is best for the
country.
So from all this it may be sur
missed that the regular Republicans
who are flocking to the Coolidge
band wagon in a stampede that
causes cold shivers to run up and
down the backs of all the Hiram
Johnson supporters save Hiram him
self
The Democrats profess to be
equally pleased. They say they are
glad they have smoked Henry out,
just as they were glad when they

JOHNSON ASSA|LS
FORD FOR JOINING
COOLIDGE FORCES
California Senator Intin1ates
That Auto Magnate Trad
ed Influence for Muscle
Shoals Support

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Henry
Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals,
Ala, power project and his recent
Endorsement of President Coolidge,
were discussed by Senator Johnson,
of California, candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination, in
a statement last night.
Declaring that Mr.. Ford was a
marvellous business man." Sena-
tor Johnson recalled that shortly be-
fore indorsing Mr.. Coolidge, the De
troit manufacturer had criticised
Secretary Weeks for opposing his
offer for Muscle Shoals.
American politics present a most
interesting psychological study"
said the statement.
Henry Ford has declared for
Mr.. Coolidge because, as he says,
Mr.. Coolidge is safe Immediately
the part of the press of the coun-
TRY representing special privilege,
which was always denounced and
caricatured Mr.. Ford, gives him a
certificate of character and, with
open arms, welcomes him to its
ranks. Perhaps the time is propi-
tious for Emma Goldman and Bill
Haywood to return, declare for Mr..
Coolidge and be acclaimed by the
same special privileged press.
But in the light of Mr.. Ford S
previous utterances, just when did
Mr.. Coolidge, in Mr.. Ford's opinion,
became 'safe?' On the 18th day of
October, after Mr. Coolidge had
been in office for more than two
months and when Secretary Weeks
had sold what Ford claimed to be
part of the Muscle Shoals project,
Mr.. Ford denounced in unmeasured
terms the secretary of war and in
ferentially, the administration, as
being under the control of private
interests, inimical to the farmers,
and the secretary of war made an
angry rejoinder.
"ObYiously, according to Mr..
Ford, the administration of Mr..
Coolidge was then unsafe and didn't
even wish to do right. Thereafter,
Congressman Madden gave to the
press the outline of a measure he
would present in congress, apparent
ly for the administra ton, designed to
give Mr.. Ford Muscle Shoals ard a
plant OF like character to that sold by
Weeks. The message of the presi-
dent on the sixth day of December
was not inimical to this idea. Mr.
Madden's bill was then introduced
and is now pending. On the 10Th
day of December Mr.. Ford gives
out his safe interview.
eff Mr.. Coolidge were not safe,
and if his administration I'M
der the influence of private in
terests on the 18th day of October
as Mr.. Ford plainly said to the
American people, what occurred be-
tween the 18th day of October
and the 10Th day of December, to
transmute the bitter denunciation
of Mr.. Ford against the admins
tration then, into enthusiastic adj
vocacy now?
"Mr Ford is entitled, of course.
to, his political opinions, equally, of
course, these opinions cannot con-
troll a Republican nomination. Mr..
Ford was for Mr.. Wilson when Mr.
Wilson was president. Mr.. Ford
was for Mr.. Harding when Mr..
Harding was president. Mr.. Ford
is for Mr.. Coolidge while Mr..
Coolidge is president. Mr. Ford is a
marvellous business man.

his wife was a year older.
Investigation showed that all the

the murderer shot her while in the
pantry and then hid the body. There
were numerous blood stains in the
pantry.
