The idea is to carry President Hard
ing's front porch campaign to the linn
it, to at no time suggest or imply Ford
wants the job but always to picture
him as willing to be drafted in the
cause
Already the campaign is under way
Ford is being interviewed now week
after week and month after month and
the interviews are getting into maya
zines with good regulations for con
servatisn." Search as you will there
is nothing to be found in the inter
views which will give Fords enemies
an opportunity to arouse the public
against him For instance, and this is
typical
Would Tidy Things Up
Ford was being interviewed recent
ly and one of the questions was as to
what he would do with the government
at Washington if he were President.
I'D tidy things up" Henri yrephed.
The question and answer and the
thought ended right there.
Remember Ford's statement Of some
months ago about the commodity
dollar2"
The idea was he would have our
monetary system get away from the
gold basis and be established rather
on its purchasing power.
EmbelIshed with little more high.
brow stuff. we have a campaign on
now for a commodity dollar. There
was bill before the last Congress
to stabilize the dollar" and It brought
II its support most Of the prominent
and liberal economists of the coun-
try.
But the idea was a little too def
mite and until the November elections
are over in 1924 Ford is going to for
get about the commodity dollar"
Bryan Might Testify
And in that. his friends insist he
is wise because the opposition is al
ways looking for something like that
on which TO build an unfair or fair
prejudice. William Jennings Bryan
might give some testimony IN that
respect.
The moment Ford becomes a real
factor in the campaign 1t IS certain
we are going to live through much
Of that history Of the 1895 battle.
A Republican Senator has his mind
entirely on Ford He was and IS an
ultra-conservative- Republican who
hopes President Harding Will be re-
elected. but who now thinks there is
little chance.
IF 1 knew Henry Ford was going
to be elected Ia sell everything I've
got short and then sell the currency
short to get gold"
But the Industrial history Of the
Ford plant tells another story.
Assistants Conservative
Henry may be quoted as dreaming
a lot Of things vague and incompre-
henslble. but ne always has managed
TO get the most conservative as
sistants, his friends point out.
II Ford takes charge Of the Gov
eminent. his friends insist, his first
move would be TO fill the Cabinet with
men Of the type in his organization.
Undoubtedly Couzens would be there
il he would consent tn serve. The
Interior Department would have an
engineer at It's head. Hoover could
remain as Secretary of Commerce A.
Baruch. or some other man who had
made a study of farm marketing
would be Secretary Of Agriculture. So
on. Tho idea would be to get the
machinelike efficiency Of the Ford
Industrial organization.

ordered him to throw up his hands,
she testified, telling him she meant

8 PROBES STARTED
INTO FIRE TRAGEDY
At GOTHAM ASYLUM

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-(By the
Associated Press)-Eight inquiries
were under way today into the
tragedy on Wards island, a little
jutting rock in the swirling waters
of He'll Gate where yesterday fire
swept a ward of the Manhattan
State Hospital for the Insane, kill
ing % patients and three male at
tendants.
Nineteen bodies had been 'recov-
cred before dusk and removed to the
city morgue, but six more remained
in the recovered ruins. These, it
was feared, had been cremated, and
Superintendent Marcus B. Hyman,
expressed doubt whether more than
charred bones ever would be recov-
cred.
The blaze was believed to have
been started by a terrific blast in
Hell Gate, which broke the insula-
ton on electric wiring, causing a
short-circuit.
A curious hush pervaved the island
during the night. The bedlam of
cries and rawlings which ordinarily
might have been expected was en-
tirely lacking. The whole popula-
ton of the states asylum presented
a phlegmatic calm after the day of
sorrow, a day on which the insane
acted most sanely.
The one unit of the IS on the is
land that was attacked by flames
housed the most violently insane
men of homicidal tendency, who
might at any moment have leaped
at the Threats of their rescuers.
But leap they did not. A few
struggled as guards tried to push
their way to safety through the
smoke and flames, but not a single
attack upon an attendant was re
ported.

Large Potash Orders
From America Placed
With German Houses

BERLIN, Feb. 17.-(By the Assoc
GATED Press Large orders for
potassium salt, mainly from the
United States, are reported to have
been placed recently with the potash
syndicate.
American consumption Of these
salts is said to have increased con-
siderably, due to the popularity
among the agriculturists of mixed
fertilizers with a higher percentage
of potash. American farmers who
are cultivating soils which have be-
come exhausted by years of inten-
sive cultivation of foodstuffs are I'M
derstood to be striving to increase
their yields by the use of a mixture
of fertilizers containing hydro phos-
pilates. nitrogen and potash.

PLANS TO CONQUER
BOIL WEEV|L TOLD
BY DR.. HUTCHINSON
Noted Scientist Arrives for
Meeting Here-Say Every
Known Method Will Be
Tried in Cotton Belt

Every known method of boil weevil
X-rays, airplane sprays, calcium
arsenate, the Florida method and
the molasses cure will be utilized in
the campaign to be launched under
the auspices of the national confer
ence on boil weevil control which
opens here Tuesday, according to
DR.. Miller Reese Hutchinson, fore
most American scientist and manag-
ing director of the campaign, who
arrived here Saturday,
''Sixty-eight hundred men, scat
tered throughout the $40 counties in
the cotton belt, will give these meth
DDS a trial" he said. Eighty thou
sand scientists, the best minds in
the nation, will be modified in the
fight. In each boil weevil county, a
group of eight men, representing
the financial and farming interests,
will carry on the experiments, while
the government and our scientists
will conduct the laboratory tests.
'"The one big problem is to find
something which will kill the weevil
and yet not harm other animal life.
We will try one method here and
then try it again in another section.
We want the killer that will do the
work just as effectively in North
Carolina as in Texas.
I'VE are in an experimental era
and we are seeking the best and
most efficient method of combating
the million dollar bandit To ac-
cohnplish our purpose, we must ex-
pertinent on an extensive scale. To
do so, we need money and the ST.

HAND IN GEORGIA
CATTLE TICK WAR
Secretary Wallace Asks
Daugherty to Act in Killing
of Agent-Says Dipping
viii Be Continued

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Firm
and prompt federal action against
the persons who killed Max Loeb
ridge, an employee of the United
States depar tment Of agriculture en-
gagged in cattle tick eradication
work in Echols county, Georgia, and
who was shot to death February 3
while in the performance of his
duty, has been asked by Secretary
Wallace, of the department of agri-
culture in a letter to Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty.
II have not yet been informed"
says Secretary Wallace, whether
any steps have been taken by local
authorities to apprehend and punish
the guilty. If the departments en-
deavors to eradicate diseases of cat
tie in the United States are to pro-
coed effectively, it is absolutely es-
sential that it's officials and en-
ployes be secured against violence
in the performance of their work. "
The killing Of Lochridge and the
serious wounding at the same time
Of another federal employe,. Roy 5.
Richie, were the elimination of a
series of difficulties in Georgia,
where efforts are being made to free
the section from cattle ticks. The
killing occurred at time when
Lochridge and Richie were serving
an official notice. On several other
occasions shots had been fired and
many dipping watts had been dyna-
mited by persons who for various
reasons disapproved the work.
Secretary Wallace has ordered the
dipping of cattle to go on despite
sporadic resistance and has notified
inspectors of the Importance of con-
slant vigilance in regions where law
lessness is encountered. In sections
where serious trouble has been eX-
perienced in getting the cattle dip
ped because of resistance, the gov
eminent has employed ex-soldiers
and provided them with means of
defense. These men live in camps
and usually travel in threes on
horseback, two in front and the third
some distance in the rear. When
the killing occurred in Georgia the
two men had gone along in an auto
mobile.
The work of tick eradication, the
department explains, is undertaken
comparatively by federal and state
authorities under state law. The
states construct the dipping watts,
purchase dipping material, and con-
duct the work under federal super
vision.
What action the department of
Justice will take has not been an
