This boosting given Ford is not des-
tined to drive Ford out of the RAGS,
they contend. In fact, a situation Is
being developed where McAdOo and
Ford may be only two parts of
death struggle. Then they begin to
talk of Ralston.
Is Compromise Candidate
Around Ralston is staged nothing
but negative backdrops-this is some
more political strategy. It seems to
be accepted that Ralston can only win
by being a compromise candidate,
that he must do nothing to attract at
tention to himself or his views, that
he must be chosen for the job and the
crown fastened to his brow.
That Is the place Ralston had from
the beginning and that is the place he
now occupies.
and. Of course, there is Ralston,
is a suggestion in every discussion Of
presidential races.
Yes, he's sitting pretty as a com
promise candidate" IS the lnvariable
answer.

Within the last few weeks, the air
has been filed with Henry Ford and
William Gibbs McAdoo. McAdoo was
in town for a few days and was not
working hard at hiding his light
under n bushel That he is a can
didate. at least in a receptive mood,
is certain.
McAdoo Plays Strategy
The story brought here by the poll.
t!cians is that McAdoo's friends. are
advertising Henry Ford. 1t IS con
tended McAdoo is doing a fine bit Of
work and that his friends are dis
playing political acumen and strategy.
If the McAdoo boosters are sue
cessful. the next convention will see
Ford killing Oft all the other favor
tie or native son candidates and the
battle staged between McAdoo and
Ford. OF course. McAdoo's managers
expect a democratic convention to
take McAdoo If the only alternative
is Ford.
That leaves Ralston entirely out
of consideration. But Ralston's friends
will not admit that situation prevails
