FORD HAS BIG LEAD In THREE
WEEK TOTALS
Returns from TwentysNine States
+. In Holly Chieftsin Nationwide
Balloting Furnish Interesting
Figuers for Study


A noticeable steadying of Hard
ing vote was the outstanding feat
ure OF the third week returns in the
Chieftsin nationwide Presidential
Voting Test.
Coming as it did with the Presi-
dents start on his Alaskan trip and
his speeches en- route to the Pacific
Coast, it indicates that the majo-
rity piled up by Ford in the first
weeks of voting does not mean so
much when his chief opponent
swings into action 1t also indicates
that the President hit home on
some. of his recommendations and
policies when he himself could ex-
plain them to the voters.
Ford maintained a, steady pace
in all sections of the country, bat
in few places, except in the Dcmo-
cratic South, his lead II any. was by
bare majorities. which would 'ave
the choice in doubt until the last
vote discounted.
The remarkable vote piled up for
former President Wilson is OF
course complimentary vote mas
much as he will not be an active
candidate for office.
The vote for McAdOo indicates
strong sentiment which Democratic
leaders will undoubtedly give
serious consideration.
True. AL Smith OF New York is
in third place and running close to
Harding In his third week tahula-
tion, but it must be considered that
his OWL state, New York has given
him moe than .wo-thirds of his
total vote to date. In the country
at large McAdoc is running far
ahead of Smith-and 1t would Seem
that he stood in a fair way to carry
the Democratic banner If Ford is
not the selection.
The seventh week of voting in
Golfers Weekly faee-to-face straw
vote, as published this week. July
Al, shows Ford 1924 to Harding
1856 Then comes McAdoo, 1892;
Cox, 14.447; Smith, 1854; Hughes
IL, 43S; Hoover, 1898; Leonard
Wood, 1852; Borah, 3,4s7; Under
wood, 3,232; and John w. Davis
1898.
The final vote in Golfers ballot
ing will be announced next week.
Its vote is from all states except
Nevada and is indicative Of city and
larger town choices, while the
Chieftain vote is representative of
the smaller town and rural Ameri-
cas- choice for president.
Studying the Chieftain nation
wide vote with the Golfers straw
vote shows Ford the majority
choice of the voters in both city
and country at this time. 1t must
be admitted, however that election
is more than full year away, and
rs to whether the voters will feel
the same way and can force their
choice through a major party con
vention, Is of course another story.

DIRECTORS or LARGEST COR
PoRATfoN POORLY QUALIFIED

The United States is the largest
corporation In the world.
It's board of directors consists Of
Congress and the President.
These directors are elected by
the voters a. stockholders at the
ballot bcx
Directors of private corporations
are also selected by the stock,
holders
Directors of private corporations
are selected with care and because
OF their business ability.
Directors of the Unite States are
selected with little regard for ex-
perience or ability.
That is the difference between
private and public management
That is why private management
is an economic success and public
management an economic failure.
That is why the United States is
the most poorly and extravagantly
managed corporation in the world
Many of its directors are incompe
tent to manageIa corner grocery
yet are entrusted with the mana
cement of corporation which
directly concerns the welfare of
1O0O00Co0 people.
I. Indeed with all our resources one
xsJssiot look in on Congress without
wondering that the United States
is not in the hands of the receiver
There are among its members
men of mediocre ability, men of no
business experience, men with no
concept of fundamental require
ments relating to finance, crerit
production and merchandising of
products, and with no proper un-
derstanding OF interdependent re,
lsticns between commerce and tran
sportation.
There are among them two men
of dlsorSered mentality purposely
set on breaking down the safe.
guards of individual rights and
heritage, communizing industry and
substituting for the wellordered
institutions of society, institutions
basieally and fundamentally foreign
and sOcialistic.
Then there is the blatant dema
gogue with half-baked ideas ready
to run riot, ready to upset evry-
thing but offering nothing construc
tive in the way of a substitute. He
attacks fiercely but hlindly, and
the more he attacks. the h,inie
lie gets and the more he shows his
ineompetency.
Is it any wonder that public OWL
er-ship or public management is an
economic failure?
If this great corporation Is to be
economically and efficiently manag-
ed, if well-ordered safeguards and
institutions OF society are to be
preserved. if we are to escape the
blight and curse of socialism
moving upon us like thief In the
night under the shelter of public
Observation-Disclosures in select
ing directors must at the ballot
box exercise more care and pru-
dence We cannot continue to
select blatant demogogues and in
compents and long escape econo-
mic disaster.
1t has been such convictions that
convinced may people that we need
q business man in the Presidential
chair for the next four years. The
Presidency In the past has run
largely to lawyers and theorists. We
need business man at the head
of our government Harding has
commended himself to the people
by sealing down the national bud
get and by paying off much of the
national debt Many think that
this would be an opportune time
for such business executive as
Ford to assume the Presidency. :
