Support of state legislation for the

However, roads and highways are a
highly contributory factor to good

Minnesota highway officials said
that the women of this state already

Ford For Coolidge
Changes Plans
G. o. P. OPPONENTS ARE ROB-
BED OFPOTENTIAL
: CANDIDATE.
By Arthur Sears Henning.


Washington, Dec. 20-Henry Ford's
declaration in favor of the retention
of Calvin Coolidge in the presidency
for four years more upset good
many political calculations and Great
ed considerable commotion among
politicians, particularly those of the
Jeffersonian persuasion and the, third
party radicals and other spokesmen
for the proletariat.
At one fell swoop both the demo-
cratic party and the nebulous third
party were bereft of potential can
didate fer the presidency, one who
was regarded as a promising dark
horse in the democratic paddock and
a white hope by those gathering at
the third ring. =
Coolidge Sends Thanks
The republicans alone were not TAX
en- unawares. 1t looks very much as
if the republican leaders knew what
was coming from the direction of De-
troit. Immediately upon Mr.. Ford's
Endorsement of the candidacy of Pre-
sident Coolidge being made public here
the president dispatched to the manu-
facturer telegram expressing ap-
probation of the Ford announcement.
Bascom Slemp, secretary to the presi-
dent, announced the. dispatch of the
telegram of thanks, but declined to
make it public. -e.,.e-.->
That Mr.. Ford would come out for
the nomination and election of Mr.
Coolidge has been predicted of late by
some observers of political affairs
Several weeks ago Mr.. Ford came to
.@.A 4 L.
White House and lunched with the
president. They talked principally
about the Ford bid for the Muscle
Shoals plant. ..
When Mr.. Ford had gone the presi-
dent expressed himself favorably to
the lease of Muscle Shoals on terms
, similar to those offered by the manu-
facturer. Mr.. Ford went home and
called off the third party meeting in
Detroit, which had been called to
launch, the Ford boom for president.
These circumstances suggested that a
significant rapproachment between
President Coolidge and Mr.. Ford had
taken place.
The flabbergastedness of the demo-
Gratis at the news from Michigan was
touching. :
McAdOo's Backers Pleased
While the Coolidge followers gen.
orally were exulting, some competent
observers took the view that Mr..
Ford's declaration would have clari-
flying, even though not helpful, effect
on the democratic and third party
outlook.
Mr.. Ford as candidate, they
pointed out, was bound TO create a
knotty problem in the democratic con-
vention. Mr.. McAdoo' s supporters
professed satisfaction over Mr.. Ford
action If it meant the denomination
of President Coolidge, they said, 3. Il
also meant that the democrats seek
ing to reap the benefits lof contrast,
would nominate. Mr.. McAd0U.
President Coolidge's supporters
thought the Ford statement would an
initiate the Hiram Johnson boom, but
Senator Johnson's friends commended
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-01-02

that Ford's strength was Of the mon
transferable kind" He might be a
Hercules himself but they doubted his
ability to deliver his strength to some
one else.
Senator Hiram Johnson said he was
not surprised at Ford's announce
ment.

Dairy cattle are pleasing posed IN

They are also useful in Christening

But the principal purpose Of dairy
cows Is economic. Dairy products

most people. The yearly son
sumption Of milk in this country IS
dfty-three gallons per capita.
\ woman couldn't keep house
without milk and its derivatives.
And to the farmer the dairy COW
is Il friend. For the quiet, patient
creature holds up one corner Of the
farm mortgage and prevents it from
sqUashing the struggling husband

So to all an increase in COW popu-
lation IN this county is desirable.
