You might assume from this de-| scription that Henry Ford is the man, He is. But these three state- ments fit equally well and apply to * Bill Wrigley, the chewing gum king. Yet neither he nor Gillette, the safety razor man, is being boomed for the | presidency. People who are unfamiliar with the | nside workings of American political parties have jumped to the conclu- | sion that all that is necessary for a nomination is that the man should be widely known and that he should | have some semblance of an organiza- tion throughout the country. Nothing ‘ould be further from the truth. The history of American politics reveals that at no time has any political per- sonality sprung to the front in a presidential contest without some conspicuous _pul service behind him. KEven William Jennings Bryan had served a term in Congress before his famous “Cross of gold” speechy in 1896. Woodrow Wilson did not ome direct from Princeton Univers ity to the White House, but served HENRY FORD. V.

On his last day in the Natipnal Cap- ttal the distinguished French gen- eral pald his respects to former Pri ident Wilson. The former President greeted his guest in the hallway of his 8 street home. Upon entering Gen., Gouraud kissed Mr. Wilson on each cheek. It was sald that the visit was only a friendly one and that matters of state were not mentioned. Later in the day Gen Gouraud w presented with the medal of the Di abled American War Veterans' Asso- clation. AUTO SALES RECORD.

ADAMS, JSRivtes, * sonably LING, rs | beginning to recognize it made to recognize an outsider if they do_not wish to do_so. If Henry Ford should be nominated by a third party convention, he would draw most of his strength from the agricultural states. This would hurt the republican party more than it would the democratic party. In fact, in a three-cornered contest almost anything might happen, but It is in- conceivable that one or the other of the two old parties would not poll | the largest number of electoral votes. The Ford party might finish second, but never first. H The danger recognized by all prac- | tical politicians, however, is that if Henry Ford should be nominated on a third party ticket and make an ac- ve campaign he might carry enough | states to prevent the other two can- didates from getting a majority in | the electoral college. This would throw the election of a President and Vice President into the House of Representatives—a situation that | always attended by great excitement and confusion. The election would then be by state delegations in Con- gress, and a republican or democrat { would be elected—not a third party man. Henry Ford can never be elected | President of the United States, be- cause he cannot poll enough electoral votes, but he possesses the power and the money to make trouble for the two old political parties, and they are Charles { D. Hilles, republican national com- | mitteeman from New York state and {at one time chairman of the republi- | can_national committee and secretary | to President Taft, has already {ssued | a blast against Ford. It would not | be surprising if some of the leading democratic political leaders did the same. They would make common cause against Ford, and it is all be- ! cause none of them believes he has | the capacity to hold an elective office | such as that of the presidency. He jwould have fared better if he had elected to the United States Senate or if he had run for governor | of Michigan and demonstrated his abllity to conduct a public office as well as he can manage a private busi- ness.

The girl is charged with the murder of her unnamed child, it being alleged that she cut the child’s throat in this city and disposd of the body at a place known as Jazz Beach, in Arlington county, Va, On the advice of her counsel, E. E. Johnson of Culpeper, the prisoner has refused to make a statement concern- ing the charge. Counsel is reported by Detective Mulien as having sald his client admitted being the mother of a still-born_infant. Testimony obtalned by Crandal Mackey was submitted to Assistant United States Attorney Ralph Given, who directed the. issuance of the war- rant charging murder. Inspector Grant arranged to have Mr. Mackey present in his office this afternoon when he ques- tions the prisoner. —_— DIES AFTER RESCUE. Miss Florine McDonald, telephone operator at Harrington Hotel, who was saved from drowning in the river near the south end of Highway bridge late Friday afternoon, died at_Casualty Hospital last night. When the young woman was taken from the river by a lifeguard she was_given first aid and removed to the home of her sister, 1205 H street northeast, where she resided.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ATLANTIC CITY, July 9—Amid] scenes as far removed from the gr(me; of the coal mines or the grim |"lpzm'hi of northern winter as the Imagina‘ion | well could picture, the nnthracne‘} miners and the barons of the Penn- sylvania coal fields locked horns to- day over the question of whether or not there shall be a coal strike in the coming autumn. A sapphire July sea washed the whitened beaches of this far-famed| resort as ihe operators poured forth their reasons for refusing the 20 per | cent increases in wages demanded by ! the miners, and thus has begun a; | struggle of the master minds of in-| dustry and unionists which may drag itself along until the present working agreement expires August 31. At the present moment the battle- fleld lles between two of the most magnificent hotels the Boardwalk can | boast, The operators are ensconsed ! in the towering Traymore, rising like | some great behemoth above the sands of the vea. Three-quarters of a mile | away, in the Ambassador, with its| marbie hat-band boasted 'exclusive- | ness, are the miners, headed by John} L. Lewls, their national president. At| | the beginning of the struggle the miners have had the advantage of conferences on their home grounds, Mr. Lewls being the chairman of the | joint meeting and the Venetian gar- | dens of the Ambassador the scene of | the parleys. The rival camps are so| well and so sumptuously intrenched | that a decision to fight it out along | the Boardwalk, even If it takes all summer. strikes no terror either to| the slated representatives of the un- | early of the mining industry. Have Full Report. _ Neither side to the pending nego- tiations wase excited over, or by, the finding of the national coal commis- sion appointed bv President Harding. Both the miners and the operators| already knew all of the facts brought | out by the commission. They may | differ with some of the conclusions, but as these conclusions can have no weight in the gettlement of the issues joined here the disposition is to go ahead without any especlal regard to the painstaking labors of John Hays Hammond and his associates. It must not be ‘understood from | this that the miners and the overuom, have taken the position of “the pub- lic be damned.” That is far from the case. The truth is that both sides to the present controversy are going to extend that controversy over a period of weeks so that they may get a certain amount of propaganda before the people. The miners want public sentiment on their side and believe they can win it with a proper amount of publicity. The operators are ln'lntlnT already that they have public sentiment running .in their direction, and they want to keep it coming in &s long as possible.
