Declaring the world ia entering a new age* "the industrial and more' comfortable age," Ford said the coun­ try needs a President equipped t o ’ handle the problems o f the new day. “ The country has become more than group o f governmental offices," Ford said. “ It ia a great and grow­ ing social and productive power, and it needs a man who knows how to nuke# the material world serve the social world. It is not enough for him to desire this, but to know how to g o about it. Hoover knows." ‘“Prohibition is here to stay, no matter who is elected President. The people d o not consider prohibition the issue in this campaign—they settled that 3wme long ago—what they are thinking about is a President best fitted to deal with the problems that will coiffamt the Chief Executive in this new a ge—what I call the indus­ trial and mote comfortable age. “ Herbert Hoover has been heading toward (tha Presidency fo r a good many years—but lie didn’t know it," Ford Said, “ Parties may pick the candidates, .but destiny picks the Pre­ sidents, lit is nothing against a man i f he Is mot the choice o f destiny; but if he Is, then he has his job cut out to r hiity The Presidency is not an ‘honor,’ but a job. A mere political President is ISke a mere oratorical President*—he Is wot necessary any longer- He is out o f date. “ To ftilfim his part in the national plan, a wan had fib begin pretty far back. Hoover began thirty-five years ago when he became m engineer* The country ha* become more than a group o f governmental offices. It is a great and growing aortal and pro­ ductive power, and it needs a man Who knows how to make the material world serve the social world, l t is not enough fo r hiift to desire this, but to know how to g o abeat It. Ha know* •What people mean when ihey talk i about the** thing*. , \ / ‘What would you think o f busi­ ness leader who should say that his great mission Was to reorganize the office o f his concern? The main, consideration is. always increase the betterment o f the productive energy and methods. Well, it is just the same when politicians stress organ­ ization o f Government offices. The real business o f the country is not at W a s h i n g t o n —but everywhere, in every town and hamlet, in every' family in the land. Hoover under­ stands that. “ Business men are fo r him, on this understanding, They/ feel that he sees business as part o f the service o f life—not as a separate interest feeding upon life. You can not grant anything like ‘special privilege’ to business. Business is based on the general privilege >o f everybody to work and prosper, “Hoover is( engineer enough to know that nobody evCr gains anything from ‘special privilege.’ Under the American system we believe in the circulation o f prosperity. It has got to circulate to exist at all.. Broad­ minded business men know this. That is-Why they are forgetting parties and supporting Hoover. “His stand on prohibition is abso­ lutely right. He believes in it. He says that it is one factor in American prosperity*. Certainly it* is an in­ dispensable factor in our industrial efficiency. The npn-drinking nation* are going- to lead. Over in Europe the restrictions on liquor are becom­ ing tighter and tighter, even 3ft Eng­ land, The country knows it is on tho right track in this matter, and will permit no one to change it, Hoover’s straight-forward statement satisfies me that the fooling about prohibition is about done. “No „matter who is elected Presi­ dent* prohibition will stay. The people know that it ia here to stay and alt this talk about a change and the return of beer or liquor Will sooit cease. Already such talk is subsiding; soon it will be gone, People do hot consider prohibition the issue of this campedgn- -th*y settled that long ago —what they toe thinking about l* a President best fitted to deal with the problems that will confront the Chief Executive in thl* new age." *
