Kansas City, Dec. 22.—Henry Ford will get you if you don’t watch out. Such is the threat that is ringing constantly these days in the ears of ill Kansas pollticans, be they demo crats or republicans. If the Detroit millionaire has the politicians of the other states guess ing as much as he has the “party engineers" of Kansas he is causing considerable uneasiness. The general fear Is that Ford will not seek the presidential nomination i f either major party, but will enter the 1924 maelstrom under an indepen dent banner. Within a week several republican and democratic authorities have openly told of their fear of Kord’s candidacy. Ignores Leaden. So far as Kansas is concerned, Ford *»m« to be playing a deliberate game •f Ignoring party leaders. It is known that several prominent state derrjo ciat* have made advances to him with the purpose of lining up with him, hut to all appearances Ford has ignored them completely. A factor that may play an Impor tant part of the Ford maneuvering is the attitude of the Ford sales and mechanical employes throughout Kan sas and other states. A high official of the Ford assem bly plant here was asked fo explain lit* attitude toward his employer as ■ i presidential candidate- He replied: "There is. no question about the sincerity of Mr. Ford In what he goes into, and I believe there Is no ques tion but that he would take the presi dential nomination were It offered him. "If either of the national parties nominate Mr. Ford, I will be for him iggressively. Of course, I shall be for him anyway, but I would prefer lo see one of the major parties nom inate him. "I believe that if Mr. Ford were president he would make more bene final sweeping changes in matters of putting the government on a more ef ficient basis." No Detroit Urging. The official was asked If he had received any request or suggestion from Detroit to boost Ford's candi dacy to which he replied: "Neither the Ford Motor Car com pany nor any of its officials will make any suggestion to employes as to what their political twolce should be. I know I am speaking with au thority when I say that it will be Air. Ford's wishes that such matters i>e left to the judgment of each in dividual." The above statement, of course, came from the executive offices, and • lid not necessarily represent the ■ •pinion of the muititudo of workers in the assembly rooms- Hence, sev eral of the latter were questioned .-hnilarly. Foremen, polishers, mechanics, up holsterers and janitors of the Ford plant were qulifted, and, while some were not so strong in their testimony for their employer ns was their ex ecutlve, more than 80 per ce.nt dc lared in his favor.

Christmas Joy to Be Scarce at Bennett Home; Andy Still I^aid Up "Christmas at our house has been bad enough, but It will be worse this year.’’ said Mrs. .John Bennett, 1207 Izard street, mother of StevlA Ben nett, 9, who died of injuries on Novem ber 13, a few hours after being struck by a heavy truck. Steve, who had been a cripple since a little boy, was on his way to St. Joseph hospital for surgical dressing. His brother. Andy, 13, was also struck down. Andy was so badly injured that he has been confined to the hos pital ever since. He had to lie flat on his back for several weeks on account of injuries to his spine. In order to keep the boy's back straight after a dislocation of a vertebra, a large plaster cast was placed about the upper part of Andy's laxly. He Is able to sit up in a wheel chair, with the cost on. after six weeks of patient waiting. A deep gash In his leg is almost healed. Andy's mother spends three after noons a week with him at the hos pital, although she has a baby 18 months old to care for and two other children at home. John, 11, is mother to little Elizabeth while the mother visits Andy. "I can't think of Christmas with out dear little Stevie,” the mother said at the hospital yesterday. The tears welled up in her eyes and her lips quivered. "Aw, mom, don't cry, Stevie Is all right.” Andy said to his mother. She stands by his wheel chair stroking his h!ond hair. Andy's face reddens with embarrassment for his mother as the other children in the hospital ward gaze at her tears. "I don't exactly believe In Santa Claus," said Andy, "but there is a Christmas spirit over us." “All I want la a watch and a chance to see the chapel here all decorated on Christmas eve. 1 have permission to stay up later that night." "I am going to try to get Andy a watch the first of the year, when my husband get* hsi pay." Andy will not go home for Christ mas. He isn't able to walk yet. "Next week I will have a smaller cast, the doctor told me,” said Andy cheerfully. It Is with these bits of news that Andy bravely faces his mother at each visit. He doesn't want to talk of Steve, his brother. i— Nebraska News Nubbins t KALI ,8 CITY—Fall* City, aided by Cupid, has acored again. Heven year* ngr> Andrew .1.
