Ford Campaign Launch by Pacifists in Philadelphia
In Philadelphia on May 10 pacifist groups under the Patriotic Peace Society initiated a late bid to nominate Henry Ford for U S president. A million stickers with Ford's name for the Pennsylvania primary were mailed to 6000 people with a note to tear and place them on ballots as war protest. Secretary Cadwalader denied German backing and said Ford approves the campaign though will not be directly involved. A wireless outfit marked the event. Separately a large oil burning warship will reach Delaware Breakwater tonight and Brooklyn navy yard tomorrow to join the Atlantic fleet in Southern waters. Oklahoma carries 80 seamen and 200 marines.
