In 1920, the Republicans distributed 5,000,000 of these in crucial states. There are also campaign...
Some years ago, Henry Ford established an experimental factory at Cork, but his calculations did not in-clude the local brand of corrupt politics. Abandoning the Irish base, he next tried Southampton but ran into the heavy handicap of red tape on the part of city officials. Simultaneously, he opened a small plant near Manchester, but has not found it desirable to expand his facilities there...
