Henry Ford for Senate.. autosmithcar.com

President Woodrow Wilson asked Ford to run as a Democrat for the United States Senate from Michigan in 1918. Although the nation was at war, Ford ran as a peace candidate and a strong supporter of the proposed League of Nations.^[16] Ford was defeated in a close election by the Republican candidate, Truman Newberry, a former United States Secretary of the Navy.


I found this information interesting, Henry Ford was a man of incredible power but I never knew how far that power went, all he way to the Oval Office.  I also have a blog about the Auto Industry and its impact on World War 2 and Henry Ford dove right in using his plants to produce war materials.
