LEAGUE IS DOOMED;
IT HAS NO POWER
DECLARES EUROPE
EXPECTED TO PREVENT WAR, 1T
CANNOT LIFT A FINGER IN
THAT DIRECTION

Rev. Joseph M. Duff, who has re-
Gently returned from a European trip
that included visit to the capitals
of several countries, has given pub
licity to some very vivid impressions
he gathered with reference to Europe
an conditions.
In an article in recent edition of
the Presbyterian Banner DR.. Duff
makes this statement:
II got a clear impression OF the gen.
orally prevailing opinion in Europe as
to the League of Nations. 1t il that it
is doomed to futility. It's main reason
for coming into existence was the pre-
vention OF war, and yet with three
wars in progress the League of Ma
tions has not lifted a finger.
Recently when the Society for the
Prevention of War petitioned Lloyd
George to make use of the League of
Nations or any other influence to put
a stop to the bloody struggles that are
now In progress the British Premier
replied, England cannot furnish a
single battalion to the League OF Ma
lions. Italy and France are obligated
to furnish certain troops but neither
one of these governments would be
able to fulfill that obligation
1.-The simple fact is" concludes DR..
Duff, that Europe has learned that
her governments can no longer force
soldiers to fight wherever they are or.
dered, and that much less can any
super-government compel soldiers to
fight, or miners, mechanics or others
to work in the interests of some war
in which they have no vital concern"

LEADERS Of NATION
unite IN URGING
HARDING'S ELECTION
FIFTEEN PRESIDENTS OF COL.
LEGES. AND UNIVERSITIES JOIN
IN IMPRESSIVE STATEMENT

One of the most impressive docu'
ments OF the present campaign Is pro-
vided through statement made by al
most two score of the men OF ma
tion-wide prominence who were early
and urgent in their favor for action on
the part of the United States in the
way OF an organization of nations in
opposition TO war and for the main
tenance Of peace and good will.
This statement is headed by Elihu
Root. Charles Evans Hughes and DR..
Lyman b. Abbott. 1t contains the
and universities including Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia, Cornell. Amherst
and Dartmouth, and is further sub
scribed TO by men who have given
time and thought to the entire League
of Nations subject.
This united group of men join in urg-
ing the election of Senator Harding
and the defeat of Governor Cox. Here
is one of the most significant para
graphs of the document issued to the
America people:
I'VE believe that we can most effec-
lively advance the cause Of interna-
tionaI cooperation to promote peace
by supporting Mr.. Harding for election
to the presidency"
No other statement with reference
to the presidential campaign .ow in
progress, has received the attention
and created such profound impress
sion as this appeal by the foremost
statesmen and educational leaders OF
the United States for the election OF
the Republican pr sident in the in
terest of world wide peace.

FAVOR OF FARMERS
FOR GROESBECK
WELL EXPLAINED
L. WHITNEY WATKINS SAYS THEY
LIKE THE WAY GRoESBECk
APPROACHES PROBLEMS
FARMERS ASK NO FAv0RS

One of the most significant develop
ments of the present campaign in
Michigan has been the unusual degree
OF friendliness and favor that has come
to Alex J. Groesbeck, the Republican
candidate for Governor, from the
farmers of the STATE and from the
people of the farming sections and
counties.
This feature of the campaign has
been well explained by l.. Whitney
Watkins, Farm Bureau leader and a
former progressive candidate for gov.
ernor, in behalf of himself and his
thousands of farmer friends.
I'VE farmers like rhe way Mr.. Groes.
beck approaches public problems" ex.
planned Mr.. Watkins. I'VE liked the
way he conducted the affairs of the
attorney generals Office with saving,
in various ways, of two million dollars
to the people, and we liked the way
he called the farmers in after he was
nominated and asked them what they
thought was best for the economic
welfare of not only themselves but Of
all the people of the State of Mich.
igan.
Mr.. Groesbeck didn't do this when
he needed the farmer vote most-be
fore the primary. We believe his cleo
ton was already assured when, after
his nomination, he came to us and
asked us what we needed. In the
primaries he left he farmers to Mr.
Campbell. The conference with our
leaders afterward was the first time in
history to my knowledge, a guberna
torial candidate ever sought us out to
discuss affairs with US.
Thousands of farmers wanted Mr.
Campbell for governor, feeling he
knew the needs of the agriculturist
Mr.. Campbell's friends are now with
Mr.. Groesbeck. they recognize the
Republican candidate is broad enough
to include their own business IS pro.
ducers of food along with other basic
industries in his ,'lans in behalf OF
the state at large.
After all, what IL Of greatest benefit
to the farmer is of benefit to the con.
sumner and we believe Mr.. Groesbeck
recognizes this. Any ne who traces
to its ultimate destination the money
he spends for commodities will dis.
cover that it isn't the farmer who gets
an unjust share. The money disap.
pears in other places between he pro.
Queer and the consumer, oftentimes
the cost and delays of transportation
alone amounting to several times what
the producer gets for his stuff. The
farmer wants and demands absolutely
nothing but adequate recognition and
"a square deal.
MIR. Ferris, the Democratic nominee
is pointing to his record as reason
for sending him back to Lansing. Mr..
Ferris has no personal record OF
achievement in public office. AS Gov
ernor he was fortunate in having a
corking good Republican legislature
and about the only thing that can be
said for Mr.. Ferris is that he did
nothing to block the good work of this
legislature"
Mr.. Watkins said ne believed Mr.
Groesbeck had succeeded in uniting
all factions of the Republican party
and had the support of an organ .zatior
with an unbroken front.
Charlevoix county herald., 1920-10-29

At the presidential primary of last
spring a plurality of the Democrats of
Michigan who expressed their choice
for president at that primary decided
in favor of Herbert Hoover. More
Michigan Democrats favored Hoover
for president than any other candidate.
In view of this fact II is interesting to
note that Hoover IL now giving zeal.
Gus support to Senator Harding and is
publicly urging his Democratic friends
to support the Republican candidate.

WaterIess Animals.

That there are animals that live
without drinking is shown by the ga.
zelles on the island of Saad-ud-Din off
the coast of Somaliland, where there is
no fresh water at all, and where the
annual rainfall is less than two and
three-quarter inches.
Charlevoix county herald., 1920-10-29

No possible consideration of good
citizenship or personal deserving can
be urged as reasons why any Michigan
Republican should vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor rather
than for their own party nominee.
Mr.. Ferris and Mr.. Groesbeck have
both served the people of this state in
high official positions; Mr.. Ferris as
governor and Mr.. Groesbeck as attor-
ney general.
