GENESEE'S CANDIDATE

We feel perfectly justified in say
ing that any opinion we have hitherto
expressed relative to the desirability
of gubernatorial candidates is hereby
set aside and will be held in abeyance
until after the nominations shall have
been made. We are taking this
stand because Genesee County has a
most worthy candidate of her own.
Charles S. Mott, of Flint, who is seek
ing nomination on the Republican
ticket. Mr. Mott is citizen of the
most admirable type, worthy in ev-
cry particular of the enthusiastic
support of the electors OF his home
county and equally OF the support of
the people of the State of Michigan.
When we have a candidate of this
kind, common loyalty and common
sense dictate that we accord him our
undivided support, which we shall be
very glad to do. Charles S. Mott has
in his personality and career all of
the qualities that should recommend
him to the most favorable considera-
tion of an American electorate. He
ing in life without means, acquiring
thorough technical education,
founding business, becoming one of
the really great captains of industry,
and then using his means and his
talents in the most generous way for
the benefit of the community in which
he has made his home. For num-
Der of years he has been large con-
tributor to the support of the Flint
Y. M. C. A., he has given a large
tract of land, equipped with suitable
buildings, as home for unfortunate
children and has accorded generous
financial aid to innumerable other
benefactions in the City of Flint and
Genesee County. This realizes in an
ideal way type of manhood that is
very appealing, but in this instance
it is supplemented by qualities that
denote -blooded Americanism of
a very practical kind. Mr.. Mott, as a
young man, served as gunner's mate
on the u. S. ship yankee" during
the Spanish War. He followed this
with seven years service in the Ma
tional Guard of New York and during
the World War served as an officer
in the army, relinquishing extensive
private interests and giving without
reserve of his. time and means to ev-
cry patriotic enterprise in which his
country was engaged. In view of
facts such as these it is difficult to
conceive a more worthy candidate
| for the governorship than Charles s.
Mott, or one 5etter calculated to
command public support. We be-
lieve the Republicans of Genesee
County will be for him as a unit foi
the nomination, and in event of his
success in that regard, that he will
receive big majority Of the votes OF
the peopleof Michigan, regardless OF
party.

ANOTHER BARN BURNS

Last Tuesday morning, at about
300 o'clock, the family of Herman
Partridge, a well known farmer of
Mt Morris township were awakened
by the lively cracking of flames and
on arising discovered that their large
barn, filled with grain and live stock,
had become a roaring furnace, al
ready past human power to control.
1t was a very dramatic and stirring
event for the family and yet the sad
story is soon told. With the barn
there were destroyed about 500
bushels of wheat, 25 tons of hay, a
fine pair of five-year-old colts, just
broken, two hogs and forty spring
chickens, also a manure spreader,
wagon, and various other articles of
farm equipment. A fine up to date
cattle shed was also burned. Mr..
Partridge estimates his loss at $4,000
with insurance amounting to $4,000
The barn was 32X6S in size. Mr.
Partridge and his family are certain
ly to be sympathized with in their
loss. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous combus'
ton. ,tt

APoLoCETIc

The very first item on the first
page of The Messenger, this week,
will be in the nature of an apology
for the abbreviated state Of our news
columns. The editor has been all
alone again, and in addition to being
day late last week, took day off
this week. That made two days to
make up, with only half the ordinary
help on the job. The results have
been inevitable and if you miss
something you think you ought to be
able to see in these columns you will
have to make such allowances as the
circumstances may seem to warrant.

ROOSEVELT OBJECTS
To ROOT REMARKS
ON NATION LEAGUE
Jurist Erred in Assuming Orig
inal Treaty Form is De-
manded, He Says.

Cleveland. Oct. 20.-Speaking before
a large audience here at night, Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, Democratic vice presilen-
tial nominee, accused Elihu Root of be-
ing guilty of deliberate and clear mis-
representation of what are well known
facts, in his address on the League of
Nations in New York last night.
Mr.. Roots statement he said. sis
based on two major objections; first, to
article 10. and secondly, the allegation
that President Wilson by his attitude
was responsible for our failure to rat;fy
during the last session of the senate. He
says that article 10 undertakes to guar
antee and maintain by force of arms the
territorial boundaries adopted by the
chief representatives of the four nations
in Paris in 1919. Article 10 does gnar-
antee to maintain by force of arms It
guarantees to maintain the territorial
integrity of nations against outside ag-
erosion and in case threat against this
territorial integrity the council of the
league shall recommend what steps shall
be taken to prevent the execution of the
threat.
mfr. Root knows that force of arms
would not be recommended unless vari-
Gus other measures, such as international
ostraeism of the country making The
threat, had wholly failed and i'll case
of threatened world conflagration,
such as that through which we have just
passed. Every sane man knows that "a
case of another world war America would
be drawn in anyway whether We were
members of the league or not
Referring to Mr.. Roots allegation that
the treaty would have been ratified and
America would have been member of
the league If President Wilson was will
ing" Mr.. Roosevelt said:
president Wilson is not running for
collection The blame for what happen
ed has nothing to do with the present
election because of the simple fact the
issue of the league at the present time
is between Governor Cox and Senator
