ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT
Detroit Free Press

Michigan knows Charles S. Mott,
vice-president of the General Mo
tors Company, as a person of en-
perience and insight, who has his
finger on the pulse of industry
and understands what tends to
promote good time and what tends
to check them; and speaking as a
practical man of affairs Mr.. Mot,
says;
In my judgment, the Ameri.
can people should elect Herbert
Hoover as President, and sustain
him, and the country s best econ
omie and spiritual welfare with a
Republican Congress. 1t would be
a grave mistake to interrupt ex-
isting SATELLITES and trade our tire
mendous experiments under diff
ferent auspices. There is much to
be lost by changing and nothing to
be gained. .
Mr.. Mott S interest in the out
come Of the impending national
election is unconventional an d
practical 1t is mruled by preju-
dice or sentiment aud it is his
Judgment that the election of Mr..
Hoover win be safe aud sauc from
every standpoint What Mr.. Mott
says ought to carry weight with
people who consider the welfare of
the country and their own part in
it at all seriously.

 MT. Kilbourne's name was men, toned by Gustav Battaglia, son of a contractor. Battaglia testified be- fore the council committee that he had received orders to take the cobbles to Kilbourne's property on Stanley street and he also told the committee he had witnessed their use in the construction of cellars. The witness said he was aware that the stones were supposed to be sent to Wells street, but that he was fol- lowing orders from his superiors when he took them to Kilbourne's s lot.
