and other Republican nominees. say
ing that he realized that all parties
make mistakes. his party among
them. but that he disagreed with
many policies and actions OF the
New Deal, and that therefore he
would vote Republican. He men
toned the capabilities OF both nom
inees and stated that they were
both excellent men for the posi-
tons.
Morry Chudnovsky, Detroit. took
an opposite viewpoint, stating that
it was his belief that Republicans
had voted wrongly on most of the
important bills Immediately pre-
ceding this war. Although those In
power may not be prosecuting this
war correctly, he said, political par
ties should show a unified force in
the present war efforts.
The "home rule for Wayne Coun-

Paul Ungrodt, secretary Of the
Ypsilanti Board OF Commerce.
Through the years, he said. policies
and institutions OF government be-

who can put forth united efforts
for a world peace program. and
hoped to see the United States as
a solid political front soon.
The final speaker was Ralph
Chapman, Mt Clemens, telling OF
the amendment proposing to revise
the Michigan constitution. Doing
this. he said, would eliminate many
other amendments which have been
necessary during each election. The
present constitution, he stated was
written in 1905 and since then the
situation has changed greatly. The
three main evils Of the present doc
ument, Mr.. Chapman said, are its
length, the poorly appOrtiOned rep
resentation. and the poorly set-up
executive department.
A question aud discussion period
followed the forum. Opening the
meeting. the entire group sang the

The only trouble was that West
had four tricks before South got

to be played before the deal was
finished. In other words. West,
with his big handicap, only had to

fact, he did 1t while South was
