The Campaign Ends

Now that the 1914 presidential
campaign has come to an end, the
positions of the two candidates and
the nature of their respective cam
paigns can be seen in some>perspec-
tive.
Despite the evident anxiety Of the
Democrats-some of them even 60
ing so far as to issue denials of
charges that had never been made
there were no laSt-minute Sensa-
tions. Both candidates, the Presi-
dent in Boston and Governor Dewey
in New York, wound up their appeals
to the voters Saturday night with
addresses which were essentially
summationS of the points they have
been making throughout the. cam
paign. At the end, they remained in
substantial agreement as to the post
war character of this eountrys for
eign policy-a circumstance OF very
great Importance. They also re-
manned in agreement that the best
available men are in command of
our military effort. Their differ
ences, so far as they may be put
into words, dealt with domestic
questions and personalities.
Governor Dewey unquestionably
hopes that the President is going to
the well once too often in this elec-
ton. He is counting on the inevitable
disaffections that build up during
twelve years in power, on the reluc-
tance of most Americans to per-
petuate any man in the White
House. That is why he has beens
bounding away on the theme thatG
it is time for change, picturing the
President as a tired and quarrel
some old man who has been too long
in Office.
The Republican candidate seemed
to be trying especially to impress
his audience with this conviction
Saturday night. Governor Dewey,
coming on the air after the Presi-
dent, spoke with force and vigor.
In spots there seemed to be a con-
scious effort on his part to this end.
Mr.. Roosevelt, on the other hand,
did sound q little tired. He stil1'
ranks high as political speaker, but
he is not the campaigner of old.
Aside from the question: Of youth
VS.. relative age, there is little differ
ence between the stated positions
of the candidates. Mr.. Roosevelt
stands on his record, and promises
only continuation of established
policies. Mr.. Dewey does not pro-
pose to change these policies in any
material respect. What he does
promise is better administration
OF them, and to a country that has
grown tired of the New Deal' in
many of its ramiflcations, that is an
attractive appeal If it were not for
the fact that we are at war, there
is little doubt that the Republicans
would win overwhelmingly. But the
war is uppermost in many minds,
and there is nothing that Mr.. Dewey
can do about it.
Under all the circumstances, he
has conducted what has been, on
the whole, good campaign. He has
neglected nothing and has made but
few mistakes. The election will be
decided, not on anything that he has
said or failed to say, but by the size
OF the so-called protest vote, by the
number of people who, campaign
issues aside, have made up their
minds that it is time for a change.

Election Pros and Cons

TO the Editor Of The star:
America has been called ''the cradle
Of liberty but from present appear
ances liberty, as well as peace, have
been rocked to sleep.
A few courageous souls are endeavor-
ing to uncover the destructive activities
going on in our country and are point
ing to our Constitution as the corner
stone on which rest all the blessings OF
liberty and peace we should enjoy as
Americans. Our American flag is loyed
and honored, not only because 1t REPRE-
sents our country, as Nation, but be-
cause it Is an emblem OF life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.
The cry goes up from humanity every
where for peace, peace, where there is
no peace" There is much talk about
peace these days, but, as Mark Twain
said about the weather, very little is
done about 1t"
"The peace that passeth understand
ing" is what we need and 1t is not OBJ
tanned through criticism, recrimination
or by showing up the other fellows
faults and mistakes, but by correcting
our own.
Politics is a dirty game unless the
players "abide by the rules" play with
clean hands and pure hearts and a
new and right spirit within" And that
is why 1t is time for change" not only
in the administration but in the method
of the players" for as the beloved Will
Rogers once said, in regard to preserv-

Solution Seen For Tax Problem

Ypsilanti city council Monday
evening may take step toward
solution OF tax assessment prob
lens by acting on a suggestion
from Lansing.
Under the proposal from the
state capital the city assessor
would be delayed in presenting the
rolls to the treasurer for -eollec-
ton. This delay would be suf-
ficient to allow those who APP
pealed to the board of review to
apply to the state tax commission
for review.
James Breakey, attorney for
Ypsilanti Taxpayers Association,
Andrew Smith and Charles Hill,
members OF the association, re-
viewed the tax situation here in a
two hour conference Friday with
Arthur Hagen, secretary of the
state tax commission They point

they did not have sufficient eBpeF-
tunity TO make appeals before the

were unchanged and after no fur.
Their contact had been made with
them, they felt they had a griev.

Since state statutes prohibit in
