(This editorial, obviously, is w rit ten in advance of Wednesday’s ballot ing). But we don’t necessarily think so. The polls, if you believe ’em at all, have shown that the American voter is tremendously uncertain this year. F irst one candidate, then the other, seems to have the edge. Nixon, even his detractors admit, has changed markedly from the man who turned victory into defeat against John Kennedy eight years ago. This time, he has waged an adroitly- handled campaign; he even has the press, formerly Just about 100 per cent hostile, taking another look. Besides, it is much easier to at tack than defend when running for office. Eight years ago, Nixon was running as caretaker for the Eisen hower administration. This time, he faces no such problem. He has a myriad of things about which he can pillory the Democrats. The Democratic nominee, most likely Hubert Horatio Humphrey, will have a pretty hard time making the voters forget about Viet-Nam, riots in the cities, soaring taxes, racial violence, the Pueblo incident, etc., ad naseum. Don’t write off Richard Nixon. Looking at the Seismic Scene Many of us, reading about earth fe’-son, Mt. St. Helens and Mt.
