The Campaign Ends
Today marks the end of the national campaign of
1956. The finale we believe comes as a relief to every
one including the candidates.
Perhaps there have been campaigns as depressing
as this one from the standpoint of relevancy, common
sense and good sportsmanship, but if so we can't re
call them.
There have been other "coat tail" campaigns but
none in our memory so flagrantly and frankly an at
tempt to capitalize on the personal popularity of a
President of the United States, and nothing else.
" We refer particularly of course to the senatorial
contest in this state, which aroused thtfmost feeling
and caused the greatest public interest.
TF the supporters of former Secretary of the Inter-
ior Douglas McKay ever referred to his record in
that office with praise, or named any of his qualities
of "character or achievement entitling him to high of
fice we failed to note them. The entire effort to elect
McKay was concentrated in a steady ban-age of abuse
and hatred for his opponent, compounded by half
truths and deliberate misrepresentation and smears.
The only affirmative recommendation presented
for the f oimer Secretary of the Interior we ever noted
was the fact that, if elected, he could always be de
pended upon to obediently salute his party superiors
and vote the Republican ticket straight.
What a confession of weakness !
PVEN more extraordinary, the entire daily press of
- the state with only two exceptions never had a
kind word to say in the campaign for the man who
had served as senator faithfully and conscientiously
for over a decade. Moreover, in varying degrees, they
all joined in the "crusade to get Morse," at all costs,
and cruicify him, particularly for having the courage
to leave a party in which he no longer believed and
join, a party in whose basic
he did believe.
The theme song of the
ways "a vote for Morse is a
Eyen that isn t true, benator Morse has a better
record for supporting the President, particularly his
foreign policy, than many members' of his own party,
and' anyone who knows him knows that he has and
will support the President when he believes him right
and oppose him when he believes him wrong just as
he has done during the past twelve years whether a
Democrat or Republican occupies the White House.
IF Wayne Morse can win with such tremendous and
unscrupulous opposition to him, and one so abund
antly financed, then we believe even many of his
enemies will admit, two things at least Senator
Morse has something on the ball as a campaigner, and
in Oregon we have not only a highly literate but a de
termined and discriminating electorate. R.W.R.

Matter of Fact
THE CAMPAIGN:
FINAL IMPRESSIONS
Washington Having travelled
all over the country, from Port
land, Ore., to Pittsburgh, Penn.,
to talk to the
voters, these
reporters are
now rather
nervously pre
pared to re
cord their im
pressions of
what the vot
ers are likely
to do on elec
tion day and
lofceun Aisod
why. The first nervous impres
sion is that the voters will prob
ably re-elect Dwigl.t D. Eisen
however by a fairly handsome
majority. The second is that, con
trary to general opinion, the
President was not unbeatable
from the start. The third is that
Adlai Stevenson, despite his
many virtues, was simply not
the man to beat him.
Six weeks or so ago, when
the campaign was just beginning
to roll, we would never have
dared to re-
cord the first
impress ion
above (w h i ch
may, of course,
make us look
very foolish on
November
seventh). For
in mid-September
it sudden
ly began to
9
sir
Stewart Aiiop
seem that Eisenhower was in
real danger.
On a trip to the Northwest,
one of us found a surprising
number of people in the work
ers' districts who had voted for
the President in 1952, and now
said they would vote for Steven
son. On two trips to the Iowa
corn-hog country, another found
an even more surprising num
ber of farmers who were ready,
eager and anxious to switch.
1VIOREOVER, there was evi
dence that Stevenson was
really beginning to register as
a candidate. There was, for ex
ample, his toughly partisan,
highly effective speech at the
National plowing contest in
Iowa, to which the huge crowd
of assembled farmers responded
with genuine and obvious 'en
thusiasm. Here, it seemed, was the much-
, heralded "new Stevenson," a
! personality and a candidate to
, be reckoned with. But then, to
; ward the beginning of October.
I something seemed to happen to
this new Stevenson.
One thing that happened to
him was, quite simply, that the
! President jumped into the cam
paign with both feet. When the
President jumped, moreover, he
carried in with him a number
: of enormous assets. He had the
prestige of his office, always a
; vast advantage to an incumbent
President. He had the friendliest
press any President has had in
this century. He had some ex
cellent speeches, for which his
chief and for all practical pur
poses only speechwriter, Emmet
Hughes, deserves a bow.
He also had "the Eisenhower
aura," a phenomenon first de
scribed in this space and since
much commented on the glow
ing personality which somehow
cheers people up, makes them
feel happy and confident. And
yet, Eisenhower aura and all,
the President was not really un
beatable.
T"espite "Eisenhower prosperi-
ty" there are a great many
people in this country who are
discontented for one reason or
another farmers worried about
losing their farms, old people,
working people out of a job or
badly in debt, Negroes and other
minority groups who feel them-
selves unfairly treated and de-
; nied their share of the national
economic pie.
' These discontented people
were the key element in the
I patch-work majorities put to
gether by Franklin Roosevelt
and Harry Truman. These are
the people, many of whom ex
pressed their discontent in 1952
t by voting for Eisenhower, whom
! Stevenson had to .attract to his
I candidacy by a big majority, in
I order to win.
! He has attracted some. Wher-
! ever we have been in these
1 final weeks of the campaign, we
have found some small leakage
; of previous Eisenhower voters
! to Stevenson, only partially
compensated by a leakage the
other way. But the leakage has
j not become the flood it had to
! be for Stevenson's purposes.
m
pARTLY this has been because
i of the nature of tne cam-
paign Stevenson has staged in
i these final weeks. Whatever the
i objective merits of Stevenson's
4: J -n

Jo and Stewart Alscp
stand on the draft and hydrogen
bomb tests, these issues have
served to obscure the much larg
er issue of the Eisenhower ad
ministration's dangerous short
comings in the defense and
foreign policy fields. More im
portant, they have also served
to obscure the bread-and-butter
issues which a Democratic can
didate must forcefully exploit
in order to win.
For, as one travels the coun
try and talks to the voters, one
becomes vividly aware of the
fact that this is a far more class
conscious society than is gener
ally supposed. The endlessly
repeated phrase "The Demo
crats are more for the little
guys" sums up the central
Democratic asset. It also sug
gests why Eisenhower was not
unbeatable. Yet Stevenson does
not fit comfortably into the role
of protector and friend of "the
little guys." And this is perhaps
the main reason why, unless ap
pearances deceive, he seems des
tined to a second defeat.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
This is the night before elec
tion. Back in Washington, a
Great Leader and a Great Amer
ican must be wondering -What to
morrow will bring. Somehow I
can't help repeating in this space
tonight what was said here on
the night before election back
in 1952. It still seems to fit the
situation:
rjEAR IKE:
This is THE DAY the day
when, as Kipling put it so well in
his Recessional:
The tumult and the shouting
dies;
The captains and the kings de
part:
Still stands Thine ancient sac
rifice, An humble and a contrite
heart.
I'M sure I know what you're
doing today, Ike. You're going
back in your mind over all these
days these so often hard and
bitter days since you left a
soldier's quiet and honorable life
and came back to enter the hula-
baloo of a rough-and-tumble
Presidential campaign.
Yours is "an humble and a
contrite heart," and you're scan
ning your every act during this
political Donneybrook Fair to
see if it measured up to your
code of a soldier and a gentle
man. You re saying: "Dear Lord
if I have done aught that was
unbecoming, forgive me. I didn't
mean it so."
That prayer is coming from
your heart.
DON'T worry, Ike. You've done
all rierhf Thfteo nf ,ic wh ara
pinning our faith to you are
proud of you. You've fought a
good fight, and you've kept the
faith.
rpHESE are trying hours, Ike.
The chips are all down.
Everything has been done that
can be done. All that remains
is to wait and see how it all
turns out. Nothing is so hard as
waiting.
It tries men's souls. .
TUT it isn't new to you, Ike.
" Remember that night before
D-Day when the fate of your
country hung upon the sound
ness of the preparations you had
made for the Great Adventure?
It was rugged.
But you had what it took. In
the final hours, the weather re
ports turned bad. It all hinged,
you remember, on the weather.
The reports said in ONE DAY
MORE it looked like the weather
would be favorable. You didn't
flinch. You made your decision
unhesitatingly and postponed it
a day.
That took COURAGE. We

Britain, France Said
Forced by Nasser's
Mid-East Ambitions
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Britain and France attacked
Egypt because they felt they
must stop President Gamal Ab-
dol rasser be
fore it became
too late.
British Prime
Minister An
thony Eden
and French
Premier Guy
Mollet, it is in
dicated, were
convinced
Charles M. McLaim that Nasser.
was a potential Hitler.
That is the reason why they
attacked in defiance of the
United Nations and risked their
alliance with the United States.
Eden and Mollet are not trigger-happy
men. They appear to
ijave decided they had to set off
what they hoped would be a
brief and limited explosion to
prevent a bigger one later on.
The situation goes far beyond
Nasser's seizure of the Suez Can
al. Eden and Mollet saw their
entire position in the Middle
East threatened by Nasser's am
bitions. Oil Interests
They felt that Nasser had
made it plain that he aspired
to be the master of the Arab
world. They appear to have felt
that, if that happened, the
enormous Allied oil interests in
the Middle East which involve
American interests, would- fol
low Suez.
Nasser had left no doubt that
he hoped to wipe Israel from
the map. The United States,
Britain and France were pledged
to act if he tried.
One big factor which entered
into the British-French decision
was that Russian arms are re
ported to be flowing into Egypt
still in an unceasing flow.
Another of immediate and urg
ent concern to France, was that
French leaders regard Nasser as
the moster mind behind the Al
gerian rebellion, France's No. 1
problem.
The United States suspects
Britain and France put Israel up
to invading Egypt to give them
a pretext to move against Nasser
on Jthe ground that the canal was
endangered. It's denied, but it
could be.
NEED men with that kind of
courage.
rPHAT one turned out all right.
Millions of us are hoping
with you that this one turns out
all right.
TN these last trying hours of
waiting Ike, there's something
I think you ought to know.
MOST of us who are following
you, who are staking our hopes
on you, aren't interested in post
masterships and such. We're for
you because we trust you. We
trust you because you're the
kind of person people instinctive
ly trst.
T SUPPOSE you wouldn't re-
member an evening in late
summer in 1945 in the little park
that runs along the Main river
in Frankfurt, where you had
your headquarters. Let me re
fresh your memory.
A group of GI's was sitting
on a bench there, flirting with
the frauleins, cutting out the
commissioned officers and grous
ing about the lucky stiffs who
had got out on points and had
gone home to get all the fat
jobs that were lying around.
Somebody glanced up. There,
maybe 20 feet away, was an of
ficer with stars all over his
shoulders like the Milky Way.
All alone. No accompanying
aide. It was you, Ike. You were
just out for a stroll.
Everybody jumped to atten
tion and saluted smartly. You
returned the salute, then grinned
and said: "At ease! The war's
over." Then you sat down on
a bench and for half an hour you
chewed the fat with that group
of GI's and one lone correspon
dent. You didn't do it for a show.
You did it because you're that
kind of a guy. I'm sure you en
joyed it more than anybody else.
Men like that are GREAT
leaders.
4 NYWAY, Ike, we're with you
to the finish, whatever it
may be.
Happy Landings!

SECOND THOUGHTS ,
IN WASHINGTON. I
The American position,
President Eisenhower declared
it in his television address on
mmmmimmmvm neanes day,
: - - a J evening is now
f i Vj markedly dif-
, i IJi ferent from
f ;r"rs what until
t t M (hon t hari ,
been sirpposed'
to be. The
terms of our
U. N. resolu
tion the reso
lution whieh
Halter Llsomuw
Britain and France vetoed
meant that Israel had committed
an illegal act, one which it had
no moral right to commit. The
inspired comment from official
quarters in Washington accused
Britain, France, and Isjrael of ag
gression. Everything pointed0to
wards a policy in which the
United States would lead the ac
cusers, perhaps by appalling eco
nomic sanctions and probably
by action in the Generaf Assem
bly. But what the President said
defined a quite different Ameri
can attitude: "As it is the .mani
fest right of any of these nations
to take such decisions and ac
tions, it is likewise our right, if
our judgment so dictates, to dis-'
sent." If it is the "manifest
right" of these nations to do
what they are doing, then, of
course, the President cannot and
will not attempt to have them
judged aggressors. What he wilf
do is to dissent, to point out
mat tne action taken can
scarcely be reconciled ith the
principles and purposes of the
United Nations." .
The policy of dissenting, hav
ing acknowledged tht they
have a "manifest right,", is a
very different thing from a
policy of leading a movement to
have them judged euiitv of ae-
gression. The President's policy"
means, tne line he laid .down
is now followed, that we shall
regard the U.N. not as a tri
bunal to judge, condemn, and
punish but as an organ to medi
ate and promota a settlement.
'T'HE President's position, which
reflects the second tloonrhts
of the Administration, is wiser
than the first dngry and unbal
anced reaction in Washington on
Monday. If the original line of
policy, which was embodied in
the Lodge resolution, had pre
vailed, we would ha've had to
go on to seek to condemn not
only Israel but Britain and
France as well, rallying the
world in partnership with the
Tribune for being well informed.
Thanks, again. . .

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
I wish to Congratulate you on
the success of .the candidates I
fair. The effort and time must
have been prodigious but I be-i
lieve it the outstanding political
event of the campaign.
I wish to -thank you for' th
opportunity afforded me to meet
such a large bipartisan group of
voters, wider by far than is
usually provided by most politi
cal gatherings.
.Also may I say that tfiis
method is most democratic and
very welcome in this day of
mounting costs of campaigniog.
Probably the most valuable
contribution was the opportun
ity for the voter to discuss issues'
with the candidates. All too
often a speech making campaign
forgets the fourth branch of gov
ernment, "the voice of the Peo
ple." I have mailed this letter to
the editor of the Mail Tribune
believing it may express the sin
cere gratitude of the other can
didates also.

Epidemics Cost, Too
To the Editor, and the Peojle
of the Berrydale District: We of
this district have received in the
mail a circular which was, to
my way of thinking, very mis
leading. The need we have, in
this district is not a thing to be
planned for some obscure time.
The need is NOW!
I would like to bring to the
people of the district a few points
on which to ponder. Do you
know that all of the drainage
from the worst part of the area
is at the present time draining
under the school grounds where
our children go to school? Do
you also know that if the drain
stops up or is not large enough
to carry this -drainage away fast
enough, this filth pours onto the
school grounds for our children
to play in? Do jnou also know
that the road ditches where
small fry 1 o v e 'to sail their
boats are full of sewage?
It is true that our taxes will
go up. We all know that vSs,
the people, pay for any improve
ment that we get. We can get an
estimate on our taxes, and be
Tomoffow
Lipprntm
Soviet Union against teem. This
would have made our preamt
differences, which ai not-noiar,
radical, into an irjpparajile con
flict. What, taking the situation as
e now'iisd it, is theGAmei'Sian
interest? In te first fcteceto
refrain from moral judgment.
If we do not, we shall find oifi
eles rguing that Naser is
not an aggressor when heerosses
his fron'er, hich he is been
doing several timea week pro
vided "only that he uses small
forces every time he crosses thaj
frontier. The true friends of the
Ufiited Natifiis will reccSfciize
that Nasser by his raids ? Is
rael, his intervention in North
Africae bv his intrigues in Jor
dan nd Syria, has created prob
lem of i!curity which the
United Natio$ have not been
able to solve. It would be a
i mortal blow to the United Na
tions if it transpired that the
practical effect) of its operation
was to invc? an aggressor like
Nasser wi', nmunity.
Therefore, in the interests of
the oUnited Nations, which is
also a vital interest of the United
States, let us insist that it be
an organ fft- the solution of the
problems of Suez and Palestine
and not a tribunal of judgment
THE Franco-British action will
be judged by the outcome
in the f irsP instancVrhether the
njilitary objectives are achieved
in a reasonable time and at not
tooo great a cos. If they are not
achie3d the decision will have
been a gigantic blunder which
may weir have catastrophic con
sequences. The American inter
est though owe have dissented
from tl decision itself , is that
France and Great Britain should
now surg-eed. However much we
may wish they had ng(. started,
we cannK nowQwish that they
should fail.
If their acUon is successful,
then the stanuard by which it
will be judged is how states
manlike is the settlement-which
they proposeP I assume, or at
least I hope we have a right to
assume, that London and Paris
have no illusions that they can
restore the old Suez Company,
or something like it under an
other name. The moral credit of
Britain and France, which is
now shaken, can be repaired if
they use vith great imagination
and magnanimity the power in
the Middle East that they are
now fighting to gain.
Then the surgical operation,
though poinful, will have been
justified.
