For many months The Daily Tar Heel has been pub lishing the cartoons of Mr. Herbert Block of- The Washington Post. We have been publishing his work not because of its political leanings, which are obviously pro-Stevenson, but because we believe he is the finest editorial cartoonist in the country. As to our political views, we have remained silent. Now that Election Day has arrived, we feel it is our duty to reveal our own stand in the campaign. . . There are epochs in human affairs when novelty even is useful. If a general opinion prevails that the old way is bad, whether true or false, and this obstructs or relaxes the operations of the public service, a change is necessary, if it be but for the sake of change. This is exactly the case now. Tis a universal sentiment that our present system is a bad one, and that things do not go right on this account . . ." Alexander Hamilton made that statement in a letter writ ten on September 3, 1780. We agree with him. Anything Can Happen We hope this campus has something to do with whatever happens today even .if it rains. And we hope whoever happens to win will do something about what has been happening and what might happen in several areas. An editor of the magazine, Forecast, says the stars indicate victory for the Five-Star General. Physicist Albert Einstein supports Stevenson because he trusts his "integrity, judgment, and intelligence." Dorothy Parker thinks there are others besides Katie Hepburn who have run the gamut from A to B. She will vote for Eisenhower "against Truman and Trumanism." Investigator-In-Chief Joe McCarthy says Stevenson's in the Red, that Eisenhower will be the new Commander-in-Chief. - A psychology professor says Stevenson will win because he's an introvert, the type Americans favor in times of crisis. We're not making any predictions except to say that we don't need an introvert or an extrovert. We need an expert. DON'T BE REMOTE WITH YOUR VOTE THE H ad Words For It Someone (he has. understandably, asked that his name be kept secret, but he can be found in a certain dilapidated bookshop hereabouts) has said "From Homer to the Acropolis, the Greeks were topodopolis." While deploring the levity, your friend? in the Intimate Bookshop find themselves in hearty accord with this sentiment. Our supply of Loeb Classics is as complete as their somewhat eratic publishing schedule will al low. When we go out to buy old books, we keep our eyes peeled for old books in Greek. Among the books in English which many of our customers al so speak you'll find such books as Livingstone's "Legacy of Greece," Taylor's "Socrates," Hamiltons "The Greek Way" and Whatever your interest, the big broad stock of The Intimate Bookshop has a book for you!

The hopes and hearts and faith of half a nation, rest with either candidate. Tomorrow will be for many a day of elation; for almost an equal number, it" will be a day of depression. But for alL tomorrow "will be welcome, for the tension and partisanship of an intense campaign will be- gin to melt away and the na tion will soon unite behind its-' new president. The winning candidate and party will gird itself to face the complex pro blems of tomorrow. The loser will resolve itself to help face those same problems and will exercise a close check on the victorious party. Election day, U. S. A It could be exceedingly close; it could be won by a landslide. A few key votes in a few key states could swing the pendulum either way. Each party exudes confidence and privately prays it will be knighted by the fortuitous touch. There is a certain tense ness that only the closing days of an American presidential ccam paign can effect. So many elec tions have been won, it seems, by a single chance remark "Rum Romanism, and Rebellion") or an unthinking act (a slight of a governor of a key state) which changed the course of the en tire election. The press points out that had 62,000 votes been cast differently in a certain six states in 1948 the election would have gone the other way. Less than that number of votes could turn a close result into a land slide this time. Many states are doubtful, very few seem sure. Our own state might feel the disaffection that so many have endeavored to stimulate. The importance of every vote is in creasingly evident. For many the choice of can didates and party have been most difficult. They haye seen in Dwight D. Eisenhower the greatest general of our times, a man of integrity and personal magnetism who commands the admiration and respect of all our people. They have seen him win the battles of a world war and unify Europe in behalf of the free world. They believe that his lack of 'experience in domestic policy and problems will be compensated for by his personal integrity, popularity and by the confidence that mil lions repose in him. Many were saddened by his endorsement of all the elements of his party, but believe that it was the only course dictated by political ex pediency, and that if he is elected he will divorce himself from those men. Americans can find in Eisenhower a military stateman whose call for civil leadership is being determined today. The inspiring moral and in tellectual courage of Adlai E. Stevenson have won for him the devotion of millions of Americans who look for great leaders in trying times. With an impeccable record of statesman ship .and dedication to public service, this man symbolizes the very best qualities which Jeffer son would call to execute leadership. His experience with the Departments jof Agriculture, Navy and State, and his record as governor of Illinois are ad mired and respected by Demo crats and Republicans alike. His perspective is both Jeffer sonian , anif Lincolnian; his methods are strongly remniscent of Woodrow Wilson. Americans can find in Adlai Stevenson an experienced leader of strong moral and mental force who has dedicated his life to the service of all the people. Great men, true, but it is then party which tempers their greatness and determines their course of action. The Democra tic party stands upon its twenty years of progress, of a deter mined effort to meet twentieth century problems with twen tieth century solutions in the quest for social justice for free men everywhere. The Republi- , can party demands that it is time for a change, that it is best equipped to meet the problems of the day, and that it can re duce spending and bureaucracy in the process. The parties are not static, and between the two drift many who try to reconcile their beliefs as they contemplate an era of change. . - "Let's See, Now-3 And 3 Is 1 2, And 4 IPC V1 H f t The Washington! Merry - WASHINGTON As one of the hottest presidential cam paigns in years comes to a close, here is the confidential survey prepared for General Eisen hower, Governor Dewey, and the tP echelon of the Repub lican party. It shows the Re publicans confident of winning 213 "certain" electoral votes, plus 128 "probable" votes, or a total of 341. It requires 266 to win. The GOP survey puts the two key states of New York and California in the "probable" column, though the Democrats claim they .wiU, carry both. Illinois, Stevenson's home state, is placed in the "certain" GOP column, while Massachusetts is placed in the "possible" column. The border states of Ken tucky, West Virginia and Okla homa are conceded to the Demo crats, according to the secret GOP survey, though Maryland is chalked up as "certain" for the Republicans. Another bor der state, Tennessee, is marked "not too hopeful" though Miss ouri, home state of President Truman, is listed as "probable" for the GOP. Texas, on the other hand, where Ike spent so much time and effort is conceded to the Democrats. Michigan, though considered "probable," is listed as "slipping during the past week," while Minnesota, also listed as "probable," carries the notation "removed from sure column because of effectiveness of Democratic speaking cam paigns" in Minnesota." Truman, Kefauver and Sparkman, be sides Stevenson, have toured Minnesota recently. Massachusetts is marked with the notation: "Even if Lodge beaten, it's hoped Ike will run enough ahead of ticket to win." This refers to Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., who has a tough race against Congressman Jack Ken (T &Jxrft&MPS I l ueesyouAu-wT m pint hasl V that's ece&rzH Ay can- f common i'v- NEISHPOBS AN') TO IT OUT AN'- 9 X AU-YO'6PgCH.)

While President Truman was escorting his new-found friend, John L. Lewis, on a personal tour of the White House the other night, he let drop the fol lowing: "Did you realize, John, that if the Republicans should be elected and Taft should die, Eisenhower would be presi dent?" Harry Moses, representing the coal operators, who was with the two men, did not join in the en suing laughter. Is 1 3-" mm irk, Z 0 icC JJJ OA Go - Round Mr. Truman's wisecrack fol lowed a relatively brief but ex tremely important conference, the results of which are the sub ject of further negotiations probably resulting in an in crease in the eventual cost of coal. Those who attend the White House meeting insist that there was no deal between Truman and Lewis to increase wages. Harry Moses of the operators was with them throughout. As far as can be ascertained, here is a play-by-play account of what happened. David Cole, the federal med iator, opened the meeting with a plea that the Wage Stabili zation Board, which ruled against the $1.90 wage increase, had overlooked certain facts and had been unfair to the miners. Cole pointed out that the miner worked only 200 days a year, had no fringe benefits such as paid holidays or paid vacation; and finally that they had greatly increased produc tion. The bureau of labor sta tistics, he pointed out, showed that production had been in creased 14 per cent in two years, that the industry was at its highest peak, and that this was a tribute to John L. Lewis and the operators for pushing mech anization. Cole also dwelt upon the ha zards of mining and the heavy accident rate in the mines. The President then turned to Harry Moses. "Let's hear from the operators," he said. Moses, who represents H. C. Frick & Co. and some of the biggest mines in the nation, said that the miners and mine opera tors had been working for several months to draw up a contract and that their agree ment was an excellent example of free and open bargaining. He said they had dismissed fringe Express Yourself Editor: Spring has sprung, and fall has fell, Fall Germans are com ing, and we're disgusted as Hell! Our complaint is as follows: Wanted: dates for seven hun dred U.N.C. Coeds for the Ger mans week-end! It's a bad situation when 50 of the coeds on a campus where they're outnumbered five to one find it impossible to obtain dates for one of the biggest week-ends of the year. It appears to us that practically every girl involved in this issue, imports as well as coeds, would be insulted if she thought through the facts. It has been admitted that the main objection the boys have against dating coeds on big week-ends is that they can't drink in the frat houses. Some of the frater nities are even going as far as closing their doors on the coeds next week-end. As for the in sult an import should be in sulted because she is invited so her date can take her to his frat house and get sloppy drunk: the coeds should be insulted because the boys don't respect them enough to date them and will ingly adhere to the coed restric tions. There is nothing the coeds can do about the rules of this in stitution, and the boys are truly showing how weak their con stitutions are by not being will ing to help them comply with these rules. Oh well, there's still a chance for us to get in on the show perhaps Mr. Spivak will be kind enough to play Lonesome Gal and dedicate it to the coeds that night. Surely he'll play Come Onna My House for the imports. Names Withheld By Request benefits because Lewis didn't want them. He preferred cash, instead. The steelworkers and other labor groups, he argued, had received fringe benefits which were the equivalent of the 40 cents the wage board had de nied the miners. John L. was then called upon. He gave a brief sermon on eco nomic production, pointing out that the U. S. is the greatest coal producer in the world and the American miner the most efficient. He produces IVz tons per man daily compared with the British production of 1 ton per man per day. "Britain can't mine enough coal to heat itself well, let alone the rest of Europe," opined Lewis. "We can supply the world, all as a result of our genius and know-how." Lewis went on to say that some of his men will not live long enough to get fringe bene fits and they would rather have their cash now. "Four miners are killed every day in the year," said Lewis. "There were more paraplegics resulting from coal-mine acci dents during the war than there were from combat action." Moses produced a ZVz page memo giving new evidence on wages,, and handed it to Econo mic Stabilizer Roger Putnam, who will probably make the final decision on wages. "I don't know what the re sults of our analysis will show, Mr. President," Putnam said. "I only ask that you get it as quickly as possible," replied Truman. i
