(Continued from Page 1)
Reuther failed to generate mo-
mentum early in the contest.
Reuther has traveled in high
Democratic circles for the past
six years, having worked on
the late Sen. Robert Kennedy's
presidential campaign and co-
ordinated George McGovern's
Massachusetts primary organi-
zation in 1972.
Throughout t h e campaign,
Reuther attempted to hammer
away at Esch's eight-year rec-
ord in the House, particularly
trying to link him to the cur-
rent inflation and the policies
of the Nixon administration.
BUT ESCH, a moderate Re-
publican, stressed his image as
an independent voice on Capi-
tol Hill who has bucked his
party's leadership on military
snending and other important
policies.
Considered a swing regin,
the Second Congressional Dis-
trict includes Washtenaw, Mon-
roe, and parts of several other5
counties and has a constituency
that combines blue collar, pro-

fessional, and agricultural work-
ers with the highest percentage
of college students of any dis-
trict in the country.
Esch's chore in winning re-
election was made even more
difficult in 1972 when the dis-
trict was revised to include
m o r e predominantly Demo-
cratic areas.
NONETHELESS, Esch easily
defeated Marvin Stempien, a
longtime Livonia Democrat.
Esch dispatched him by just
about the same difference as Pe
dumped Reuther last night.
Clearly Reuther was hurt
badly by the difficult primary
in which he edged out Ann Ar-
bor physician Edward Pierce
by a mere 100 votes. Following
the election, Pierce asked for at
recount that stalled the Reuther
bandwagon for six weeks while
counting was completed.

ions on Proposal C - a state-
vide ballot issue to repeal the
ood and drug sales tax.
Milliken took no position on
he issue until early October,
hen he finally came out in op-
osition because the tax repeal
vould cause a $200 million reve-
ue loss for the state.
LEVIN, however, strongly
upported the ballot proposal

The governor centered his
:mpaign around the record
vhich Levin had attacked as be-
ng ineffectual. Stressing his ac-
omplishments in the areas on
ax reform, consumer protec-
on, and the environment, Milli-
en cultivated his image as an
onest politician with the in-
erests of the people at heart.
A moderate Republican, he

Human Rights Party candidate

nation of the tax on food and
drugs.
However, while Bursley advo-
cated an increase in the flat-
rate income tax, Eckstein pro-
posed a graduated form of in-I

come tax. North also advocated
a graduated income tax but
said it should be "very steep."
Bursley outspent his oppo-
nents by far, throwing nearly
$26,000 into the campaign while
Eckstein, an economics profes-
sor, and North, a University
student, spent $6,000 and $200
respectively.
