THE AMERICAN WAY
Breaking all precedents, ig
noring traditional customs, the
American people yesterday re
-dected President Roosevelt for a
third term py an overwhelming
majority.
It was a free election, in a
ire? country, by a free people.
Fifty million men and women
went quietly to their respective
polling places and registered
their votes for the candidates of
their choice. The largest vote yet
recorded in the history of the na
tion. No threat of coercion, no
display of military power, no
fear of reprisals marred the way
of the voter as he left his home,
office or workshop to exercise his
sacred right of franchise.
Never before in the history of
this Republic has a presidential
election created so much inter
est. This interest was not confin
edto the United States alone. It
was the subject of concern in
every capitol of Europe, Asia:
and the Antipodes. For weeks
■past and particularly in the clos
ing days of the contest radios;
blared forth opinions of states
men of all foreign countries as
to what might be the foreign pol
icy of this nation in the event of
a change in the national adminis-■
tration. In other words the eyes *
of the world were centered upon I
the American election.
America held its election in
true American fashion. Both con
tending forces used every con
ceivable legal argument to win
the voters to their particular
candidate. It was a strenuous
campaign. The President, due to
■the seriousness of the situation
in Europe did not travel far
afie'd from his office in Washing
ton where he is in almost hourly
■contact with his ambassadors and
emissaries abroad. Never r.main
ing more than twelve hours aw
ay from Washington, this de
prived him of visiting the mid
dle, western and southern states.
Mr. Willkie on the contrary,
had no responsibilities of public
office to demand his time or pre
vent him from visiting all sec
tions of the nation which he did
in the interest of his candidacy.
The republican candidate con
ducted a vigorous campaign thru
out the entir country closing in
New York City with the largest
aggregation of political speakers

Jack Garner Does Not Vote
UNDATED. Nov. 5 ifP) — In!
the Senate from Texas, Tom Con j
nally incumbent Democrat and j
Governor W. Lee O’Daniels Dem j
oc-rat were reelected. In the J
House all Democrats were reelect j
ed.
ever witnessed on the eve of
election.
While the Republican Party
in this campaign went before the
electorate and condemned the re
cord of the Roosevelt administra
tion as one of failure in its dom
estic policy and of inexperienced
muddling in foreign affairs; still
Mr. Willkie virtually endorsed
Mr. Roosevelt's entire program
of the last seven and one-half
years. He assured the voters that
if elected he would continue, and
enlarge the scope of the Social
Security Act so that % it would
apply to more classes of work
ers. He approved the Wages and
Hours Act; Collective bargaining
and all other measures that
would give labor a greater share
of the nation’s wealth. He promis
ed the farmers there would be
no change in the farm program
if he were elected; and he even
went as far as guaranteeing to
the users of electricity the pro
duce of the natural water pow
er of the nation in the hands of
the people.
He assured the people of the j
nation that he would continue un
limited aid to England with even
more speed than at present. He
deplored the large number of
unemployed in the nation but of
fered no remedy.
Prseident Roosevelt promised
nothing new to attract the vot
ers. He simply went before the
people and stood on his record
of achievement. And the voters
in the good old-fashioned Ameri
can way went to the polls and
registered their verdict which
was overwhelmingly in favor of ‘
carrying on under President
Roosevelt for another four y:ars.
The American people have rea i
son to be proud today that in
contrast to the conditions which
prevail in practically every coun'
try in the world with few ex-1
c ptions we are still a democracy
where a free people can exercise
their free use of the franchise
and when the contest is over the
vanquished congratulates the vie
tor as did Mr. Willkie and Mr.
McNary in their respective tele
grams to President Roosevelt
when the returns showed that
he was victorious. They not alone
congratulated him on being re
elected to the highest office in
the gift of the American people,
but each offered every possible
aid to the President to carry on
the affairs ofthe nation. This is
the true American spirit. This is
the essence of democracy. May it
ever be so with our nation.
