History of Nation
RIDING TO VICTORY ON THE GREATEST TIDE
WHICH HAS SWEPT THE COUNTRY SINCE
THE CIVII M AR, FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSE
VELT. GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, WAS YES
TERDAY' CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF THE UNIT
ED STATES.
DEMOCRATIC HODSeTsENATE ELECTED
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT RECEIVED 453 ELEC
TORAL VOTES TO 78 CAST FOR HERBERT
HOOVER, HIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT,
WHICH IS THE LARGEST ELECTOR
AL VOTE IN MODERN HIS
TORY OF THE NATION
Some idea of the magnitude of the victory is gained
by the fact that Governor Roosevelt carried 42 of the 48
states; ot the six carried by Mr. Hoover all but two, Idaho
and Minnesota, were in the East.
Following Governor Roosevelt on the tidal wave was
a Democratic House of Representatives and Senate, indi
cative of the sentiment, of the nation on the prohibition
question and making good the claim of the Democrats
that beer and other light beverages would be legalized by
next June.
A comparison of the Roosevelt victory may be found in the history
of the Democratic party, whose first victory was when in 1800
Jefferson and Burr were successful. In 1S04 Jefferson defeated Pickney
with 162 electoral votes. In 1816 Monroe defeated King 183 to 34 elec
toral votes, ana in 1352 Fierce defeated Scott by 254 to 42 electoral votes.
Since those formative days Democratic victories have for the most
part been by narrow margins.
The leading spokesmen of the Democratic party ascribe the victory
to (1) gradual triumph of the Democrats in local politics. (2) national
resentment of the peopie. (3) outcome of discontent causes of change.

iOSEIIELT UNABLE
WALK Till DENSE
CROWD 79 BROADCAST
* * * *
NEW YORK. Nov. P.—So dense
was the crowd in the Biltmore ho
tel where Governor Roosevelt had
a private suite of rooms that he
was unable to walk 40 feet down
the corridor to the broadcast room.
The President-elect intended to
deliver a broadcast as soon as he
was assured of the presidency. A
huge crowd in the corridor pre
vented him from making any pro
gress. He took a step forward and
a step backward and finally was
compelled to return to his room.
The broadcaster tried to follow the
Governor, but the cord attached to
the microphone would not allow
him to do so. Governor Roosevelt
feared for a time he would not be
able to return to his room, but fi
nally made it.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8,—A pre
historic pair of snow goggles dug
from a frozen grave at the North
ernmost point under the American
flag, added a whole new chapter to
the history of the human race in
the Arctic.
The goggles, of ivory with narrow
eye-slits to shut out the glare of
the sun on the snow, date back sev
eral thousand years.
The Smithsonian Institute, in
announcing the find by Janes A.
Ford at Point Barrow, said discov
ery of the goggles and other ancient j
relics, “literally turns upsidedown” j
old ideas of man’s past in the Far
North.

Hoover or Roosevelt win? That’s
a very important question for Chil

For this reason they are refusing

believe will bring much more later.
