ROOSEVELT PLEDGES SELF TO
ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN
AS PROMISED
H\'DE PARK, Nov. 10, —Presi
dent-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt
pledged himself to an immediate
plan for economic recovery for the
nation.
It is said consideration is now be
ing given to prospective members |
of his cabinet.
In a message yesterday, Governor
Roosevelt extended his appreciation
to the voters of the nation for
their confidence in him and that
“it is reassuring to me to know
our people do not lack confidence
as to the future. I want you all to
help me.”
Foes and friends alike sent tel
egrams to President Hoover con
gratulating him upon the courte
ous message he sent to his success
ful opponent.
Up to a late hour last night it
was estimated more than 30,000,000 |
ballots had been tabulated, and of
this number Roosevelt was given j
17,117,331 and Hoover 12,321.164.'
Roosevelt carried 42 states and
Hoover six.
Roosvelt won 427 electoral votes
and Hoover 59.
An overwhelming number of new j
governors of states. Democrats,
were victorious in the national
election.
The Wets majority will be two
thirds or more in both Houses, it
is estimated. There certainly will
a sufficient majority for modifying
the Volstead Act, at the December
session of Congress, but Hoover
may veto it.
After March 4 the country is
expected to see many Democratic j
measures, of all sorts, and probably
including a general sales tax.
Both Houses in the new Congress
will have decided Democratic maj
orities.
The Socialist party received ap
proximately 1,500,000 votes in the
general election.

WHAT THE STARS ANI) STRIPES
MEAN ON ARMISTICE DAY
Armistice Day has been decreed that it shall be kept
aiive in a symbol, from year to year, the memory of the
norror of the crudest and most devastating war ever
fought; the memory of the vast gladness that swept the
world as its nightmare came to an end; the memory of
the universal resolution that through preparedness of
mind and t^dy, and of material resources, no such infamy
should ever stain the human record again and that those
who sacrificed their lives for their country and who now
sleep in Flanders Field, and elsewhere, died not in vain.
It is necessary, therefore, that these sha.ll be sharply
and inspiringly recalled. For Armistice Day. appropriate
ceremonies have been arranged.
Here in Seward under the auspices of the American
Legion will be held the Armistice Ball and other appro
priate ceremonies; there will be the “Massing of Colors
and a review of the various military and naval organiza
tions throughout the United States and its possessions. Not
forgetting to pause, at attention, for a moment of silent
prayer for cur absent comrades and for everlasting peace.

MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION
“This year the economic emergency lends special im
portance to the annual Roll Call for membership campaign,
of the American Red Cross which will be held from Armis
tice Day to Thanksgiving, November 11-24.
“The Red Cross^is the recognized relief agency thru
out the Nation. It is chartered by Congress and accorded
the cooperation of the Federal government.
“In the unemployment crisis it has borne a great relief
responsibility, 2,276 of its 3,639 chapters giving direct aid
to neany a half-million families.
“Notwithstanding all the manifold relief calls, regular
Red Cross services such as assistance to veterans, life-sav
ing, first-aid, public health nursing, home hygiene and Ju
nior Red Cross, have been carried steadily forward.
“Our present debt of gratitude to the organization is
great. Every one who is able to take out a membership,
should do so.
“As Mayor of Seward, I, therefore, proclaim Red Cross
Roll Call, November 11-24, as a matter of prime civic duty
and urge our citizenship to lend its heartiest support.
Signed—D. C. Brownell, Mayor ”
