LESLIE PECK, laborer-- Roosevelt has done a good job up to the present in the way ht has handled the affairs of the country I am glad that he will sit in the White House, for another term.

In the surge- toward President Roosevelt party which had stood since the birth of the Republican party were uprooted and powerful majorities were returned to both Houses Congress, State tabulations still were incomplete but on the basis at the mounting totals, 1 tile Republican presidential nominee had just eight reasonably certain electoral votes.

there are at least three deserving brows nround Democratic headquarters. Now it can be told, because It is now th tellins, that middle-aged political icians considered the strategy of the iocratic campaign the best they have ever seen. The main- technical theme was to drive home the point that any- ofte -who opposed" President Roosevelt was an economic royalist or plutocrat a luster or power or at least someone who was highly undesirable. ex- rent-to- the point was driven home evident in the results. From the technical standpoint also, the secondary purpose of the campaign was to get Mr.

Roosevelt re-elected without burdening him with specific promises. As a matter of established fact, the campaign ended without an official record of any annoying promises, including a specific balanced budget, monetary stabilization, curtailment of expenditures, NRA, constitutional amendments, silver, expansion of cooperatives, or what'not! In connection with all these and other issues, the President left himself full freedom of action. In addition, his campaign directors drew votes from factions as -far apart as adversaries can be.
