ROBERTS NOTES ON MY CUFF 7 HE American people have given their approval of the ''New Deal" promised by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. From Maine to California; from Canada to the Gulf, everywhere, came the voice of protest against President Hoover's final appeal that the Administration be permitted to carry on. Not since the days of Jcff-: erson in 1804 was there such a terrific electoral vote piled up for a Democratic candidate.

In fact, Mr. Roosevelt received the greatest number of electoral votes ever accorded a president of the United States. We 'all know the power of a smile. We sing "Smiles" at club meetings, and write poetry about the power of a smile, but never before has the American people had it -brought borne to them more forcibly than yesterday that the power of a smile can win the highest office in the land. A determined citizenry of the U.S.A.

stamped their ballot for the candidate who literally smiled his way into the White House. Even those who have been the most active against the New York Governor's election, have graciously come forward this morning and seem happy in their statements that they are back of Mr. Roosevelt a 100. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a great American; we hope and trust that his election will be a great boon to prosperity and the. re-establishment of confidence.

People 'are sick and tired of promises without action, and no greater opportunity ever fell to man to serve humanity than has come to Mr. Roosevelt. What will the" president-el-: ect do? What will Mr. Hoover It has been suggested that the President ask for resignation of Secretary of State Stimson, and immediately ap-." point Mr. Roosevelt to that position.

Then he and Mr. Curtis immediately resign as president and vice-president, which would: automatically make Mr. Roosevelt president. If this were done, the President-elect could start his program of reconstruction im- mediately, and there would be no farther delays. In California the people have returned to Washington a great statesman, William Gibbs MsAdoo a diplomat, a 1 thoroughly trained lawyer, a successful business man, a former member of President Wilson's cabinet.

He has a clean record. He will be backed in Congress from this district by Charles J. Coldcn who is well known for his political experience in Harbor affairs, and who won easily over his op- ponent, Chic Henning, pres- ent councilman from the Fifteenth District. With conservatives and dry leaders over the state the repeal of the Wright Act is taken as a warning that California will be in the same chaotic state that Nevada finds itself today. J-, One more significant outcome of the election in California was the wholesale turn-down the Republican party gave their senatorial candidate in favor of the Democratic nominee, and also placing the militant and fighting Bob Shuler in third place for United States Senator.

Portia no other sinsrle speaker rolled up so many votes for Mr. Roosevelt as did the Fighting Senator Hiram Johnson, who bolted the Republican party for the Dem-ocratic nominee. A very small percentage of Republicans voted a straight ticket, which is indicated in the enormous vote piled up for Roosevelt and other J)em-' ocratic candidates from Gov- rnnra Anwn in' Awmhtvmpn an over me uniiea states.
