Hoover made in closing days

osevelt was leading in states which

Spectacular Campaign
Thus for the fifth time since the
vil War a Democratic candidate
s claimed the occupation of the
hite House, and the campaign in
linh he had a majority of the
Teaks" was one of the most tense
American political history. For
ore than two weeks the feeling
it Roosevelt would win has spurred
ministration leaders to a desper;
and futile attempt to try to stem
; tide of a revolting populace, and
mocratic orators have preached
} doctrine of discontent and new
jmoroic policies from a thousand
imps.
McADOO WINS
William C. McArioo, Democrat, was
