BIGGEST VOTE IN
NATION S HISTORY
STATE GIVES BIG MAJORITY
Voters Rally to Polls Early And Cast
Big Vote For State, County And
Township Offices ? Results Brings
National Unity And World Favor
Every detail of Tuesday's election in Franklin
% County possed off smoothly with one of the biggest votes
ever cast here in a general election. With the exception
of a few variations the voting was a straight ticket
throughout the eleven precincts and the best of order
and feelings prevailed. The tabulated returns can be
found in another column.
Hyde Park, N. Y.. Nov. 6. ?
President Roosevelt, ignoring the
historic implications of his prece
dent smashing third term victory,
today hinted that the real "story"
iu America's decision is the ur
gency of a labor peace.
A century and a hall of Ameri
can precedent- collapsed as a surge
of votes swept Mr. Roosevelt and
the New Deal hack into power for
four more years.
But Mr. Roosevelt indicated
that what is to happen in the fu
ture to the millions of men and
women who labor is more impor
tant than the fact his reelection
terminated a tradition as old as
the republic.
Mr. Roosevelt offered the first'
clue as to what the New Deal may
do after acknowledging a tele
gram of congratulation from Wen
dell L. Wilkie, whom he defeated.
It was the first time since the
campaign began that Mr. Roose
velt had used VVilkie's name, and
the telegraiiis exchanged between
the victor and defeated candidate
were noticeable cool and restrain
ed.
Willkie telegraphed "congratu
lations on your re-election." add
ing "I know that we are both
gratified that so many 'American
citizens participated in the elec
tion. 1 wish you all personal
health and happiness."
Mr. Roosevelt replied:
"Please accept my sincere
thanks for your message of con
gratulation. I greatly appreciate
the assurance of your good wishes
for my health and happiness
which I heartily reciprocate."
8TATK
President Roosevelt and Gover
nor-elect J. Melville Broughton
pyramided record-shattering ma
jorities in the State in Tuesday's
eiectiion, an analysis of stil-lncom
plete returns yesterday showed.
A trickle of returns yesterday
only served to increase the ma
jorities tor President, all Demo
cratic congressional candidates
and all Democratic candidates for
State offices. Whether the total
vote would reach the record 839,
424 set in the Presidential elec
tion four years ago was in grave
doubt), however, as returns from
1,749 of the 1,916 precincts, about
91 per cent, showed a total of
767,626.
The Presidential vote from
1,749 precincts was: Roosevelt
, 67 4,924 and WUllcle 182,702, giv
ing Roosevelt a majority of 392,
l 222. That) majority compares with
the record-ljreaklng margin of
392,868 be received four years
ago and assures him of setting
another record in this State this
year.
Record for Governor
With 1,478 of the 1,916'pre
uincts reporting, about* 76 per
cent, the gubernatorial vote was:
Broughton 480.085 and Robert
li. McNeill of State8Ville. the
Republican candidate. 137,973.
That votie total was 618. 068 and
Broughton's majority was 342,
112.
The record vote for the gover
norship was in 1936, when 812,
982 rotes were cast. Governor
Hoey received a majority of only
271,296 over Gilliam Grissom
that year, however, and the pre
vious record gubernatorial ma
jority Of ?86,096 was received by
J. C. B. Ehringhaus In 1932, when
a total of 710,218 votes was cast.
Broughton's majority of 342,
112. with only 76 per cent of the
precincts reported, already has
set a new record by a 67,000-vote
margin. His majority may near
the 400,000 mark. ,
UNITY
i A trend toward national unity
Manifested itself yesterday as the
aftermath ol' the bitter, turbulent
campaign which resulted in Presi
dent Roosevelt's election to serve
a tradition-smashing third term
as the nation's Chief Executive.
It was evident' iu the editorials
of newspapers which had strongly
supported Wendell L. Willkle, the
defeated Republican nominee,, in
the statements of many of the
country's leading men. in the
usual exchange of messuges be
tween victor and vanquished and
in a radio address made by Will
kie early in the day.
Mr. Roosevelt, the winner and
still "The Champ," was in by ,
another sweep of the electoral
college Nine States remained in
the Willkie column. The Presi
dent was credited tentatively with
468 of 531 electoral votes, with
the issue settled in all but a few
states. The popular vote, wioh
many ballots yet to be added to
both sides, was much closer. It
stood at 25.163.547 for Roosevelt
and 20,999,249 for Willkie.
Republican leaders drew much
gratification from the fact that
the President's popular plurality
was running far below his 10,
000,000 margin of 1936. In this
a number of them, including Sen
ator Charles L. McNary, the Re
publican Vice-Presidential nom
inee. saw portents of a Republican
victory in 1944. The stat'istics in
dicated that the party's popular
vote this year would be the larg
est in its history.
TltE WORLD
Around the world last night,
from the upper reaches of the
Yangtze to Tokyo, London, Berlin
and Rome the reelection of Presi
dent Roosevelt' evoked reaction
ranging from totalitarian indif
ference to British gratification
and Chinese Jubilation.
Japan took the occasion to urge
upon Mr. Roosevelt* a "reorienta
tion" of the United States' Far
Eastern policy.
Berlin and Rome professed no
surprise at the result nor any
disappointment, expressing the
view Ohat as between Democratic
and Republican policy on aid to
Britain short of war they had no
preference; that the election was
none of their business, anywajr.
Not so im London; even less I
so in Chungking.
The British press saw the re- ,
suit' as a sign of a turning world
tide against totalitarianism.
. . The blackest day Berlin
has known since the beginning of
the war," declared the London
Evening Standard as part of the
?plash which tihe Roosevelt suc
cess made In the British press.
Chinese lo the central govern
ment capital at Chungking throng
ed the streets and cheered thd
news Ohat Roosevelt had won,
and Finance Minister H. H. Kung
gave a party in honor of United
States Ambassador Nelson T.
Johnson.
The Chinese had favored the .
third term primarily because they I
believed that the next few months !
would be critical in the Far East
and that a change of Presidents
would have delayed the American
action In the Pacific Ocean which
China anticipated.

RED CROSS
Terming the first aid training |
of American** an important ele
ment of peacetime .preparedness,
Dr. A. Paul Bagby, chairman of
the Louisburg Red Cross chapter,
today called attention to the ex
panding First Aid program of the
American R^d Cross and asked
for a greatly increased member
ship enrollment of the people of
Franklin County during t'he an
nual Koll Call, to be held Novem
ber 11 to 110.
"This volunteer army of men,
women, boys and girls, trained by
the Ited Cross to render first aid
in any emergency, already num- ?
bers more than two and a quar
ter million and is increasing at a
tremendous rate," Or. Bagby j
said.
"During the 25-year period
from 1910 to 1935," he pointed
out, "|he Red Cross gave first aid
instruction to a million persons.
Training of the second million
was completed within t'he next
four years. Within the 12 months
ending June 30 of this year the
number trained and certified by
the Red Cross in first aid was
380,000, and the lute is sWll in
creasing."
Dr. Bagby explained that the
Red Cross stepped up its First
Aid activity in 1935 to cope Willi i
the growing national menace of
accidental death and Injury.
"At that timej" he said, "acci
dents were taking a loll of well,
over I UO.OOO lives a year and
more than 10. 000. 000 ' maimed'
and injured. An important con-!
wibuting factor was the rising
tide of traffic accidehts. and the
Ited Cross broadened its First Aid
program to include the training
of personnel and the approval of
equipment for a system of High
way First Aid stations and First
Aid Mobile units throughout ihe
count ry.
"This Highway First Aid pro
gram." he said, "has so clearly
demonstrated its worth and found
such favor with the medical pro-,
fession and t'he public that its
growth lins added considerably to
the demand for the Ited Cross
First Aid training. There are
now nearly 6.000 of these high
way statons and mobile units
from coast to coast, and t'hejr are
increasing daily.
"lint this is only a small part."
he added, "of the total effort
which includes the training of j
fireman, policemen, factory and j
office employees, farmers, CCC j
and VVPA workers. Coast' Guard
members, high school and college
students, and thousands of civil- 1
iatis in every walk of life.
"Records of Industrial firms
show that the firs! aid training of
employee* not only results in a
marked decrease in lost time due
to accidents but that first aid
trained employees meet with far
fewer accidents than those who
have not had the benefit of such
training.
"Undoubtedly," he said.-, "the
same situation prevails in every |
line of activity and regardless of!
whether the individual is in his
home, at work or at play. It is j
not too much to say that t'his
vast army of first aid- trainees
are not only contributing greatly
to t'he reduction of accidental
death and injury but are well
qualified to cope with any acci
dent emergency, which is a fac
tor of great importance in these
days of einphnsis on peacetime
preparedness."
