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.

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."
