The American people decided
in Tuesday’s election that Presi
dent Roosevelt should head the
nation for a precedent-shatterlngl
third term and re-elected him by
a smashing majority of electoral
votes, receiving 468 of 531.
As early returns came in Tues
day night it was evident that the
Roosevelt - Wallace ticket was
leading Willkie-McNary but the
margin of the popular vote ma
jority remained comparatively
clase in many key states until
later in the night when the elec-
, tion was conceded by Republican
leaders.
On the basis of Incomplete but
conclusive returns, President
Roosevelt carried 39 states to
nine for Willkie.
However, the popular vote was
closer than in any election since
1916 when President Wilson de
feated Hughes. According to in-1
com,plete returns, . President
Roosevelt had a popular vote of
about 25,000,000 to $20,000,000
for Willkie. Both figures are ex
pected to Increase materially with
thfc official count of all the na
tion’s voting.

Willkie column. The President
was credited tentatively with 468
of 531 electoral votes, with the
issue settled in all but a few
states. The popular vote, with
many ballots yet to be added to
both sides, was much closer. It
stood at 25.694,747 for Roosevelt
and 21,427.673 for Willkie.
Popular Vote Closer
Republican leaders drew much
gratification from the fact that
the President’s popular plurality
was running below his 10,000.-
000 margin of 1936. In this c
number of them, including Sena
tor Charles L. McNary, the Re-
‘ publican vice presidential nomi
nee, saw pc’tents of a Republican
victory in 194 4. The statistics in
dicated that the party’s popular
vpte this year would be the larg
est in its history. ,
But the broad geographical
sweep of the President’s victory
carried with it a Democratic gain
of a dozen or so seats in the
House. Of 35 Senate seats ai
stake 21 Democrats and nine Re
publicans had been elected, which
^against the trend—gave the
Republicans a net gain of two.
Sixteen Democrats and 13 Repub
licans were elected to guberna
torial posts, with the Democrats
ousting four Republicans and Re
publicans capturing four seats*
from Democrats. j
