?MMomaBm
Raleigh, Nor. 7.?A trend toward
national unity manifested itself yes
terday as the aftermath of the bit
ter, turbulent campaign which re
sulted hi President Roosevelt's elec
tion to serve a tradition-smashing
third term as the nation's Chief Ex
ecutive. t
. It was evident in the editorals of
newspgpen which had strongly gup
ported Wendell L. Willkie, the de
feated Republican nominee, in the
statements of many of the country's
leading men, in iLa usual exchange
of massages between victor and van
quished and in a radio address made
by WUDde early ia the day.
Mr. Rooaevrit, the winner end
still "The Champ," was in by an
other sweep of the electoral college.
Nino States remained drf the Willkie
column. The President was credit
ed tentatively with 468 of 681 elec
toral 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
cbscr. It stood at 25,163,647 for
Bxmevelt and 20,999,249 for Willkie.
Republican leaden drew much
gratification from the fact that the
President's popular plurality was
running far below his . 10,000,000
margin offl9f6. In this a number of
them, inauamg Senator Charles L.
McNary, the Republican Vioa-Presi
denti&l nominee, saw portents of a
Republican victory in 1944. The sta
tistics indicated that the party's
popular vote this year would ba the
largest in its history.

85 Senate seats at stake, 21 Demo
crats' end nine Republicans had
bean elected, which?against the
trend?gave the Republicans a net
gain of two. Sixteen Democrats and
18 Republicans were elected to
gubernatorial posts, with the Demo
unts ousting fou? ^Republicans and
the Republicans capturing four
saatar from Democrats.
The National Capital, meanwhile,
was busy preparing a roaring wel
come for the President when he re
turns to town this morning. The
Washington Post started the idea
with a front-page edftoral in the
edition announcing his reelection,
and it was readily picked up by city
officials end others. The District
of Columbia National Guard was
ordered out to participate. Troops

Wttflde Concert?
Willkie, defeated after a cam
paign which gained hifn stature as
a determined, unqultting political
fighter, conceded Roosevelt's vic
tory hours after most of his "sup
porters had gives up. He sent the
President a telegram expressing his
congratulations, gratification that so
many had voted, and wishing him
"all prrtrrnsj health happiness."
r'Rlectkm Reaction on the stock
mai;iet was a telling wave which
reduced quotations on leading
shams by fl to $4 or mora. An in
cipient reversal of the trend de
veloped at one time, but failed to
carry through, although it gained a
little momentum later. Common
wealth and Southern, the public
utility ^ holding company whose
ppasldincy Willkie resigned after
his noministioB, was off half a point
