"A Review of the Election
New Governors of States

THERE was an election held in
the United States OF America
the other day. You may have
heard of it.. 1t may not have
attracted much attention in Mars or
the Milky way. but it certainly made
some dent in this planet. 1t was a
mixture Of landslide, Armageddon, the
judgment day and political earth
quake. An elephant and bull moose
were buried somewhere in the debris.
and donkey and Democratic rooster
emerged from the ruins making joyful
sounds. But to get down to cases:
In this election there were chosen a
president and vice president Of the
United States, legislatures to choose
thirty-five members of the United
States senate, determining the politi-
cal complexion of that body. 435 men,
bers of the national house of repre-
sentatives. governors in ~ more than
thirty states and thousands of minor
officials. In the electoral college the
Democrats have so many votes that it
seems shame to count them. The
senate is close, but the Democrats are
claiming at least fifty votes out Of
ninety-six, with some states yet doubt
full. The house is Democratic by near
~ 40 majority. while the Democrats
have likewise chosen a majority of the
governors

what he can to-save his own political

exhibition of trimmer. He first
wandered into the Roosevelt camp

doing this he was following the pub.

when the split came and he was COLI
