Roosevelt's Campaign Saw
Last of Wild Election Nights

Curious in the American Political
history is the evolution Of election night
l. has developed from the unanimou,

as he rode into New York TO take the
oath of office, to the log cabin insignia
and the bitterness of the campaign of

Politics is in state Of great uncer.
iainiy. This is laid to the door of the

election night. Torch light parsdes. op-

hunch that we're going to have quite bit
to be thankful for, We're thankful in the
first place to know that we are handling
goods that we can recommend as being
quality stuff. In The second place we're
ihankful-but shucks, let's wait until
Thanksgiving to tell about it and in the
meantime we'll just keep on being thankful
just about the time every thing is nice
