In store for him and his party.
While Governor Roosevelt was
still scanning the returns in Dem
ocratic headquarters in New
York, Mr.. Hoover bowed to fate
and sent a telegram Of congratu-
lation to his successful rival. He
congratulated the PreSidentelect
upon the opportunity for service
to the country which has been
accorded him and expressed a
desire TO be helpful.
Because the returns from the
West and F..- West were still In
complete, Governor Roosevelt
went to bed at 2 q. m. without re-
plying to the Presidents message.
The reply will be dispatched some
time today.
The pluralities by which the
Democratic ticket carried nor
malcy Republican States were
little less than astounding.
Many Of them went nationally
Democratic for the first time in
their history. In that group, for
example, was Idaho, the home Of
Senator William e. Borah, who
stayed off the stump for Hoover.
Borah campaign the State vigor-
ouSly for his Republican col

who was soundly defeated.
