Vatican City, Dec. 24.-(R)-1n a
Christmas message to the world Sat-
uiday, Pope Plus XXI announced q
years Jubilee" observance of the 10th
centenary Of Christs passion, death
and resurrection to begin April q,
1893.
The Pope replied to greetings from
the score Of cardinals of the curia,
representing cardinals and bishops
throughout the world, gathered in the
consistory hall.
Following an ancient custom, the
Pope enumerated his joys and sor-
rows of the last year. Listed among
joys were the spread Of missions,
Catholic action and success, and the
eucharistic congress.
Among his sorrows listed were 1.-The
very sad conditions" in Russia, Mexi-
co and Spain.
Sends Christmas Wishes
The Pope sent best Christmas wishes
and prayers for peace, tranquility,
mutual confidence, friendly relations,
greater assistance wherever were the
greatest needs, sufficient remunera-
tive work, and less unfavorable and
uncertain general conditions of life."
This was expressed particularly at
q moment when, he said, there were
80 many divisions and conflicts
among peoples and states, not exclud-
ing the horrors of war and civil war
and the consequent continuance and
worsening of universal financial and
economic crisis without precedent In
history"
"Sufferings of the poor working
classes are most felt and painful and
for this reason they are the most
needy and deserving Of help, of social
justice and of Christian charity" he
said.
Announcing the Holy Year. the Pope
said, this dutiful and beneficent OBJ
servance is desired by many persons.
1T will be no light benefit that the
world should not hear or speak Of
conflicts, differences, lack of conf
dence, ornaments, disarmaments,
damages, PREPARATIONS, debts payments,
insolvencies, economic
and financial interests or Of indivi-
dual miseries," he said.
Forget Sad Comment
LET the world no longer hear only
those notes, but instead those Of high
spirituality and strong appeal to life
and the interests Of the SOULS" the
Pope added.
He made the observance for a full
year so it might have "the greatest
possible value through prayer, ex-
piation, Precipitation, holy indulgences
and reform Of life."
"Of all this our days have particu-
lar need in the midst Of so many trib-
ulations, so much forgetfulness Of
pervades life, such pursuit Of plea.
sure by the worldly and of money
Eternity, 50 much paganism which
which Is so much abused" he said.
The Pope invited to the observance
from this moment all those redeemed
In the blood Of Jesus Christ, blood
which the Catholic church, she alone,
preserves uncorruptible, and uncor-
rupted."

Washington, Dec. 24.-The largest
vote in the nations history was cast
in the November presidential cleo
tion-39, 734,351.
With this record were established
three others. Franklin D. Roosevelt
received the highest popular and
electoral votes ever given a winning
candidate and President Hoover
polled the largest popular vote ever
cast for loser.
Here's the way the votes were dis
tributed:
Roosevelt ........... 22,813,786
Hoover .............. 15,759,266
OtherS .............. 1,l61 ,299
Final returns as certified by state
officials and compiled by the Asso-
ciated Press Saturday showed the

previous record of 36,798, $50 in 1928,
to have increased 2,935,682, or 70 per
cent.
The 1892 total was only 186,094 less
than the Associated Press estimate of
the vote based on registration fig
ures prior to the election.
Roosevelt's plurality was 7,O54,520.
This exceeds Hoovers plurality of
6,423,612 over Alfred E. Smith four
years ago, but fell short of the rec
ord plurality of 7,338,513 polled by
Calvin Coolidge over John w. Davis
in 1924.
Roosevelt's total was more than
the votes for all candidates combined
in any election preceding 1920. The
previous high for a winning candi-
date was Hoover's 21,429,10 four
years ago.
Hoover's 1882 total of 1879 ,266
compared with Smiths 15,Ol6,443 in
1928, which was the previous record
for loser.
Roosevelt's percentage of the total
vote was SIS; Hoover's 1916, and mi
nor parties 80. Smith in 1928 polled
41.2 per cent of the total vote.
Roosevelt carried AZ states as
against 40 by Hoover In 1928 and 81
by Coolidge in 1924. His electoral
vote was 472 as against Hoover's So,
the latter coming from Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire.
Pennsylvania and Vermont. Four
years ago Hoover had 444 and Smith
81.
Roosevelt polled more than a mil
lion votes each in six states-Cali-
fornia, Illinois, Missouri, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Hoover passed the million mark in
four states-Illinois, New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
The minor party vote more than
tripled that Of 1928. Norman Thomas,
the Socialist candidate for president,
led the field with 1871 951, which COM
pared with his 267,835 four years ago
and nearly equaled the record for a
Socialist candidate-919, 799 for Eu-
gene Debs in 1920.
The 77,528 vote polled by william
D. Upshaw as the Prohibition party
candidate was the largest given this
ticket since the first election after
