 Roosevelt Popularity
 The election gave our party one of the largest representations 1t ever had---approxiinately the same as came in with Roosevelt in 1882 The federal administration was stis- tained by more than 50O,OOO major ity, which ought to be sufficient an- swer to the question of continued | popularity of Franklin D. Roose- velt."

 President Unw0rried
 Hyde Park, N. r., Nov. 6-(UP . Close friends today represented
 President Roosevelt as being entire . ly unworried by the democratic de- f feat in his home state. They point F ed out that the state assembly nor- 2 mally is republican and that with . the exception of this year the re- 3 publicans have controlled it without l Interruption for A years. l There was some quiet rejoicing
 among followers of the president over what they regarded as strong democratic showing in upstate New York which normally is heavily re- publican. They said the sig of the . democratic vote indicated that in 8 3 state wide election the republicans would be unable to even approach the majority needed to overcome the certain democratic majority in New York city.
 , MT. Roosevelt, while refraining , from comment pending a study of ! complete figures, was believed i. pleased with party showing in Phil adelphia where republican mayor |, atty candidate came through by 8 comparatively small margin in view of the size of g.op. majorities of . other years.
 One Great Pleasure MT. Roosevelt seemed to derive . his greatest pleasure from the vic- tory of Elmer Van Wagenen who !, surprised everyone, including him. !, self, by winning the Supervisorship on the democratic ticket in rock
 ribbed republican Hyde Park. The victory brought forth an old- ? fashioned parade with red fire and torchlights and a speech by the president when voters marched on his homel ast night in celebration. ' Van Wagenen, who stood beside T MT. Roosevelt on the front porch U of the latter's home, was inarticu- late. The president beamed and
 with great effort composed himself
 sufficiently to make an address. In . pointing out that for a quarter of a century he had fought for good town government, the president turned to the successful candidate t and hailed him as champion of g that cause. He recalled that the : Van Wagenens were old Duchess g county settlers and remarked: l "Blood will tell"
 The president planned today to see Washington newspapermen and l was expected to offffer his observa- 5 tions on the elections. After that : conference he will return to routine government business in preparation , for departure tomorrow for Wash ington via New York city. i, Nearly 60O,00O More , Albany, N. Y., Nov. 6-(UP)-New York democrats piled up nearly 8 , 600,000 majority popular vote over republican opponents in yesterdays { of year" election, but lost control of the state assembly virtually com plete tabulations showed today. .
