A GREAT VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

Again sound American principles have been vim dicated at the polls Franklin Delano Roosevelt has reelected President of the United States with the greatest majority given candidate for the highest office in the land The voters of 46 states have rallied whoe-heartedly to his support. giving him 523 electoral votes against but two states with electoral votes for his opponent It is handsome victory.
 But it is more than just victory. It is affirmation faith and confidence in the principles of Americanism. The citizens of this nation again have demonstrated their ability to rule themselves so that every person shall have the rights and privileges which his under our form of government.
 The overwhelming vote of confidence in the policies of the President reveal pronounced swing toward liberalism This election not much battle between the Democrats and Republicans but rather contrast between the rank and file of the American people and small group of ultra conser vatves reactionares. To say it is victory for liberal thought conservative thought not wholly true While it is that to degree, the battle the returns plainly reveal was made by the ultra con- servatves those who would have gone back to the system that brought about those unbearable conditions under which the nation found itself four years ago when MT. Roosevelt was elected for his first term. Even the leader named to carry the banner of this group against the interests of the common people was not actually of them It is only fair to say that until he chosen at Cleveland, Governor Landon was a strong supporter Governor of Kansas, of New Deal measures. That in itself was unfor- tunate move for the ultra conservative group for American people knew the Landon record, and they knew there consistency in man who had strongly endorsed New Deal measures suddenly de- nouncing them
 Not only was the President given roaring vote of confidence but the Democratic party candidate for the Congress and for various state offices swept to victory The avalanche of votes was even greater than in 1892 when MT. Hoover carried six states. And the remarkable results carry with them grave responsibility for the elected officials and

 Fanny Brice, one of the rare na- tives:
 That's right. Neighborliness has seemed to disappear somewhere. Certainly all the warmth went out of show business when vaudeville folded up. Our neighborhood used to be the corner of filth and Broad way. All the actors gathered around there and swaped gags.
 That went with vaudeville. Now there isn't even Friars' Club any where. You don't see new stars de- veloping. Maybe there won't even be actors pretty soon.'
 Same Here
 Most of New York's important politicians are bit chary of far ing as a sort of tail to Jimmy Wal kers kite, even when he merely ex- presses his homesickness for the good old days in the course of public remarks. But privately they feel the same.
 The big traffic cop on the corner of Madison and 44th added one idea.
 Say he said, even the gangs are all gone. We used to have the Five Points to worry about, and the 'Hell's Kitchen mobs-but no more. Repeal busted up even the polite gangs. Police work never used to be this dull"
 And then for some. there still doesn't have to be any reasoning about it. if Jimmy Walker said it.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1886.
 Unfriendly stars rule today, &C., cording to astrology. It is time to be exceedingly cautious in whatever pertains to future business or pro- fessional matters.
 Women will be wise to attend strictly to home affairs while this configuration prevails. Those who expect rewards for important poli- tical service will do well to attend to their knitting.
 Discomfort and unrest among the workers may be accentuated at this time when agitation on the part of radicals will be encouraged greatly by increase of leftist Sympathiz- CTS.
 This is not a fortunate sway for certain editors and publishers who may meet criticism and opposition on the part of persons of authority in Washington.
 It is not lucky day for signing contracts or agreements, because uncertainties affect business and commercial relations with foreign nations.
 The planetary government favors persons who enjoy success in the professions or in politics. They should be good-natured and help ful while this rule continues. It is a good day for asking favors.
 Hard feeling and bitterness may be readily brought to the surface in human contacts today. There may be a strong tendency to justify oneself for mistakes and to be hy- persensitive to criticism.
 Persons whose plrthdate it Is have the augury of a year of veXa- tions. The young should be espec- ially careful to avoid scandals. Speculations will be unfortunate.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in their likes and dislikes Subjects of this sign usually are clever writers or speak CTS.
