The indicated enormous margin
of Roosevelt victory aroused quick
speculation today how the presi-
dent would interpret his fresh
mandate and whether he would
move now, for, amendment Of the
constitution The supreme courts
narrow interpretations Of federal
power in regulation OF laboring
conditions upset experimental New
Deal legislation and prompted Mr..
Roosevelt to protest "horse and
buggy judgment of the eonstitu-
ton. '" .r.
New Deal Democratic control Of
the house Of representatives by
more than an ample majority was
assured. Democrats have defeat
ed three Republican senator's,
thereby increasing senate strength
from 10 to .78 Of the 90 seats.
The three seats were In Delaware,
Rhode Island and New Jersey.
Mr.. Roosevelt's popular vote
was swelling by the minute as re-
turns flooded press association
wires today. There never has been
such a margin Of presidential vic
tory as that indicated - but not
automatically assured - for Mr..
Roosevelt. His popular vote was
running slightly less than 3 to

ures:
Landon-12,538,1 100.
Lemke-868,846.
