Someone laid daily newspaper in
the window seat in the post office
lobby Wednesday morning. Naturally
many of the people who come to the
office were anxious to see the latest
election returns and hence glanced
over the headlines. Here is what they
read: Democrats pile up amazing
victory as Roosevelt captures Presi-
dency"; Roosevelt and Olson victors
in county returns; Victor remains
calm while he notes returns; Wis
consin goes Democratic by wide ma
jority''; Binding snow strikes part
of Minnesota; Roosevelt leading in
Ford's precincts; but then they ran
into some headlines that they could
not understand, as for instance: "Ol-
son triumphs in election, with lead
steadily rising; and Hoover offers
Roosevelt his best efforts; etc. BY
that time the reader began to realize
that there was something rotten in
Denmark" and then examined the
date line of the paper which read,
Duluth, Mimi, Wednesday, November
9, 1892" Most of them quietly laid
the paper down for the next fellow
to bite on.
