PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RENAMED
TO FOURTH TERM BY WIDE MARGIN
Apparently Has Won IS States,
Having Alb Electoral Votes;
Popular Vote Is Close

President Roosevelt rode tri-
umphantly into a fourth term in
the White House as the result of
a tremendous electoral vote on
Tuesday, with a mandate from
the American people to speed
victory, bring the boys home,
find them Jobs and secure the
peace of the world.
Mr. Roosevelt apparently has won
IS States having Alb electoral votes,
with only 266 necessary to win. Gov
ernor Dewey won in Is states with IFS
electoral votes The unofficial popular
vote thus far gives President Roosc-
welt 23,267,746, as against 2O,46O,O37
for Governor Dewey The popular
vote was much closer than the wide
difference in the electoral college
would suggest. On the basis of these
figures the Presidents percentage of
the total vote cast, 531S, was the low
est Of any of his four campaigns.
Indications were that this years
total vote would fall somewhat short
Of the record of 49,548,221 cast in
1910.
The president at Hyde Park, follow
ing his rc-clecton declared that "wc
have again demonstrated to the world
that democracy is d living and vital
force"
Democrats retained their majority
in the Senate and the party laid a
posscssivc hand on the House. Demo
Gratis also racked up a net gain Of
three govcrnorships They oustcd Re
rubIicans in Ohio, Massachusetts,,
Missouri, Idaho and Wahngton but
lost to the COP in Indiana and North
Dakota.
Congressional calculations showed
the Democrats had raised their House
total from PA to 234. Seven Senate
and Sc House races are still in doubt.
Maryland Democratic
President Roosevelt won Mary
lands eight electoral votes but with
the narrow margin of 1900, All but
ten Of the precincts have reported
and they give Roosevelt 295018; Mr..
Dewey 27S,469. 1t was Baltimore
City which tilted the scales in his ia
vor.
The State reelected Senator Tyd-
ings by vote of 3lS,191, as compared
to 20G,3l4 for Blanchard Randall, Re
publican opponent, with only fourteen
precincts missing.
1t was apparent that Congressman
j. Glenn BcalI, Republican candidate
seeking reelection, was successful
with a margin of some $4,000 votes in
the five counties of his District
Maryland adopted the Bond Court
plan amendment, which was declared
to be "thc greatest advance in the
functioning of our State judicial sys-
tom in the past generation"
There was no report on the outcome
of the other proposed amendments.

 Bradley Fighters, 4-3
Last Inning Rally Falls Short
By SGT. JACK BRENNAN

The Quonset Naval Air Station travelled here to Bradley Field dur ing the past week and tackled 4-3 defeat on the Bradley Field Fight CTS. With a little more heads-up playing the Fighters would never have lost this game.
 Denton "Slick" Johnson pitched the entire game for Bradley and allowed eight hits, struck out one man and walked two. Sanders, a southpaw, started on the mound for Quonset and hurled the first six in- nings before being relieved for pinch hitter in the top half of the seventh. During his turn on the hill he gave up five hits, struck out two and walked three. Hegwood pitched the seventh and eighth inning and allowed two hits and struck out one and walked two. Pete Appleton, former Major League star, came on in the ninth and gave up no hits and struck out one and walked one.
 Frank Monti and Denton John son had two hits apiece for the Fighters while Joe Bart led the at tack for Quonset with two hits.
 Bradley took the lead in the first inning with two runs. Johnny Gut kowski was called out on strikes to start the inning but Summers sin gled and moved on to second when Bart juggled the ball. Harrington was hit by a pitched ball and moved down to first. Byrnes then struck out and Dewey Johnson walked to load the bases. Monti came through with a single to left field to score Summers and Harrington with the two runs. Ward flied out to right to end the inning.
 Quonset picked up one run in the fourth inning on an error, a sacri- flee and a single by Hegwood. Then

First Half Title Taken by Section C

Section G's strong softball team, under the able leadership of David Ignatius Sookey, are the first round champions of the EM Softball League. The G-Men defeated the fighting pill-rollers of Section B in the play-off game by score of GA. David Ignatius Sookey, himself, was on the hill for the G-Men and scattered four hits over the seven inning stretch. Parise also tossed a four hitter, but his support came loose at the seams in the fourth frame when the G-guys scored all their runs.
 The League operated during the first half with eight teams, how ever, more teams are wanted for the second half as one or two teams will be unable to participate. All teams who are interested in com peting in the second half are urged to have the manager contact Cpl. Phil Cummings at the Base gynna- sium, extension 438. Entry deadline will be Tuesday morning as the schedule must be completed by next Thursday.
