The Roosevelt Victory

ERANKLIN DELANo ROOSEVELT has won
the consent of the American people to fourth
term as President of the United States.
This was done in free election, after full
discussion of the issues.
The result is accepted in the traditional
AMERICAN spirit-the spirit of giving it every
chance to work out for the best, and of supporting
it as long as the best interests of the country
thereby served, and of reserving critical judgment
upon it until it has proved contrary to those inter-
ests.
Gov Dewey the defeated candidate has best
expressed the spirit of the American people, as was
expected of him and was his duty.
"EUery good American" he said in his
message of concession, "wiu Fundamentally &c.
cept the viH of the people"
His earnest hope for President Roosevelt in
his next term, he said is that it will see speedy
victory in the war, the establishment of lasting
peace and the restoration of tranquility among our
people"
His patriotic pledge to the nation is that:
"AU Americans lDiu join me in the deUout
hope that, the difficult years ahead, DiUine ProU
idence tUH guide and protect the President of the
United States"
THIS is the RIGHT spirit, it is very wonderful
spirit and it is truly the AMERICAN spirit.
We conduct our American elections in calm or
in stress, with varying degrees of vigor often with
wide difference of opinion.
In the present instance, we have conducted an
American election in the crucial period of great
war.
But we always conduct them without restraint
upon free discussion And when the results are de-
termined, we accept them, as Gov. Dewey has said,
as the proper and rightful will of the people.
The rest of the world has watched this war.
time American election with great amazement and
some bewilderment.
It has seemed strange to many nations, those
friendly to us as well as those with which we are
at war; that we should adhere to the principles and
processes of democracy in so grave an emergency.
DUT the American people know that this is the
~ very TIME for their strongest adherence to
democracy.
If we should only be democratic in tranquil
times and abandon democracy when there is stress
and danger we would not have preserved the free
land of our fathers for more than century and a
half
The American people are UNITED people,
behind their armed forces in the war, and behind
the wholesome and determined aspirations of all of
us for a speedy and complete victory and for
fruitful and progressive peace thereafter.
We go on today, tomorrow and for all the
remaining days of world conflict, united to WIN
THE WAR VIGOROUSLY, and MAKE THE
PEACE PERMANENTLY and BRING OUR
BOYS HOME PROMPTLY.
That is the high responsibility of the con-
tinuing administration OF President Roosevelt
The nation in this election has expressed its
confidence in the ability of the President and his
administration to fulfill its responsibility.
