PRESIDENT WINS 40 STATES
WITH ELECTORAL COLLEGE
OF 472 AGAINST WILLKIE'S 92
NEW YORK-(UP).-President Roosevelt's third term victory
over Wendell L. Willkie was building up Wednesday toward an-
other electoral -college landslide.
The new deal is in for another four years at the White House
and at least two more on Capitol Hill, but Willkie appears fo have
piled up the largest vote ever cast for a losing candidate.
Mr. Roosevelt was sure of 270 electoral votes. He was leading
in 40 states with 472 electoral votes, some of which were doubt-
ful, however. Willkie was ahead in 8 states with 59 electoral votes.
The landslide was. indicated on the basis of incomplete returns
at 1 p. m. (CST).

Willkie Admits
Roosevelt Victory
NEW YORK - (UP) -
Republican P r e s i dential
Nominee Wendell L. Willkie
Wednesday conceded that
President Roosevelt had
been re-elected.
He sent the following
telegram to President Roose-
velt:
"Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the U. S,
'Hyde Park, New York.
'Consgratulations ons your

that so many American

gram to. his private secre-

ly before 9:30 a. in.- (CST.)divided as follows:
Roosevelt 22,039,853-54.4 %
Willkie .18,408,829-45.6 %
The new deal had broken
through Republican defenses in
New England and in the great
industrial states of the middle
East. The solid South held solid
and the far West went to Roo-
sevelt although Oregon was
fighting ground. The middle
West proved a Willkie strong-
hold.
The president told his Hyde
Park, N. Y., neighbors that they
would find him "the same Frank-
lin Roosevelt that *you haye
known for a great many years."

it appears also that the G.O.P.
