Most Brutal Majority In
Historv; Landon Gets Only
8 Eleetorial Votes
Re-elected By Overwhelming Vote Tuesday
Roosevelt Carries Del-
ta County 1,465
To Landon’s 82
With a bone-rattling blow that
shook Republicanism to its vitals,
L President Roosevelt advanced
L Wednesday to the greatest victory
f any candidate has ’bad since the
W Nation grew up.
So vast wag his margin over
Alfred M. Landon that followers
called it a clear mandate for Mr.
Roosevelt to continue his liberal
policies; even some of his bitter-
est opponents said every real Am-
erican must stand behind the
President.
Some reactions were visible im-
mediately. The stock market was
thrown into a buying whirl, with
some issues advancing to a new
five-year high and only public
utility stocks the object of heavy
selling.
Just two states, Maine and Ver-
mont, with eight electoral votes,
stood on the Landon side. New
Hampshire spent election night in
the Landon column, then climbed
on the Democratic bandwagon.
In the end, the President seem-
ed ceitain of 523 electoral vot ■?,
Landon e’ght. It was the neave.d
approach to unanimity in t e elec-
toral college since James Monroe
was re-elected in 1820 with only a
vote against him.
