Day's News
BJ FRANK JENKINS.
TBS tact seems to stand out of tie
national election:
The voters, bruised and eore from
the buffetlngs of depression, and
short of temper, as one l apt to be
when he Is bruised ar.d sore, started
out with a club on Tuesday morning,
and whenever they found a head In
office they cracked It.
The thing they wanted was to get
ss far away as possible from what has
been.
PEOPLE are saying on the streets,
some of them In shocked tones:
"Old you ever see such an election?"
end to those questioners one Is sup
' posed to answer: " NEVER dldl"
But we have. There was a some
what similar landslide In 1930, when
'Harding defeated Cox by a monu
mental vote.
In the four years preceding, there
bad been two years of war, one year
of trembling on the verge of war and
one year of the confusion that follows
war.
People were weary and sore and dis
gusted, and then as now they voted
to throw everybody out that was In.
THAT Is what voters nearly always
do when they don't like what has
been going on. They always have.
What Is more, they ALWAYS WILL.
If government doesn't provide what
people want, whether It Is posslbls
to do so or not, people will change
the government. '
T TERB. of course. Is the question
1 that Interests all of us most:
'What will be the effect of this up
heaval on business, which In the past
three months has appeared to be re
viving?" It is probably too early as yet to
judge, but plesse note that on Mon
day, the day before election, the stock
market went up. If you follow the
little table of averages printed dally
In this newspaper, you will note that
the rise was 3.1 points over the figure
for Saturday.
Wednesday morning, which was the
day after election, the market opened
with a rather buoyant trend, slid
off after the first hour or two, stead
led later, and finally closed with an
average loss of only one and a half
points, or a little better than half a
point above the Saturday average.
That certainly doesn't reflect sny
general consternation over the results
of Tuesday's landslide.
yHIfl writer, who 1s a persistent
optimist, listened Wednesday to
tlhls Interesting opinion by another
optimist:
"The Roosevelt vote. In. my Judg
ment, was a protest vote. It came
from that element of the population,
now unfortunately large, which has
Buffered severely from the depression.
These people were sore, and probably
quite angry over their misfortunes.
"By the act of voting to throw all
ths Ins out and putting outs in their
places, this anger has been more
" or less quenched Just, for example,
as one feels better after going out
en the back porch, when all upset,
and kicking the cat.
"If that is true, we are In a far
better position to go forward quietly
and normally than we were before."
N the fifth day of March, as you
' have read in this newspaper,
President Hoover will retire to prl
J vate life.
Arising late on the morning after
election day, he comes out smiling
to receive the correspondents. He
had had the longest night's sleep, he
said, In years.
Responsibility, you see, had been
lifted from his shoulders, and so hs
could sleep.
IT sounds nice too say: "Oh well,
I'll bet he's glad to be out from
under the load.
It may sound nice, but It Isn't true.
No man who Is worth while and
President Hoover 18 eminently worth
while is gt&d to be defeated. Her
bert Hoover knew the feeling of heart
soreness on the morning after elec
tion day. Make no mistake as to that.
But he will survive It. Really great
m?n always do.
N Oregon long rater as a prohlbl-
tton state, the state prohibition
law Is repealed by a decisive vote.
People weren't toting for a drink.
for they knew repeal of t?t state law
won't bring it. They weren't voting
to throw the whole burden of en
forcement on the federal government.
They were voting as a GESTURE.
They wanted to make it plain that
they are tired of prohibition as Is.
All over the nation, this attitude was
reflected.
It stems to be evident that the
skids are undsr prohMtipj,
PRESIDENT-ELECT
No Decision On Cabinet Or
Other Aides Until January
Is Word Many Rumors
On Future Plans Laid
ALBANY, N. T., Not. AP
President-elect Roosevelt today was
confined to his bed with a slight
cold. Ha cancelled his week-end
trip to Hyde Park to rest at the ex
ecutive mansion. Mrs. Roosevelt ar
rived today from New York.
. Mr. Roosevelt said yesterday that
he had contracted a cold last Tues
day on his motor trip from Hyde
Park to New York city, but he added
he believed he had tossed It off.
He rode In an open car that day
and during most of the day was bare
headed, while he waived his hat to
the crowds In the villages along the
way.
Mr. Roosevelt, who conducted a
most arduous campaign, said the day
after his election: "I never felt bet
ter," but added he was tired and
expected to "catch up" with his
sleep during the following week.
Mr. Roosevelt awoke at mld-morn-lng
after working late last night. He
had his breakfast In bed.
After breakfast h 1 s secretaries
brought a portion of the morning
flood of mall to him, which he
looked over, dictating answers.
Mrs. Roosevelt took the helm at
the executive mansion today Imme
diately upon her return from New
York. It was the next "first lady"
who chatted with several of the many
visitors who arrived during the
morning.
The president-elect had served no
tice today tthat not before early Jan
uary will he begin gathering about
him the men on whom he will rely,
as president, to help him administer
the nation's affairs.
In a brief statement last night
the president-elect aald no decisions
regarding any federal appointments
would be reached "for at least two
months."
In the meantime, he said, he will
give his attention principally to the
affairs of New York state.
The governor took time yesterday
to explore witfi newspaper men Into
the speculative rumors which had
arisen- about his- plans ' a!nce-the
landslide Democratic vote which
swept him to victory Tuesday.
He Issued the statement about fed
eral appointments to stifle specula
tion about his selections for cabinet
and other federal posts.
Regarding suggestions that Mr.
Roosevelt might visit the White
House to discuss with the president
matters relating to the future of the
nation, Intimate associates of the
president-elect said any initiative to
ward such a meeting should properly
come from the White House.' Mr.
Roosevelt does not plan to stop at
waamngton on his trip south.

WASHINGTON. Not. 11. (AP)
Tribute to the unknown soldier echoed
solemnly over the stillness of Arling

reading of a message from President
Hoover, which said:
The nation will linger today In
Its annual tribute to reverend mem
ory of the glorious youth who gave
their lives to defend our heritage of
liberty and will pay especial homage
in the dedication of the completed
tomb of the unknown soldier.
"Its beauty Is a symbol of our na
tional pride In their heroism; our
gratitude for their supreme devotion."
In a brief address, secretary Hurley
stood before the new tomb paying
honor to the soldiers and sailors of
the war. As he rose to speak, some
70 or 80 of the audience rose and
left, In accordance with previously
announced Intentions as a protest
against eviction of the bonus army
from Its squalid encampments here
last summer.
There was no disturbance, however.
Half a dozen who described them
selves as members of the bonus army,
led by some of the blue uniformed
members of the drum and bugle corps
of the local Victory post of the
American Legion, placed wreaths on
the graves of William J. Hushka and

WASHINGTON, Nov. J.V (AP) Though assured a big majority In
the new congress, wets today measured their chances for beer at the
December session of the old largely by the known opposition of Sena
tor Borah (EL, Idaho and the unknown attitude of President Hoover.
Borah, who was offered the prohl-.

oppose vigorously both modification
of the Volstead act and repeal of the
18th amendment.
He forecast no change In prohibi

position contrary to that expressed
by house and seite democrats and

opponent, Wslter B. Oleason.
The secretary of state, state treas

BEVERLY HILLS, Cel., Not.
10. Sir. Hoover, the consola
tion yon have from ths whole
American people is no doubt'
greater than ever shared by tt
losing president.
There was nothing personal
In the vote against yon. You
just happened to be associated
with a political party that the
people had just lost their taste
for. There is something about a
Republican that you can only
stand for hira just so long and
on th other hand there is
something about a Democrat
that you can't stand for him
finite that long.
We all know that you was
handed a balloon that waa
blown rip to its utmost. You
held it as carefully as anyone
could but the thing "busted"
right in your hands. "Well,
there just ain't much yon can
do in a case like that.
No, it wasn't you, Mr. Presi
dent, the peorlc just wanted to
buy something new and thy
didn't have any money to buy
it with, but they could go oui
and vote free and get some
thing new for nothing. So cheer
op, you don't know how lucky;
you are.
