Show THE LEHI SUN, LEHL UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Ova: Great Democratic Landslide That Carried Roosevelt and Garner to Victory Gossip About the 1 Next President's Cabinet. " ' By EDWARD W. PICKARD Franklin D. Roosevelt RIDING triumphantly upon the crest of a tremendous wave of discontent, Franklin Delano Rooae-, Rooae-, telt was elected President of the United 'States, the thirty-second man to win that lofty eminence. Herbert Hoover went down to catacytemlc defeat de-feat because of conditions con-ditions and circumstances circum-stances beyond his control and not of his making. The sovereign people of the nation wanted a change, a "new deal." that might conceivably bring about an Improvement In business and industry and provide Jobs for the millions of unemployed. So they went to the polls and got the change. The defeat of the Republican national na-tional ticket was the greatest sustained sus-tained by a majority party In more than a century. Governor Roosevelt Roose-velt carried 42 states and has a vote of 472 In the electoral college. President Hoover won In only Maine, Connecticut. Delaware, New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-vania. His electoral college vote Is 69. The Democratic candidate was 200 votes in excess ot the 2G6 necessary to a choice. Moreover, when the victor takes office next March he will have backing him a congress controlled by the Democrats, for they won a majority in the senate and Increased the mnjoiit; they already al-ready had in the house of representatives. repre-sentatives. Among the notable Republican Re-publican senators vho were over- ' whelmed by the deluge were Hiram Hi-ram Bingham of Connecticut. Reed Suioot of Utah, Jame E. Watson of Indiana. Otis F. Glenn of Illinois and George H. Moses of New Hampshire. Brookhnrt of Iowa. Blaine of Wisconsin and Shortrldge of California had been eliminated in the primaries. Though New York with its 47 electoral votes had been considered the crucial battleground. Roosevelt, as It turned out. did not need It to win. However, he carried his home state by about 642.(XK) plurality plural-ity because of the Immense plurality plural-ity of about 802.000 given him by Greater New York city. Lieut Gov. H. H. Lehman led the national and state tickets, winning the governor Ship over "Wild Rill" Donovan by nearly a million votes. Senator . Robert F. Wagner easily won reelection. re-election. Among the well known New York congressmen defeated were Florello La Guardla and Ruth Baker Prntt. Former Senator James W. Wadsworth, Republican wet. was elected a member of the lower house. i. , V ..a John N. Garner DEMOCRATS of Illinois, with the aid of thousands of Republicans, Republic-ans, not only gave Roosevelt and Garner a handsome plurality but elected their entire state ticket. At its head was Judge H. Horner of Chicago who swamped I.en Small in the race for the governor ship. This was not surprising, for Small's record as state treasurer and governor was peculiarly pe-culiarly open to attack, at-tack, while the only argument against Horner was that bis election would add strength to the powerful machine built up by Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago. Congress-nan Congress-nan William H. Deiterlch was successful suc-cessful in displacing Senator Otis F. Glenn. In Cook county the chief battle, that for state's attorney , was marked by a lot of unpleasant cbemlng. with charges and countercharges counter-charges concerning the crime aitoa tion In Chicago. The Democratic candidate. State Senator T. J. Court sey, defeated the Republican Incumbent. In-cumbent. John A. Swanson. by more than 300.000 votes. In Wisconsin the La Follette fol lowing defeated In the primaries threw Its strength to the Itemocrats. and the conservative Republicans, led by Walter Kohler for eovernor were defeated. A. G.

Henry Field. ho whipped Senator Brookhart In the Inwa prl marles. went down In the debacle and Louis Murphy, wet Democrat was elected senator. Brookhnrt. who ran aa an Independent, received a pitifully small vote. heard the rejoicings of his close associates as-sociates In the campaign, and then went to Albany to take up the task of adjusting the New York state budget. A group of leading Demo crats in the senate and house, as soon as his victory was assured, telegraphed tel-egraphed him urging that he enunciate enun-ciate as soon as possible his pro gram of combating the depression, and asking especially that be tell the country whether or not be planned to call a special session of congress Immediately after his Inauguration In-auguration to deal with the tariff. It was Intimated in Washington that Mr. Roosevelt might assume at once the leadership of bis party and dl rect its doings In the Anal session of the Seventy-second congress dur Ing the winter. Since the nation's problems are so grave and realty not partisan, it would be gratifying to the people to see the Presidentelect President-elect and his party co operating sincerely sin-cerely with the administration of President Hoover In seeking their solution. With the election ended so decisively, this delightful dream might be realized. MR. ROOSEVELT at least pro-' poses to try to get his program for national recovery started during the coming short session of con gress. He let It be known that he would Invite the leaders of the pres ent senate and house to a confer ence at his winter home at Warm Springs. Ga., where he will spend two weeks at Thanksgiving time, and will plan with them what can be done without waiting for his In auguratlon. Farm relief especially will be discussed. Mr. Roosevelt has plans to aid agriculture by a domestic tariff, to be levied on certain cer-tain basic qrops such as wheat, corn and cotton, which would be intend ed to give the farmers a better price for their products and strengthen their buying power. It ts likely, too, that a measure to legalize beer will be put through the lame duel session of congress if the plans of the wets work out. though the drys will fight It as long as they can, and they are still in the majority In both houses. Many of the states on election day voted to repeal, their dry laws, and the next congress will be controlled by wets. 7T1 Cm , Alfred E. Smith GREAT Interest is now evinced In the makeup of Roosevelt's cabinet. Before the election he announced an-nounced that he had made no commitments, com-mitments, and to date he has made known none of his selections. Political gossip was that Al Smith's reconrilia tion with Roosevelt was bused on vlr tual assurance that the latter would not consider any of the Independent Republicans for cabinet positions, and this was taken Into consideration also by other conservative Democratic Demo-cratic leaders who feared noth Ing else would so alarm business as the selection of radicals for positions of Importance. It was not thought likely that Mr. Smith would himself accept a place In the cabinet but possibly he might be appointed chairman of a commls slon to reorganize the federar government gov-ernment Mention as possible cabinet mem bers were John W. Davis or New ton D Bnker for secretary of state; Melvtn A. Trayler or Owen D. Young for secretary of the treas ury; National Chairman James Far ley for postmaster general; Gov ernor Ritchie.

' ' ' . . ' AND now their strong, small cabins cab-ins stood, seamed with snow, in the utter whiteness of the clearing. clear-ing. The blue smoke of their sturdy chimneys drifted warmly against the black wall of the wilderness and their hearths were ruddy with deep embers. THE harvest was bountiful. The dark barns were, musty with maize and bulging pumpkins glowed in the light of the candle. The walls of the cabins were festooned with dry herbs and at each door hung the frozen carcass of a wild beast THE dark ocean thundered with winter storms. The vast wilderness wilder-ness frowned. Death lurked in the forest and the clearing. Men had died from ax wounds and arrows. Children had perished of starvation and disease and young wives had died in motherhood. Over each door hung the weapons of hunt and warfare. Life was grim and heroic with Odyssean uncertainty. BUT there were the rooftree and the precious fire, grain in the bin and the stripped carcass by the door. This was their home; only death could dispossess them. Their minds and their hearts were their own and not even death could dispossess dis-possess them. Here a man might speak as he pleased and pray as he pleased. He could not ask for more, having known the wrongs of oppression and the terrors of the wide sea and a strange land. A ND so a day was set aside for Thanksgiving to God for H: great goodness, for the boon of life, for rooftree and fire and food and the privilege of the thankful heart On that day, between . the stormy sea and the awful wilderness, these people sang and feasted on the small bounty of the first harvest Hubert Kelley, in the Kansas City Star.

Then read of a recent feeding test conducted con-ducted by two eminent baby specialists. Let their findings help you decide what milk for my baby. For a test, fifty average babies were chosen. Into their bottles through the months of the test went a milk known to millions of mothers and grandmothers in this country as a wonderful baby builder. That milk was Eagle Brand. Eagle Brand was the only food these babies received, re-ceived, except for the usual supplementary supplemen-tary foods now given even with mother's milk. And how those babies were studied! Regularly, X-Ray pictures of bones were taken. Tooth development was watched. Weights and heights recorded. Blood counts made. And all these results were compared with other groups of babies, similarly fed on other foods. What the test showed At last came the verdict: Measured by every scientific test, the result was favorable to Eagle Brand.
