means unanimous syegarding'§ the
landslide which carried President
Roosevelt into his second term. It is
interesting to observe the wide divergence in view expressed not only
in those’ states which are normally
Republican but also in some of the
ets which are never anything but
“Democratic, . However, nearly all
editors hope that the great personal
victory accorded the President will
‘RaQuce him to meet future problems
With methods that. are sound. In
other words, that we shall have fewer costly and futile experiments.
“We believe the re-election of Mr.
Roosevelt ‘brings us a step nearer to

justice,’’ declares the Richmond
’ News Leader (Dem.)
“The election is not a mandate
for any reckless course,’’.in the judgment of the -Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin (Ind. Rep.), although that
paper voices the belief that ‘‘confidence in the man was sufficient to
put other considerations and challenges aside.’’
“The magnitude of the victory
must increase the President’s sense
of ‘this obligation to all the people,”
concludes the Newark (N. J.) Evening News (Ind.), and the Baltimore
Sun (Dem.) ‘hopes and believes. that
the President will find in victory
that sense of humility which is the
shield of the good and the great.’’ .
“Tf it. could be hoped,’ says the
New York Sun (Ind.), ‘‘that his overwhelming triumph at the polls
would bring to the restless spirit in
the White House the mood he showed more than a year ago, when he
said that the breathing spell had arrived, the conservatives might rest
easier.’’
“Closer» up, however, is the vindictive speech in the Garden with
its stern expression of the President's
determination to be ‘master.’
t “What :will ‘be the effect of
paralled sweep upon a mind so tidal? Will he take it for granted that
the vote was an unlimited grant of
power to continue the experimentation which was so bold and often

“Certainly Governor Landon has
Rpthing to regret,” suggests the Los
Amgeles Times (Rep.). “The coneentrated fire which he and his running-nfate and associates directed
against the New Deal theories forced
their abandonment, at least for campaign purposes, even by their chief
proponents. The President publicly
renounced practically every one of
