proved very bad indeed.
Smiling at newspapérmen around
his desk, Mr. Roosevelt today re
vealed that his last guess on the
election result under-estimated his
electoral vote by I€ 3.
The chief executive revealed
that his forecast made on Novem

until the returns had been count
ed, was: Roosevelt 3860, Landon
171. The President actually got
