Hanover Goes Republican

ALTHOUGH NEW HAMPSHIRE landed in the Roosevelt column by about 15,000 votes in the Presidential election, Hanover continued as a Republican stronghold, casting 931 votes for Willkie against 778 for Roosevelt and 10 for Norman • Thomas. Dr. Robert O. Blood 'l3m, Republican Governor-elect of New Hampshire, carried Hanover by a wider margin, 993 to 545. Archie B. Gile '17 also ran ahead of the Republican ticket with 976 votes as Hanover representative to the New Hampshire General Court. Two other Republican representatives returned to Concord were Edgar H. Hunter 'O1 with 906 votes and Charles A. Holden '95 with 895.

A poll among Dartmouth undergraduates, most of whom were too young to vote, gave Willkie a 3 to 1 margin over President Roosevelt. In the same poll conducted by TheDartmouth the faculty gave Roosevelt 85 votes, Willkie 83 and Norman Thomas 5.
