Stone, I. F. | October 7, 1944 issue

The article presents information about the voting trends in three important states of the U.S. From the Civil War until 1932 Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan had been pretty securely Republican. Ohio had left the party fold only in 1912 and in 1916. Illinois had voted twice for other political candidates. Michigan had never gone Democratic in a Presidential election since the Republican Party was formed in 1854. The U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt carded all three in 1932 and four years later increased his majorities in them. Ohio gave Roosevelt only 74,000 more votes than Herbert Hoover in 1932, but in 1936 cast 619,000 more votes for Roosevelt.
