Now that the time for the Presidential election is drawing nearer there is hardly anything else but election talk in the air. Every day the radio gives some thing of the anxious time, which will be settled on November 8th., when the people of the United States and possessions will know which of their party has won, whether the country will remain Republican or go Democratic. Booklets boosting the candidates snd posters bearing large sized pictures of the same men are being circulated through the mails. Some of these booklets and posters have reached the Virgin Islands. In these small islands there is also plenty of discussion as to who will be the next President of the United States, whether Hoover will continue for another term or Roosevelt will pass in. As one member of the Democratic party remarked some days again the States, ‘‘let us wait until November 8th. when the question will be finally answered.” In the meantime Republicans and Democrats are busy in the United States. The candidates for election are giving addresses all over the country, with the view of impressing their hearers. The Virgin Islands being now linked up with the modern radio world sometimes “listen in” on these grand public addresses delivered by these distinguished men.
