This recorder, mounted on the front of the Daily News building will tell you on Tuesday evening just how election is going. It will show how each candidate stands, just as a thermometer shows the temperature. The total number of electoral votes cast by the 48 states is 531. A candidate must receive 266 of these to be elected. As fast as definite returns come in from the various states on Tuesday night, votes will be drawn from the "Not Reported" column and added to the Landon or Roosevelt column as the case may be. The candidate who passes the 266 mark will be the next president of the United States. The recorder will make plain at a glance the standing of each candidate from the time returns begin to come in until all states have reported. Watch The Daily News Election Recorder to see how the electoral votes are going, and read the Daily News extras for the detailed news of the election returns.
