NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—President Roosevelt has been re. ; turned to power for four more years by the largest vote ever given to a presidential candidate, incomplete returns of the United Press indicated today." 4 Gov. Alf M. Landon appeared to be the worst defeatet candidate since 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt led B Moosers out of the Republican Party and William Taft, t

'G. O. P. nominee, received only eight electoral votes.

Mr. Roosevelt has won or is leading in 46 states whi : electoral votes total 523. As the ballots continued to pile in, it seemed certain that he would exceed the 22,000,000 votes he received i in 1932 when he defeated Herbert Hoover. *° The vote, with returns still straggling in from i many.
