I washed some and went up town. Such a crowd I did
not wait to vote. Hattie here awhile. I went back to vote
after dinner. Did some errands. Aunt Emma and Ida
Anderson here. Later I walked to depot to talk about rates
for a trip I may take. Listened to radio with The Gays
to hear reports of election. A beautiful day. Letter from Ida.
Wednesday November 7th 1928
It rained most of the day. I went to the Church in a
taxi. An interesting day. Rob came for Hattie at four
oclock and brought me home. Letters from Mrs Falk and Alice Condon.
The word on election is Herbert Hoover is President.
