Herbert Hoover Elected President...

This 20 page newspaper has a great seven column headline in bold lettering: "HOOVER WINS!" with subheads and illustration of Hoover.  A very nice issue for display here.

Other news and advertisements of the day. Minor spine wear, otherwise good condition.
 
wikipedia notes: In 1928, when President Coolidge declined to run for a second term of office, Herbert Hoover was urged to become the Republican Party candidate. Hoovers reputation, experience, and public popularity coalesced to give him the Republican presidential nomination. He campaigned against Al Smith on the basis of efficiency and prosperity. Although Smith was the target of anti-Catholicism from the Baptist and Lutheran communities, Hoover avoided the religious issue. (Quakers were themselves under attack as pacifists.) He supported prohibition tentatively (calling it a "noble experiment"). Historians agree that Hoover's national reputation and the booming economy, combined with the deep splits in the Democratic party over religion and prohibition, guaranteed his landslide victory.

On poverty he promised: "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land." Within months, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred, and the nation's economy spiraled downward into what became known as the Great Depression.
