NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU REQUIRE PRIORITY MAIL OR LIVE OUTSIDE THE U.S. XX [From the PREFACE] Strange it is that the national government has published no complete record of the presidential vote in the United States. Yet for more than a hundred and fifty years the presidential vote has been the primary manifestation of the American system of self-government. Basic to all discussions of politics among millions of Americans, this vote recorded in the counties of the nation is the subject of the keenest speculation. No vote in this country nor elsewhere in the world is surrounded with such safeguards and accompanied by such extensive preparation and organization. In the activities of political party organizations, in the campaigns of nominees for office, and in the comment of citizens upon the conduct of their officials in government are found great themes in the history of the United States as it unfolds year by year. Despite this intense interest in presidential elections, the American people have failed to perceive that in the past fifty years the pattern of national politics has been almost completely transformed. They have clung to a well-worn tradition which gives undue political value to sections, cities, and counties of consistent record. This contradiction between established tradition and present-day fact is the main theme of the present volume. Herein is presented the record of the vote in each election in which Franklin Roosevelt was a candidate. In all future discussions of the Presidency of the United States, the basis of his support and the nature of his leadership will be critically examined. [ABOUT THE AUTHOR, from his 1977 obituary] Dr. Edgar E. Robinson founded the Stanford University Institute of American History to upgrade teaching of the? subject at the nation's schools and colleges. He was 90 years old and had been retired since 1952. Dr. Robinson, who joined the Stanford department in 1911 and headed its history department from 1928 to 1945, organized the institute in 1942 after a survey by The New York Times found widespread ignorance about the nation's past. Though Dr. Robinson had been discussing such an institute since the late 1930's, The Times's survey, which found that 82 percent of the nation's colleges did not require course study in American history, spurred its creation. [His] 1947 work, "They Voted for Roosevelt," provided a detailed examination of the winning coalitions in the Presidential elections of 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. He predicted that the Democrats would have difficulty maintaining the majority that Roosevelt had put together by appealing to a wide variety of interests, especially in the South.

In his address before the Friends of the Bancroft Library, Mr. Robinson relates that even though he was affiliated with Stanford University he and some of his students would travel to Berkeley to use the Bancroft Library. He states: "But I assure you that many of us outside feel that the Bancroft Library belongs to us; it is, moreover, a guide and inspiration to all who labor elsewhere in historical research and libraries of lesser size and less wealth of historical resources". He fu rther describes the importance of all major libraries as the repositories of our history.
