Four More Years of Hughes

It was November 2, 1920. The polls had come in and been tallied in totality. The vote was clear; perhaps more so than any other U.S. election in the brief history of the nation. President Charles Evans Hughes had been re-elected in a landslide victory.

He stood at the podium before the gathered crowd, delivering his victory speech beneath glowing electric lights and waving flags.

"Tonight, the American people have spoken... loudly, clearly, and without hesitation. You've asked for four more years of industry. Four more years of security. Four more years of American prosperity. And I intend to deliver.

"While my opponent ran an exceptional campaign, the people have made their will known. And that will is to continue forging our destiny; strong, sovereign, and secure.
