Greatest paradox was that the innumerable explanations of the Willkie victory converged at a single point. That point was Franklin Roosevelt. To Cartoonist Harry Bressler of the New Haven Journal-Courier, it was simple: he pictured a triumphant, rearing-back Roosevelt looming over the delegates like one of mountain-spoiling Sculptor Gutzon Borglum's gigantic stone visages. More complex was the realization that more than any other candidate Wendell Willkie stood as a symbol of opposition to the New Deal -not to its ideas, to which he subscribed far more than many a Republican present, but as a businessman...
Professional traders fought the turn. The Wall Street Journal reported: "Wall Street did not follow the rise of Tuesday and Wednesday with any confidence. . . .

...before bargain hunters could decide whether to wait for lower prices, one big question had to be answered. Would the President proclaim a National Emergency, approve of SEC's closing the Exchanges? Clamor for such a step grew noisier. The Wall Street Journal chided the clamorers, editorialized: "The Securities and Exchange Commission and the authorities of the New York Stock Exchange are to be congratulated upon their refusal to interfere. . . .
