A "musical" announcement of a Presidential election...

Item # 698289 ·
ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, Florida, Nov. 8, 1944  

* Franklin D. Roosevelt - FDR
* 4th presidential election victory
* Unusual musical themed headline


Among the list of unusual newspaper headlines, this would rank near the top. See the photo for the "musical" announcement concerning the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt for an unprecedented fourth term: "OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING" printed in musical form.
At that time, the Rogers & Hammerstein production of "Oklahoma" was a runaway success, hence the use of this line from the musical. Another headline notes: "Record Vote Re-Elects F.D.R. For 4th Term".
Presumed complete in 10 pages, very nice condition.
