The First 12 Month Draft Notices

The first 12 month draft notices went out in october. Roosevelt desperately wanted to help britain, but he also desperately wanted to get re elected. 80 % of the population ted to stay out of the war, but they just passed the first peace time draft in us. That's exactly the kind of thing that could tip the election to wilkie. What did roosevelt do? He decided to try to reassure the public. And it was enough for him to win the election.
