A look back into the files of The Record shows that the campaign for the election of 1932, which would change the fate of America, didn’t cause much of a stir in Odessa. There wasn’t much talk of the campaign. For weeks in advance of the November 8 voting, The Record carried little or nothing about national, state or local issues. The spotlight, of course was on the presidential race, which was Franklin D. Roosevelt versus Herbert Hoover. In a straw vote at Odessa High School, Hoover came out the winner, 79 to 68. The Rec...

Another was a woman with local connections who was on her way home to the west side. Just taking the scenic route. And fi...
