Can Women Elect a President?

The estimate that about 100000 women
will have the right to vote at the next
Presidential election shows the develop
ment of a feminine political. strength
which might in conceivable circumstances
hold the balance of power.
The women voters are concentrated in
California, Colorado, Idaho. Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming. AS the total popu-
lar vote for President in 1908 was 14,SSS,-
442, they will control approximately 5 per
cent of the vote at the next election.
Tafts plurality over Bryan was 1858
but a Republican plurality of similar
proportions could be turned into an ad-
verse vote if so per cent of the women
voters should support the Democratic
candidate. In the electoral college the
states where general female suffrage
exists will have thirty-seven votes in a
total of SOL The electoral votes for
Cleveland exceeded those cast for Blaine
in 1884 by exactly thirty-seven.
Except for Colorado, these states went
Republican in 1908. VIII the accession
of women voters confirm the Republican
ma jorities there or decrease them to such
an extent as to make the state debat-
able?--[New York World.
