If they resent the presidents partisan
appeal and heed the plea that they
show their resentment of the action Of
to grant national suffrage the major
ity will vote for the Republican con-
gressmen and Cepper.
1t has been estimated that the state
would poll nearly six hundred thou-
sand votes Tuesday. This is practical
ly the same as the state polled in the
presidential elections. If the total is
tically every woman in the state OF
voting age cast a ballot this year.
The effect President Wilson't APP
peal is going to have with the rank
and file of the voters cannot be fore
cast. The majority of Republican
leaders assert the voters will resent it
and will show their resentment with
their ballots. The majority of Demo-
Gratis believe the voters will give the
president what ever he wants and will
show Kansas is behind him by giving
him the Democratic aid he seeks.
There are some Democrats who assert
the Wilson plea will hurt because the
Democratic candidates were relying
upon Republican votes to put them
over and they are afraid these Repub-
lican voters will resent the president
action. On the other hand there are
some Republicans who frankly admit
they cannot tell what effect the appeal
will have and who admit 1t will not
be known whether or not he made a
political blunder until the results are
ia bulated.
And so it goes. AS usual the voters,
