women VOTING UPSETS
DOPE OF CALCULATORs
Right to Ballot II Amendment
Is Ratified.
SITUATION is COMPLICATED
Politicians Assert 1t Is Uncertain
and Unsafe to Assume That GentIer
Sex Will Vote as Fathers or
Husbands.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Political
leaders OF both major party organiza-
tons. just now are more concerned
with the women vote than any other
phase OF the 1920 political campaign.
Regardless OF whether the Federal
suffrage amendment is ratified so as
to permit the women Of all the States
to participate in the 1920 election.
several million new women voters will
go to the polls in November of next
year. Organization leaders say these
millions of new voters tremendously
complexities the situation. These lead
ders say they already have found it
is altogether unsafe to go on the as
sumption the women will vote GER
tain ticket just because their fathers,
or their husbands voted that way
These organization leaders, whose
training mpels them to admit nothing
discouraging, but to claim everything,
frankly have adopted new tactics with
regard to the women vote. They ad-
nit they are at sea. and say they have
good reason to be at sea
Many leading members of Congress
are swinging to the opinion that the
amendment will be ratified in time to
permit the women of the entire nation
to vote at the next presidential cleo
ton. They are taking this view know
Ing that a number Of the Southern
States are expected to turn down the
amendment
Perhaps the best guess is that 49,
100000 voters will participate in the

next election. This is the estimate
now most generally accepted.
In 1900 the whole number was 49,
970.605. In 1905 1t fell TO l3,525259,
decrease attributable to the decided
lack of enthusiasm manifested by
Democrats toward the candidacy OF
Judge Alton b. Parker. Four years
later. however. the vote rose TO a.
SSS.159. and in 1912 II was l5,022,S27.
Between 1912 and 1916 the ballot was
granted to women in several States,
among them California. Kansas and
illinois. Consequently, the total vote
for President in 1916 was 1S,652s47

time conferred presidential suffrage on
the women. IL was 2,l92.707, or gain
of no less than l,0i6.923.
OF course. tho natural gain in tho
votes OF the men must be taken into
throughout the country, but it is evil
dent that by far the larger part Of
the total increase in the votes cast
for President must be attributed to
the women voters.
1t is difficult to forecast the popula
ton of the United States as 1t will be
revealed when the dccennil census is
taken next year. The war. the almost
complete suspension of foreign immi-
grafton. and the number OF European
reservists who went home early in the
struggle must be considered In estimat
ing the ration of increase and the to-
tai population
In 1900 we had 75.oo4.575 people. and
in 1910. 1t had increased to 91.97226
per cent. Census officials now decline
to predict as to 1920 further than to
say that the numerical Increase Will

Population Changes.
There were in 1910 47.332,277 males
and ~. 639,9S9 females OF all ages, or
LOG males to 100 females. The total
number Of voters In 1912. two years
later. was 15.022.s27. mainly men. Al
the same ratio, leaving out Of the
computation Colorado. Wyoming, Utah
and other smaller States where women
had the ballot, the number OF women
OF voting age was perhaps 1880. 900.
Assuming that the proportion OF men
to women is the same as in 1910. there
should be at the very least 100000
women voters in 1920.
Whether. or not the newly enfran-
chised voters will vote pretty gem
orally as their fathers, brothers and
husbands vote is something no eau
tious man would venture to predict.
1t is argued that in Chicago. so far
as local elections go. they usually vote
largely that way.
In California. in 1912, the vote be-
tween Republicans and Democrats was
