The annexation of Texas in 1S4S
carried the territory of the United
states in which participation could
be had in presidential elections
much farther west than it had ever
extended before. and in the election
of lS4S voters living as far west as
the 1O6th meridian had the right to
cast ballots. Texas was the western
most state for only a brief period.
In 1850 California was admitted to
statehood, the first state separated
by territories from the great group
OF contiguous states. Presidential
suffrage had al last reached the
Pacific coast. Nine years later Ore
gon, touching California on the
north, was annexed. and 1864 Ne
vada was admitted and with the
other two long constituted an island
of statehood in the far west.
Kansas in 1864, Nebraska a few
years later. and Colorado in 1876
carried the main body Of states
closer to the little western group.

1915 there seemed little doubt at
midnight on election day that the
Republican nominee for president
was elected. The outcome was seen
TO depend on California and for
