Same Reason Back of
WOnaGn's Vote as That
of Mans, 1t Is Found
Final Analysis Shoes Fair Sex
Supported Increased E1-
Denditures for Schools.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2-In a nnai
analysis of the woman vote in the re-
cent elections the National Woman's
party reaches the conclusion that "wom-
en- apparently voted for the same reasons
and were swayed by the same issues
as men"
According to the analysis, which is to
be published IN the forthcoming issue
Of the Suffragist, information gathered
in the crucial States shows that women
cast from one third to one-hah Of the
total vote.
ain local matters" says the analysis,
women supported increased expendi-
lures for schools for humane purposes
but did not generally initiate any re-
forms.
Women candidates were few and al
most invariably unsuccessful, with the
exception Of a few women elected to
State Legislatures or minor county Of
ices"
When It was pointed out to Alice Paul
today that the conclusions reached are
similar TO those published by the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage. she said:
I'VE contend that the election did not
reflect the attitude Of the women on
the issues IN the caHpblSH' SIHSe bAS!
had no voice in making them and had
no time TO organize for independent ac-
ton Until the women vote acts as an
organized force 1t cannot be clearly IN
terpre;ed"
According to Elmer Taylor Marsh,
assistant editor OF the Sunragist. who
wrote the analysis, IN many localities
the women organized for independent
action and did effective work in county
and State elections.
To illustrate what the woman vote
may accomplish as an organized force
the analysis cites the election OF Nathan
strauss, Jr., Democrat, to the New York
state Senate from a strongly Republican
district. The Woman's Nonpartisan
League opposed the Republican candl-
date on the ground that he was against
progressive legislation.
