the unwillingness Of women to
change administrations while
their men-folk were at war.
Because we have a secret bal
lot, 1t is impossible to know
with statistical accuracy how
the women Of the country voted.
The narrow margin between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Dewey
would indicate that women
voted for both, but 1t would be
interesting, il 1t were possible,
to know in what proportions,
because women grow increas-
ingly dominant In the political
life of America.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt won by
an overwhelming and decisive
vote, larger than he received in
1910, il would have been pos
sible to draw broader conclu-
sion as to how the women voted.
As IL is, with a bare 5000. 900
plurality for Mr.. Roosevelt, this
election is inconclusive on any
issues before the American
people.
