v , PA(n TWO 'TOMMY, mcraCNBKIt M, ISM THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON t Tx is M .r,J3 WEN'S VOTE WILLSWIHB 1920 ELECTION WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. About 9,000,000 women wilt vote In the .November election and titer undoubt- dlr nold the balance of political power. This statement It baaed on a computation made from the worn an'a vote In the Maine election. About 80,000 women voted In the Maine election. Dated upon the cen sus ot 1910 that number la 32 per cent of tho number of women 21 years of age who live In Maine. The Maine women number, according to the 1910 census, 248,309. In the United States, according to the latest census statistics, there are 2,83.G66 women of voting age. If 'the ratio ot 32 per cent which existed la tho Maine election prevails in all the states, and It probably will as women .generally will want to vote for the first time, there will bo In the November election an aggregato woman vote of 8,602,741, or nearly Bine millions. In the northern states the percentage probably will be high er, and In the southern states lower because In the "solid south" the ne gro Is largely disfranchised, and the negro women will receive the "same political discrimination In that sec tion. But the nation's average prob ably will be about St per cent, which will give nine millions. Similar statistics show that, there are 19,577,890 men of voting age In the UaKed- States. In the presiden tial election of 1916 there were cast 18,528,742 ballots, Ct per cent of the total male population 21 years otage. It can hardly be expected that so large a percentage of thy women will vote, but It may be "safely said that at least 32 per cent of them will. Therefore It Is evident to all ob servers that the women bow hold the balance of political power. In the Mala election about 75 per cent of the women voted tho republican ticket. If that percentage should prevail In all tho states north ot tho Mason and Dixon lino and In the west a republican lamllilo ot unprece dented magnltudo should occua, That landslide la confidently expected by tho republican managers and Indeed In Washington la practically already acknowledged by democratic observ ers. Ilat it will not require 75 percent of the nine million women voting the republican ticket to cause a landslide to Harding and. Coolldge. It 32 per cent ot the woman voters In New York participate In the elec tion It will add nearly a million votes In the Kmplre state. In 1918 Hughes carried Now York by more than 100,000, tho total vote being 1,706, 354. Had tho women voted then a 100,00 plurality would have been increased sovoral times over. In Pennsylvania a 32 per cent ratio would have added nearly "GO,- 000 woman's votes to tbo total ot nearly 1,300,000 cast for Hughes In 1916. Hughes carried Pennsylvania by 181,950, or about one-fourth of the women votes that may bo cast In Pennsylvania In November. Wilson carried Ohto In 1916 by 89,503. In Ohio If the 32 per cent ratio occurs nearly half a million women will vote eleven times Wil son's plurality In 1916. There can bo no question but that the women now' hold the key to tbo national political situation and can throw victory to republicans or dem ocrats. Judging from the way they voted In the Maine election It would seem that a great majority of the newly enfranchised citlsens are pre paring to line up throughout the country, except In the south, for Harding and Coolldge. Every Intelligent observer must agree that the result In Maine was a complete repudiation of the League ot Nations by the women, and a tre mendous republican victory, which Is omenous of democratic defeat In November. Women can Justly claim a great share of .the victory la Maine. Had the women voted for the League the victory would have- been equally significant of democratic victory In November. J. -Sw. A.
