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.

. ANDES DISCUSSED
SANTIAGO. Sept. 1. (By Mail).
A bill baa been Introduced In tbe
Chilean house of deputies In further
ance of the long discussed project to
build a railway across tbe Andes con
necting Salta, center of a rich agri
cultural region of northers Argen
tina with the Chilean port of Aatofa
gasta. The bill provides that the
contractors would receive a state
guarantee of 6 per cent of the actual
cost ot tbe railway for 15 years after
It Is opened. Tbe cost is estimated
at $16,000,000.
Tbe Chilean newspapers comment
ing on the measure say the rsllway
not only would serve as an outlet to
tbe Pacific for products of northern
Argentina such as sugar, but woi'id
open to exploitation rich mineral re
gions ef northentral Chile.
The only direct mall route now
connecting the two republics is the
trans-Andlno from Los Andes, Chile,
