Figures That Show Citizens Do Not Exercise Privilege to Its Fullest Extent, SPECULATE AS TO. FUTURE (From a Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 4.—(Special.)— What will be the total vote cast for president of the United States next Tuesday? Is popular interest in the quad- rennial political contest sufficiently animated to increase the vote this year? What are the evidences in re- cent years by which one may judge of the measure of esteem in which the ballot is held? What has been the trend of clection history? When was the highest vote in proportion to pop- ulation cast—when the smallest? An effort carefully and intelligent to answer these questions in suc| a way as to afford enlightenment, answering them in the broad light of statistical facts, is fraught wi | ex- tremely interesting considerations. That they suggest and involve prob- lems highly important to the gencral welfare no man can doubt who values his responsibility as a citizen of the United States, Not a few thoughtful citizens who have seripusly concerned themselves with what these questions import have concluded that the highest develop- ment of our form of government can come only from compulsory voting, and that the surest sign and fact of national decadence is when there is eneral national neglect of the ballot. he reflection has come first of all from the fact that for more than a generation the proportion of voters on to population has steadily declined the decrease being not only in geneui elections, but in state elections. Voters Disappoint Students. Four years ago it was commonly estimated the vote would be over 17,- 000,000. That estimate fell short of the result quite 2,000,000, The total of 15,036,542, cast that year, was 2,- 500,000 less than the number of native male whites of a voting nge in the population of the United States, ac- cording to the census of 1910. It was nearly 12,000,000 less at the same time than the male population of the voting age, including natives, foreign-born and colored. With the great three- cornered contest between Taft, Roose- velt and Wilson; a bitter struggle for the mastery of the republican part between Taft and Roosevelt; witl Wilson as a bright particular star in the political firmament; with the socialist candidate, Debs, making an unusually vigorous canvass; with the prohibition candidate, Chafin, in mili- tant mood and prohibition growing in area and power throughout the states —with these men and with a plethora of measures of profound public inter- est, not to say, novel attractiveness— it seemed quite reasonable to expect that the largest vote ever cast for resident would be polled in Novem- er, 1912, But the result was strik- ingly different. It was less in pro- portion to the population than an vote since and including that of 1876, The combined votes of Taft and Roosevelt, which was 7,604,463, was 73,015 less than that cast for Taft in 1908. It was 14,934 less than that cast for Roosevelt in 1904, when he de- feated Parker, his democratic op- ponent by a plurality of 2,531,703, The vote for Wilson, 6,293,019, was 112,566 less than that cast for Bryan in 1908, The Taft vote in 1908 was the highest ever cast for a republican candidate for president; that for Bryan, in 1896, the highest ever cast for a democrat. In 1912 the vote for the socialist can- didate, Debs, was 901,873, an increase over 1908 of 480,951, or 114 per cent. The vote for the prohibition candidate Chafin, showed a decided falling off for that party—10 per cent. Proportion to Population. An examination of the table helow will show by population, year and vote, the decline of the exercise of suffrage the last forty years, includ- ing ten presidential elections. Pet. of Year.

When the Darkies Could Vote. Analysis of the votes of the states in successive presidential elections will disclose quite enough to entertain the curiously statistical, It will show that nearly all of the southern states cast their highest percentage of votes to the population forty years ago. It was at the election of 1876, which was before the adoption by those states of constitutional resfrictions upon suffrage qualification, when soon thereafter the negro voter became less and less a factor in results, and in the size of the vote practicully disap- peared. The states casting highest votes in other years were: 1880, Maine, Pennsylvania and Vermont; 1884, Oregon; 1882, Kansas,- Min- nesota, New York, Tennessee and Virginia; 1892, Massachusetts, New Jetsey and Rhode Island; 1896, Colo- rado, Connecticut, inois, Indian» Towa, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Texas and Wisconsin; 1900, Michigan, Ohio, NorthDalkota South Dakota and West Virginia; 1904, Utah; 1908, Delaware, Missouri, Nebraska, Wyoming; 1912, California, Idaho and Wyoming. + The lowest votes and the years were: 1876, Illinois, Indiana, = Ne- braska and Rhode Island; 1880, Ken- tucky, West Virginia and Delaware; 1892, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming; 1904, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas; 1908, Alabama, Massachusetts, Vermont and Wash- ington. The year 1912 was as notably the year of the lowest vote in the states as 1896 was the highest. The low record in 1912 was made by Con- necticut, Georgia, Maryland, Min- nesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsy!- vania, South Carolirta, South Dakota, Tennessce, Texas, Virginia and Wis- consin, Maine an Illustration. Maine furnishes among the states the latest illustration of the esteem of the ballot. The vote cast there in 1912 showed a percentage of 17.3, which was less than its own average of 17.4 and less than the average for the United States of 17.9. The vote cast this year, October 11, showed a percentage of 19.6, which was the largest since 1880, when the average was 22.1. erybody knows what an intense struggle was waged to carry Maine by the two parties. Naturally a heavy vote should have been cast. Anything like approximating Maine's percentage of votes to population for the rest of the country at next Tues- day’s election would bring. the total vote for president to over 20,000,000, But such a result is wholly unlikely. hown in the table given, the trend is distinctly downward, most notably 50 in a group of states whose absten- ion from use of the ballot more than cts the gain obtained from the states having woman suffrage. This is particularly true of the southern states havinz a large negro popula- tion and in which suffrage qualifica- tion has practically in the mass elim- inated that element. Another table, showing the highest percentage and the lowest, with the average for the ten presidential elec- tions from 1876, will properly supple- ment the exhibit for the United States, including the percentages for 1912: Hieh. “Low. 13, Av.

In the eleven states with large negro populations, the old “secession states” of Virginia, North Clrolgnl, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, with a population of 23,073,603, polled for Wilson 1,554,708, while New York state alone, with a population of 9, 482,126 polled 1,587,983; percentage for the "eleven southern ' states, .07; for New York, 157. These eleven southern states voted in proportion to the population at the ten presi- denital elections as follows for the democratic candidates: For Tilden in_ 1876, .1927; for Hancock, 1880, 1776; for Cleveland, 1884, .1566; for Cleveland, 1888, .1524; for Cleveland, 1892, ,1308; for Bryan, 1896, .1325i for Bryan, 1900, .1017; for Parker, 1904, .0705; for Bryan, 1908, .0775; for Wil- son, 1912, 0972, Middle West Votes Most. Analysis of the presidential vote in the last ten elections shows also that the middle-western states have in- variably been the most constant patrons of the ballot box. For ex- ample, the middle-western states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinoi Wisconsin and Iowa have invariably, in proportion to population, voted above the average percentage for the United States, The New England states are slightly below, the average. The southern states are now about half the average, 'The western states having woman suffrage have reatly raised the average percentage for the union. The state that has so far polled the largest vote in roportion to population is Colorado, which polled 38.8 per cent in 1896, The high record for other woman suffrage states that have included women in the voting so far shows 356 for Idaho; 33.6, Utah; 27.4, Washington; 27, Wyoming; 26.3, California. Wom- en have voted in Kansas, but not yet for president. They voted two years ago for congressmen, and the result shows that they raised the highest percentage of 24.6 for that state to over 29.6. What About This Year, The question recurs, what will be the total vote cast for president this year? There would seem to be good ground for expecting an increase, on account, at least, of the large ac- cession of women voters, The percentage of Arizona’s vote without woman suffrage in 1912 was 10.17; in 1914 in the vote for gover~ nor it was 21.5, Colorado’s vote for president in 1892, prior to woman suffrage, was 21.3; in 1896, with wom- am Au?frage. it was 388, Idaho raised her average percentage, with woman suffrage added, from 222 to 34.4; Oregon from 188 to 31.9. The votes of women have added from 12 to 15 per cent to the former average vote, Looking at the election figures for the last forty years and facing frank- ly conditions as they appear, there is no escaping the conclusion that the interest of the body politic in the af- fairs that most intimately concern it, as expressed by the ballot, is so lack- ing in substantial manifestation as to cause serious misgivings in many quarters. This is a fact, notwith- standing the time and thought and la- bor given by lawmakers to the preser- vation of the rights that attach to the exercise of suffrage. The demands for remedies have been generally an- swered, as may he seen in the Aus- tralian ballot “system, qualifications to exclude elements that are ignorant or vicious, through corrupt practices and camfnign publicity measures. In spite of these well-meaning endeavors, popular appreciation of the signifi- cance and sacredness of the ballot is anything but a theme for felicitation for the patriotic citizen. Class that Always Votes. Yet everybody observant knows that those whose voting is the least de- sirable are surest to go to the polls working for their own interests, or paid to do so for others, while the industrious mechanic, the laborious farmer, the man of study, the mer- chant and the professional man, all who really form the sinew and sub- stance of the state shirk the discharge of his suffrage duty as a sacrifice he cares not to make and does not have to make. Yet here are people to whom the security of society is the greatest stake. Never was there a time in our his- tory when the ballot was more im- portant, more valuable for all the aims of society. There were never so many officers to administer so many laws. The choice of government officers at the polls, who have to appoint other officers and agents of the government, having to deal with problems of trans- ortation and with everything that af- ects the live-and-let-live principle of our institutions imposes a graver re- sponsibility than ever and exacts a duty which demands conscientious discharge. The recreancy of the rep- resentative who shirks his duty in legislative halls is no worse than the indifference of the stay-at-home-voter, whom nothing can move but compen- sation in money or personal favor. How to Make Them Vote. Some there are who discern compul- sory voting on the way to remedy the evil. Governor David B. Hill, over twenty years ago in a message to the New York legislature advocating com- pulsory voting, quoted an ordinance assed at Southampton, on Long sland, in 1643, which declared that citizens “must” vote one way or an- other “and not be neuter.” The pub- lic acts of colonial Virginia for 1705 includes this clause: “Every freeholder actually resident in each county shall appear and vote at such election or forfeit 200 pounds of tobacco, etc.” > Various punitive remedies have been suggested at different times, such as fines to be paid before the voter can again cast a ballot, with dis- franchisement to follow persistent ab- sention from voting. The interesting suggestion has been made of a person- al tax which shall be remitted in part when the voter produces a certificate in proper form to show that he has voted, Advocates of compulsory vot- ing advance earnest arguments to im- el the citizen to do his duty. Public usiness is the voter's business. Com pulsory voting is in the interest of gublic nleconomy. It ufmuld ‘r‘e'lntly ro‘- uce the expenses of campaigns an elections, Governor Hill pointed that ?gg'o u} the New‘ Yhork legislature t . In many of the rural communi ties hundreds of voters Iubitulk have remained away from the until induced to go there for money, which ostensibly they expect to get to compensate them for time lost from their occupations. Many of these same people would walk to town on foot to see a circus or other show who could be got to the polls, like as not, save in an automobile, and paid for it, too, in money. The step to taking a bribe from this condition is as easy as alighting from the vehicle that hauls the voter. The great need is held by the advocates of compulsory voting to get intelligence and educative influence to the polls, The ignorant and vicious, they claim, least need incentive, for it is at the polls they reach the acme of their personal importance. What evidence is there of popular value of sul save in the number of votes cast. It numbers, after all, that make the qual- ity in elections, The most ignorant voter's ballot is worth just as much as that of the best and wisest. There is no judging of the measure of esteem for the ballot except in the proportion it is used by the body of citizens en- titled to use it. Outlook Not Encouraging. Will there be a greater manifesta- tion of interest this year than usual, a larger participation in suffrage. There are abundant reasons why there should be, but there are, on the other hand, causes that are contrary. The trend of the body politic's expedience is not to that effect. It is a campaign, too, that is unprecedented®in various ways. The issues are so numerous to bewilder the ordinary mind, It a year in which example in M’h position have avoided controversy for the sake of maintaining neutrality, Like as not, many a voter will abstal from a partisan ballot for the same reason. Most probably a lar, e, num- ber of voters will stay away from the olls because they feel they can be etter and more agreeably “occupied attending to their own personal af- fairs rather than the business of the public. With that sort of thing more and more reducing the popular vote, the time approaches when this may become a government of a few of the people by a few of the people for . a few of the people. And the rest of the people will be badly fosled. On the whole, there is no indication that points to an increase in the presidential vote this year, The reg- istration figures do not indicate it Lack of animation and a too widely prevalent apathy and disinclination to risk judgment on uncertain appear- ances seem to indicate that the per- centage of the vote to the opulation of the United States will ge smaller than ever, “BonMy Bunch and Worth Giving a t.ooksee Good comedy, spicy dancing and catchy songs put entertainment into “The New Bon Tons” show, which opened for the week last night at the Gayety theater, Lester Allen, the dynamo of the company, is versatile as well as clever.
