The article presents an interpretation of the recent municipal elections in France. No Men and Women under twenty-nine in had ever cast a vote before, younger men were not yet twenty-one at the time of the last elections. Certain groups had feared that the women, far more than the men, would be influenced by the Catholic church or swayed by emotional appeals. With the exception of Paris, where proportional representation was tried out for the first time, the elections were conducted by the old double-balloting system; unless a candidate received a dear majority on the first ballot, a second was taken. The Socialist Party recommended that wherever possible its various local groups run a straight Socialist ticket.
