The electorate is becoming more and more of a mystery to the dopesters. The corner saloon is gone, and there is no political dope-shop to take its place. The women's vote is utterly incalculable. Increasingly of late years the voters have shown their complete indifference to the editorial views of their favorite newspapers, and newspaper opinion is no longer a safe yardstick. Straw votes indicate a surprising strength for a president who has not dared to name the Ku Klux Klan or speak his mind on a single important issue but straw votes are almost always taken among the more prosperous sections of the population.
