		Prior to 1908, the voice of a Presidential candidate would be heard from the back of a campaign train or on a rare dedication of a monument or park.
		These elections were a major stepping stone for the public, the Presidency and of course the now indispensible phonograph, born from the mind of America's greatest inventor.
		Wilson won the election that the Phonograph had brought to the people (much more so than 1908) by allowing the public to hear the candidates in their own words.

		Thus, when absolute vote cast is analyzed, the elections of 1908, 1916, 1924 and 1932 indicate a strong upward or major beat and the 1912 and 1920 elections produce the downward or minor beat.
		The elections of 1908 and 1932 follow periods of economic stress and the elections of 1916 and 1924 are in the midst of periods of business activity.
		For each election beginning with 1904 and continuing through the election of 1930, the counties were ranked from the one having the largest population to the one having the smallest, and in a second analysis they were ranked on the basis of voting population.

	Voting in Kansas, 1900-1932, by Charles H. Titus
		The analysis of the contests for election to the United States house of representatives is limited to the period 1904-1930.
		The behavior pattern for the election of governor is a "W" eightyear cycle pattern-the outer wings of the "W" being elongatedwhile the pattern for the election of President is a "V" eight-year cycle pattern superimposed over the "W" (v).
		In measuring and analyzing the votes cast for governor and for congressmen, as was the case with the President, the results further validate the suggestion that the rule of voting behavior-the larger the population and the voting population of the political unit, the smaller the relative vote cast-may be universal in extent.
