Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXV CONCLUSION From the preceding pages it will have been gathered that universal suffrage is the goal, both in theory and in practice, of government to-day. The powers which still tend to restrain the franchise are ever loosening their grip, and the war has dealt almost irresistible blows against the chief citadels of autocracy. It is both futile and foolish to strive to retard the progress of democracy in elections, for there is no tenable argument wherefore any part of society, with the exception of criminals and the mentally deficient, should be entirely segregated from political life, and, further than that, the classes hitherto excluded are well aware of that fact. There are, no doubt, valid reasons for depriving certain inhabitants of the state of the right to vote. No one questions the exclusion of minors and the insane. Certain states seek to prevent clerical or military domination by disfranchising members of the clergy, or of the army on active service. It was once an accepted theorem that paupers and bankrupts might not vote, because they contributed nothing to the financial strength of the state, but were rather liabilities. But the socialist criticism of this distinction has at last found practical application in the Soviet Republic of Russia, which allows all the proletariat to vote and disfranchises only the bourgeoisie. With the progress of education the justification for a literacy test is vanishing, as it is recognized that disfranchisement for that reason often means the perpetuation of illiteracy, as is the case in Hungary. The unmistakable tendency of the present age towards complete universal suffrage is evidenced by the statement of that principle in the constitutions of most of the new states founded...

Excerpt from How the World Votes, Vol. 1 of 2: The Story of Democratic Development in Elections The war and the defeat of the Hohenzollern have assured the victory of democracy, not merely in the wider sense, but in the more narrow field of elections. With the acquisition of universal suffrage in Great Britain and the passing of the old Prussian system, a definite milestone on the road of political evolution has been reached. Henceforth we enter upon a new stage - that of assuring the safety and the usefulness of democracy and the democratic suffrage. With that latter stage of the future this book is not primarily concerned. It deals with the earlier process, the development of a popular electoral franchise, first in Great Britain, then in the United States, and finally in all the important countries of the world. The process has been delayed in eastern and central Europe and denatured in the Iberian peninsula and South America; but the main thesis of the book is nevertheless the continuous growth of the people's control as expressed at the polls. The authors have laid emphasis upon the Anglo-Saxon countries and France alike, because of the natural direction of American interests and because of the importance of the growth of an electoral democracy in these countries. They have also given to many of their chapters an historical character, for it seemed profitable to investigate the origins of the British and American systems, and to linger somewhat over the details of early elections in Great Britain and the United States.
