Abstract
Fluctuations in the percentage of the voters voting for a particular political party at presidential elections have been increasing greatly since the beginning of the century, but no such trend was observable in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This trend seems to indicate a growth among voters of independence from party. The counties that have had the greatest increase in percentage of independent voters so measured since 1920 have been those (a) with the largest percentage of young voters, (b) the largest proportion of men, (c) the smallest percentage of native-born citizens of native-born parents, (d) the largest percentage of city people, (e) the most rapid growth, (f) the highest plane of living, (g) the least increase in wages, and (h) the most extensive practice of independent voting in the past.
