T HIS STUDY is a modest attempt to add to the growing supply of information concerning voting behavior and to do so by the comparatively inexpensive method of analyzing election returns. It may be granted that when this method requires correlation with ecological data it seems less exact and reliable than the sample survey as a means of learning how individuals in various economic, social, or ethnic groups have voted.1 However, the purpose for which election returns are herein analyzed avoids the hazards of ecological correlation. This purpose, assuredly a limited one, is to study the relationship, if any, between the size of place in which voters live and their party preference. No more serious methodological problem is encountered than that of classifying and then laboriously tabulating the returns according to the size of place in which the votes were cast.2
