p. 317. The table is printed as two side-by-side panels sharing the same three column headings; the headings are given once and the right panel's rows (100 to 199 through 1000 and over) follow the left panel's rows (Total through 80 to 99). The "Total" row belongs to the left panel and the right panel has no total row. In the "Percent of total" column the decimal point is lost or nearly invisible in this scan for most cells, which print as e.g. "100 0", "47 6", "15 5", "7 9", "5 0", "3 6", "8 8", "5 8", "2 8"; the last two rows show the point clearly ("1.1", "1.9"). I have transcribed all of them with a decimal point, since the column is plainly one-decimal percentages and the eleven values sum to 100.0. The individual poll counts do sum exactly to the printed total of 46,146 (left panel 36,705 plus right panel 9,441). One minor internal inconsistency as printed: 21,929 of 46,146 is 47.5 percent, not the printed 47.6; transcribed as printed.
