Said Todd after the election, "I always estimated the illiberal outlook in this country as one-third of the population. Now it seems to be 50%. That's a sinister thing." Victorious Sir Edgar Whitehead indicated that his forces had studied the election returns. He announced that the reforms opening the voting rolls to some 10,000 Africans would stay, but certain unskilled jobs would continue to be reserved for poor whites as he had pledged during the campaign.
