F.M, administration under the leader- ship of Mr. Bracken, by practically them sae majority. It is noticed that the Conservative party made quite a gain in the province, pining three or four seats. This is the first election to be held in Canada, on the alterna- tive vote plan, which, did not .finally change the standing of any candidate from first reports. As there has been considerable newspaper discussion of tate years about. adopting some such sox g scheme throe hout,.the Dominion, the following editorial front the Gotderich Sinal" may have a local interest. u 'Everybody who ,is interested in pol- itics is familiar with the 'procedure the choosing of candidates at party c conventions, 'A number of persons arc proposed; a ballot is taken; the. person receiving the lowest Vote is dropped, and another ballot is taken; and. this procedureis ontinued until onlytwo nominees are left. Tlib fin- al vote is then taken, and' the winner is definitely known to have the sup- port of the majority of the conven- tion. ' The "alternative vote," as proposed for election contests in which more than two candidates go to the poll, is simply a means of obtaining the same result as that for which the suc- cessive votes are taken at a conven- tion, namely, to find the man who has a majority of the voters behind hint. It is impraetirable, in the case of an election to Parliament, to take a series of ballots as in a convention where all the parties are gathered in w one room; the alternative vote aims to reach a similar' decisive result by one ballot. The present situation in North Huron, where several candi- dates have presented themselves, may lti��yatka Jttd-d Iih.NALVe,uu Olua, .nr�JLJ 11' be used as an illustration obthe work- ing of ,the alternative vote. Suppose the five men already nam- ed go to the ,poll. Each voter, if the alternative vote were in use, would be aslced to mark 'the names on his 'ballot in the order of his preference. for instance, one ballot might be marked thus:. Allen ......_ i Spotton ....___ 2 Hislop ..,.. _ 3 Cosens ». -- 4 \ Bricker That would be the ballot of a Con- servative, an admirer of the Dungan- non man (Allen),- Failing the elec- t' oti of his first favorite, he would like to. see Spotton, the other Con- servative on the ballot, elected; and if he coup; not have Spotton he would rather have the Liberalcan- dilate (Hislop) xthan the independent n) , or the United Farmer. This of course is merely an illustration.' Suppose 1o,00o. voters go to the polls and the ballots as marked for the first p?eference are found to num- ber as follows (for purposes of we are are placin g the names of tratiotx placing the candidates in alphabecal order): Allen ............ ..; .._..- 2500 Bricker 2302 Cosens, 2100 • Hislop 1:800 Spotton Isoo 10,000 , In counting the ballots the low man (Spotton) would, be eliminated, and Ills ballots would be given to the can- didates marked "2" on these, 1300 bal- lots. The second count might be: Allen.. .... 2600 Bricker 2700 Cosens .;:.,... - . 2500 Hislop , • .. •. . 2200 • 10.,000 1i.s101s's ballot: s• would 'then be dis- tribute':l among the remaining -three, according as they should. be marked, and the .third, count might be: Allen 3000 Bricker 3200 Cosens .µ 3800 10,000 Cosens has made a big advance, but still he has not a majority. Alien would be eliminated, and the fourth count might be: Bricker rr ..: _ 4800 Cosens ...... ......... ..... 5200 10,000' This would be the final count. Cos - ens with 52oo„,.„votes would have a clear majority and would be declared. elected. Though only" 2100 voters named hint as their first favorite, .5,- 200 voters indicated that they want- ed hind in preference to any of, the others. This is just whdt is done at a dominating convention. If a Bele- gate sees that he Cannot get his own particular favorite nominated, he switches to somebody else; there is no surety that the man who heads the poll on the first ballot is going to get the nomination. With our pres- ent system of Parliamentary .elec- tions, however, the man who heads the . poll is declared elected, `though he may have considerably less than a 'majority of the votes.
