THE ALTERNATIVE VOTE
Ibfanitoba has just come through a
provincial election, returning the U.
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

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.
