The Model Election qf 1908. (28 Martin's Lane, Cauca Street.
2d.)—This is a statement of the very imports# 14Wd valuable experiment, conducted by the Society for Proportios,s1 Representation, which, as our readers will remember, was tried in November last. The election proved a very great cameos, aud. the process is here explained and justified, and the results are given. The difficulty in this particular experiment was in the selection of candidates. This must always occur in a theoretical election. It would disappear in an actual election, where one is looking, not for the absolute, but for the relative best. The writer of this notice owns that he did not care to vote for any one of the twelve. But he would doubtless vote for much inferior candidates in real life. We sincerely hope that those of our readers who are uot yet informed on this most important subject will road the account of the election. If it does not convert those opposed to proportional representation, it will at least show that the plea that it is "impossible" Cannot be maintained. The address of the Proportional Representation Society, from whose seorotary explanatory literature may be obtained, is 28 Martin's Leese, Cannon Street, E.C.—With this we may mention Representatfos, the journal of the Proportional Representation Society (14.) Mr. Westlake sketches a scheme for redistribution.
