PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION SYSTEM OF VOTING EXPLAINED AT LAFAYETTE

League of Women Voters Hears Millard’s Address Hare Plan Already in Use in Elections of Public and Private Bodies.

Walter Millard, field secretary for the Proportiou.il Representation League, spoke Wednesday night before the eon vention of the League of Women Voters In Lafayette, explaining the Hare proportional representation system. He said: “The Hare system of proportional representation, otherwise called ‘proportional representation with the single transferable vote,' is already in use in many parts of the English-speaking world for the election of representative bodies, public and private. The public bodies in the United States using the plan are as follows: Ashtabula, Ohio: Boulder. Colo.; Sacramento. Cal.: West Hartford. Conn., and Cleveland, Ohio. The most notable Instances of its use in other places in the world are all the elections of Ireland, the school boards of Scotland and many city councils in Australia, Ne.v Zealand, Tasmania and Canada. “The Hare system permits, though it does not require, the voter to indicate on his ballot which candidate he wants his one vote to count for in case it cannot help elect the candidate marked ns first choice: which candidate he wants it to count for in case it cannot heirt elect either his first or his second, and so on. The count provides for the car rying out of the voter's wishes expressed in this manner. “The first effect of such provisions is that the voter gives his first choice to the candidate he likes best, regardless of that candidate's chance of election, and provide- against the possibility o| the voter throwing his vote away by allowing him to mark choices for other candidates. The second effect is that the nomination of more candidates than a party can elect doss not 'split the partv vote.* and lose seats for the party. The final upshot of this feature

Our First Year Chapter XXXi X—A Near Quarrel BY A BRIDE.

Never had my temper been so brittle, never had Jack been s-j patient. While he turned the cuffs of his only clean shirt to conceal the frazzled edges he whistled cheerily. But his indifference *o a trying situation, which I might have prevented, did not comfort me. "Not much mad this morning 1" Jack picked up his letters. I did not answer I know perfectly well that my husband was talking merely for talking's sake. Jus! to relieve the tension of the moment. "And no bills—thank the gods"' Jack's last remark quite finished me. although I knew he meant it for a joke. “Bills don't come this time <£— the month"' I snapped. "You'll get a pleuty uhen they do!" "Why Pegging! Darling! What's the matter this morning?” To this question my only answer was a stony glance, just long enough to sethat Jack wore his usual expression when Tic horrid, a grieved, bewildered look. "Peggy, love! It's mean to bother you! I thought you'd know I was only teasing! I'm stupid, sometimes. I guess. But, girl, if I've hurt you. I'ca sorry!” "It's all right, Jack!" I replied in a tone intended to convey the idea that it was decidedly all wrong. I put up my lace to be kissed. "Hurry, dear! I've made you late to your appointment! Now don't make me feel worse about it by being later Jack hugged me close, Mr. Tearle's letter in my blouse crackled sharply. My husband held me at arm's length. laughed "Right over your heart!

of the . Hare system is to make it pos sible for the voters of a party to control t lie party ‘machine' conveniently and without giving to politics more time than can conveniently be given by men and women who seek nothing in politics for themselves.'' Better to explain the system. Mr. Millard then held a model election having those present vote and assist him in counting the ballots. “One of the features of the election is that no primary is required, for the preferential system of the Hare system brings together the ballots of likeiuinded voters far more effectively than a primary ean do. so as to elect from each element or party those candidates that are really preferred by Its voters,” Mr. Millard said ‘The candidates are nominated by petition and after the voters have voted by expressing preferences the number necessary to elect a candidate is discovered. If thee are seven to be elected this i> roughly one seventh A candidate with more than enough to cieit him has his ballots in excess transferred each one to the nut available i hoiee marked on it The desired candidates are defeated in turn and their ! allots transferred one after the other iin r n seven piles remain, en h of which represents a quota of voters which i< unanimous under th circumstances in wanting that candidate. It thus sub stttutes election by a unanimous constituency. for election by a gei.gr.ipHi M constituency such as the ward system nets up. This unanimous constituency can live over a= wide an area and have as wide an jgt. r-a as when the 'bin. k vote' system is used ” Mr Millard used this wsfem of to*. :ng in the regular annual election today, when seven directors at large, to s rve thr-e years, were cletced.

Inch by niih for eight feet it progressed: then progress ceased, while the plow ahead shrilled the trlpie signal to back up.

The ADVENTURES of Raggedy Raggedy Ann and Andy Mfk By JOHNNY QRUELLE fjjYfPtL^

“Where do all the little, teeny weeny meadow Fairies and elves live in the winter time when the meadow is covered with deep snoxv?" Raggedy Andy asked Gram pie Hoppy toad. "Oli, if you could just look down ie neath the snow- when It lies deep upon the meadow." Grample Hoppytoad laughed, "You would sec what a lovely place it is to live In. When the snow lies deep upon the meadow, the grasses bend over with the weight of the snow anil all down beneath are the tiny paths ami roadways of the meadow creatures. The snow, being over all. keeps the keen cold winds from sweeping up the tiny paths and it is nice and warm and just as cozy as can be. Os course, some of the Fairies fly away when the birds leave in the fall, but most of the Fairies and Elves stay here all winter. Some of tlie Fairies have homes down in the ground, and of course have little fireplaces so that when the little meadowcreatures get cold like they sometimes do when there is not a canopy of snoxv to protect their paths, then the little Fairies, or Elves Invite the little creatures in to live xvith them In a little Fairy, or Elfin house, with a cosy fire going and everyone sitting about sewing, or playing games, or singing, then's xvhen they have fun!" "How pretty it must be xvith the pure white snow all above the little houses and streets!" said Raggedy Ann, her shoe button eyes dancing xxith the thought. "Indeed, it is lovely!" Grample Hoppytond replied. "Wh-n the sun shines u lten the t"p of the snow, then .he little holmes and streets seem as if made of gold!” "Yes, sir!" Grampie Hoppytoad continued. "Tike last, winter, tor instance, I usually get pretty irowsy when ii begins to get. cold, and sometimes I go to sleep out on one of the paths I did last winter!" he laughed. "And xviica

And that Is what I've tried to do. TO NORTHAMI'VON TO ENTER SMITH. In the days when 1 went off to Northampton to enter Smith, my father's work brought our family East, and so my first vacation was spent in Boston, a terrifyingly large and impersonal place to the girl who was used to hnxing ail tho neighbors call her "Lillian" and send over a batch of preserves or cookies or hot biscuits as casually as Boston seemed to pass by unseeing. But ! came to love the austere kindness and the large opportunity of Bos- i ton. and it prepared me for the larger velw of New York itself.

But the loving desire to give I saw offered so simply then are still my Inspiration. And as 1 read the ories for help and understanding which come in each day's mail, I never forget that what [ learned from selfless, generous Interest and aid is the simple fact that we are all brothers and sisters and n-ed each other all onr days. Several years ago. one of America's great theatrical producers told me that I must find a tremendous lot of dramatic material in my day's mail. "Yon ought to write a great play based on your letters." he said. But I shook, my head. And I go on shaking it. For the day s mail is sacred , confidence. The problems brought to tne are as eiose to my heart as if they were my own. And one doesn't write with j heart's blood!

I I awakened I did not know where I was for a xvhilo.

He lived down beneath file great stone in i lie center of the meadow ami no one. had ever beem near his place that.

"I guess he tried to change you into something and couldn't." said Andy. "No. sir, rcc, hob!" Grampie Hoppytoad ansxvcred. “When I snored, Ilinkie Pinkie brought a nice soft blanket and xvrapped me up ni"e anil comfy, "idler" you are,' he said to me. ‘and you will soon £et over that cold.'

The tlreing of one muscle w ill often tire others, thus bringing about complete bodily exhaustion. Tight clothing will always aid in tiring j one quickly, for it will check the func- ; tiou of the arteries in bringing their; proper supply of energy to the tiring; muscles. One grade of gasoline will give the automobile engine more power and on : durance than another and so some forms of food will supply more energy than others. Sugar, though not advisable as : a steady diet, is immediately converted j Into energy.

Working steadily, but not too fast, the j muscles hfive the chance to throw off the j refuse products, at tho same time | bringing in new fuel or energy for fur- j ther work.

BELGIAN WOMAN , ON U. S. VISIT , PRAISES Y, W. C. A. Countess TTAlviella Tells of Needs of Women in Her Country. BY CONSTANCE | WASHINGTON, May. 11.—One of the most interesting personalities in YY’ashingtou at the moment os Countess Helene Goblet P'Alvieila, who recently ar rived from Brussels. Tall and athletic looking, reminding one of our own college women a few years after graduation, she gix-es the impression of being the Ideal person lo start group movements along American lines among Belgian women. For that is what Countess P'Alvieila is doing. She came over specially to attend tlis national convention of the Y'. M. C. A. recently held at Hot Springs. Ark., and is staying on in Washington as the guest of friends. This is her first trip to this country, although her mother was a Miss Packard of Albany. That is why she speaks perfect English. Her father xvas a member of King Albert's cabinet during the war. though a minister without portfolio. Now he is still a special counsellor to the King, to be called upon in emergenj cies. - "Hoxv did you happen to become In- | tcrested in the American program for I developing womanhood such as the Y. ! W. C. A. is establishing in foreign countries as well as in America?” I asked I Countess P'Alvieila. "For the first three years of the war I i was in Belgium during the German ooi cupation and then escaped to Francs ! xvith my parpnts." she explained. “Thera I it was arranged that I should give talks |to both British and American soldiers i in Y. M. C. A. huts on the subject of I the German occupation. Most of the 'times I xvas put up at Y. W. C. A. hosess houses and that is hoxv I came to ; knoxv of the splendid work of that or-i : ganlzation." * After the armistice the French Gov. : eminent asked the Y, M. C. A. to start ■ educational classes and recreational | courses for the girl munition workers land for women employes of the Ministry i of YY'ar. From there the movement spread : into Belgium. Now as a matter of fact, S there is scarcely a country in the world t but has its American Young YVomeiij ■ Christian Association workers teaching ‘the rudiments of civic responsibility 'and group interests so xvell developed in this country. “And hoxv xve need it in Belgium.* \ explained Mademoiselle P'Alvieila. “YY'a ; are still in the kindergarten and I hope i it will be possible for us to retain the i three American ‘Y’ secretaries we noxv ' have." There are now five centers in Belgium, txvo in Brussels, oae In Antwerp, one in Mens and one in Y’erviers. Countess P'Alvieila is in chaere of one in Brussels. The three American secretaries are Flore ip 4 Risley. IL Babsley and Alice Sterrus. “Without axvakening this* group responsibility and an interest in civic duties Belgian women won't cx’en care to 1 vote. That i3 to say, there is no actix-e campaign for xx-oman suffrage in Belgium because so few Belgian xvomen understand what their participation in pub- : lie affairs xx-ould moan not only to them but to their country. They still think of woman suffrage in terms of* women usurping the role of men and smashing windows to attract public attention.” Hoxx-ever. what rights of suffrage the Belgian xvomen have they are obliged to exercise. That is to say municipal suffrage was granted about a year ago. | and as there is obligatory voting iu Bel- " gin n>. women as well as men ox-er twentyone had to vote. Citizens’ lists were checked up after the elections and those who did not vote were fined. It seem* that in Belgium the Liberal and Socialist parties are against woman suffrage because of the influence of the Catholic religion on women, xx-hlie the Catholic party favors it for that very reason.— Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company.
