568 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION Gl. 



To those familiar with the electoral reform movement of the 

 present day it is merely necessary to say that what is here proposed 

 is practically the Hare scheme without the quota and without the 

 tedious process of sui'plus distribution. It is, in fact, the Hare scheme 

 shorn of all its tedious complicated details. But, at the same time, it 

 is but right to claim for the scheme now proposed that it furnishes 

 a much more refined and accurate representation of the weights of 

 pai-ties than can possibly be- obtained by any scheme of quota repre- 

 sentatives with districts retui'ninsf not more than six members.
