Mr. Craig- Suggest a That The Independent
Conduct an Kxpariiucntal Election
on the) Choieo for President
(The letter below is valuable, Inas
much as it explains the practical oper
ation of the Hare system of preferen
tial voting. This was also explained
fully by' Mr. Wakefield m a series of
articles in The Independent some
months ago. It points out one of the
things "which should not be over
looked in the event that the St. Louis,
meeting decides to' nominate "candi-j
aates by direct vote. ; it could be ue
termined at that meeting that the bal
lots should be prepared and scut out
by tho . national committee to every;
enrolled member of the people's party.
And that printed 1n the ballot should
be the names of all candidates for
either president or-vice president who
should first be nominated by, say, at
least as many persons as would con
stitute a' majority in the electoral col
lege. Space should also be provided
for writing in at 'least two names.
Then It could be i decided that the
first candidate to receive the nomina
tion should be the candidate of the
people's party for .president and that
the second should be the candidate for
vice-, president. ,
For the preeent, The Independent
has not the time to conduct such an
election. The enrollment of the Old
Guard ; bf . Populism , is a b'g enough
contract just now. 'Mr Craig says:)
Editor Independent: I would sug
gest jtbatyou might conduct an experi
mental Selection through your paper,
or on a larger scale if icsirei, to de
termine the. reaU choice of populists
for a candidate. for president.
The Hare system . of preferential
voting to be used. ! Quite a number of
candidates, say' 8, to 12, may be nom
inated, and all names printed on one
ballot and sent, out to the readers of
The Independent. ,
The paper might require candidates
to receive signatures from, say, five
persons who intend to vote for the
nominee as first choice. Say five can
didates are , nominated. ; ,;,
,2. Longfellow, -f'--
4. Lowell; , , -
1. Bryant,
3. Holmes.
5. Whittier, , .
The voter makes 1 before the can
didate of his first choice;, 2 before his
second choice, etc., marking all or ail
but one or two of the nominees in the
order of his choice.
If in this illustration Bryant should
receive a majority of all first votes
cast he would be the nominee and
that would be the end of the matter.
If, however, he received but a few
first votes and none of the candidates
received a maiority of 1 first choice
voltes, -Bryant might be the lowest on
the poll, and he would be first de
clared out of the count, his votes go
ing to number 2, on each ballot, and
so distributed. The next lowest is then
taken up and eliminated in like man
ner; if he have second choice voles
these go to number 3 or 4, etc.
When all but two candidates are
out, the leader of theso two is the
nominee and has the concurrent ma
jority of all votes cast. If there be a
tie, declare elected the candidate who
had most first choice vote;?. Let us
suppose that a voter votes thus:
t Longfellow.
Lowell.
Bryant.
: Holmes.
Whittier.
Marking Holmes 1, and making no In
dications of his prelcrence among
candidates. If Holmes is eliminated.
the returning board can't transfer the
vote to other candidates; hence, it
would be a null or waste vote.
This shows the importance of mark
ing nearly all of the candidates with
