SECOND CHOICE VOTING.

At the election in June the people
of this state adopted = constitutional
amendment which was and Is com
monty called n proportional repre-
santatlon amendment. II asked what
IN. purpose Of this amendment Is.
the ordinary voter would say that II
Is designed to give minority parties
representation In proportion Ia the
number OF voters. Hut the amend
m,nt contains other provisions, OF
which We shall perhaps learn much
as time passes. The first part oi the
amendment provides for proportional
representation. The amendment also
nays that provision may be made by
Law for the voters direct or indirect
expression of his first. second or ad-
ditlonal choices among candidates for
any ofiice For an ONCE which Is
filled by the election Of one person.
IL may b. required by Jaw that the
person elected shall be the hnal
choice Of n majority OF the electors
voting for the candidates for that Of
fee. These principles may be applied
BY law TO nominations by political
parties and organizations.
This provision for an expression OF
second choice Is now In effect In the
direct-primary law in the state OF
Washington and In September We
shall see q practical demonstration OF
how Il works. The purpose OF this
portion OF the amendment, and OF q
law which may be enacted under the
amendment. Is to prevent the nomi-
nation OF persons who are the choice
OF q small minority OF the voters.
Such q system OF voting would have
made q great difference In the result
OF the nomination for Senator In this
state In 1906. In the primary con
test In that year there wer. i've can
didates, Mr.. Bourne winning over Mr..
Cake by a few votes. As everyone
knows. Il was q Bourne and anti
Bourne tight. Mr.. Bourne had GER
tain definite support. but the oppo-
sition TO him WAS divided among four
candidates. As result, Bourne re-
ceived more votes than any one OF his
opponents. He was the first choice
OF those who voted for him. but he
was not the second choice OF any con-
siderable number OF voters. Those
who wanted him nominated voted for
him: those who did not want him
scattered their votes and wasted
them. Under q plan which permitted
the expression OF second choice
Mr.. Cake would have received many
.second-choice votes from the sup
porters Of Lowell. Smith and Watson.
while Mr.. Bourne would have receiy-
ed very few. The vote at the primary
electIOn stood thus:
