Much Interest in France in
Elections Involving Proper
tionate Representation.
PREVENTS DOMINATION
BY STRONGER DIVISION
Plan Finds Favor With Experts.
but Objection Is Made to
Plural Voting.

| PARIS, juno 5.-In France, where cleo
toral reform is now the Issue OF the hour
the recent elections in Belgium were
watched with special interest because
their representation proportioncllc," or
Il. T.. as IL is familiarly called here. is
in full operation.
r.. p. is an elaboratcly worked out sys-
ten TO give all political parties represen-
tation. according 10 the number OF votes
polled. In other words. the abandon
ment OF the absolute domination OF ma
jority rule now ia vogue in France and
most other continental countries.
In France, especially the existing sys-
tenn of elccting members 10 the chamber
of deputies in whose hands the political
power OF The state Is concentrated, Is
severely criticised not only on the
grounds that mujorities in small districts
make local considerations outweigh the
national interests. but also on the broad
er ground that the minorities, oftcntlmes
only few votes behind the majoritics;
have no representation at all
Larger Districts Remedy.
The remedy proposed is for larger dis
trictS. clcctinS from eight 10 fifteen depu-
ties upon a general platform. with pro-
portional representation for the minort-
ties when they are of sufficient size to
cast NOleS Oh Respectable dimensions.
The electoral experts sent TO Belgium
generally commend the system there. but
take exception to the plural voting en-
joyed by larger taxpayers and persons
with advanced educational attainmentS.
4 sample OF how the system works in
Belgium. disregardinS the question OF
plural voting can be gathered from the
results at Antwerp, where thirteen seats
were TO be filled, The catholic ticket
poed S2,S7S votes, tho Liberals, 65.54l
and the Socialists, l6.722. Under the sys
TEN OF majority rule, the Catholics would
have captured the entire thirteen seats.
Under the r. p system. each OF the total
votes received by ticket was divided
by l, 9. ,. 4, up 10 Is, and the quotients
OF these divisions became, in the order
OF numerical precedence, the order of di-
vlding the seats between the parties.
How It Works Out,
In this particular case IL resulted in
giving the first seal 10 the first Catholic;
the second. TO n Liberal; the third. Ia

Liberals, five, and the Socialists. one.
which works out almost mathcmntically
