Cumulative Voting for Members of the Legislature

Illinois has a law peculiar to itself in regard to
the electing of representatives in its legislature. No
other state provides for cumulative voting for legisla-
tive candidates, but our constitution Of 1870 makes
this provision. We have no assembly or legislative
districts separate from our senatorial districts. The
provision is that there shall be ~ffty-one senatorial dis
tricts in the state, each Of which elects one state sena-
tor, each four years, and three representatives in the
general assembly each two years. The districts hav-
ing odd numbers elect state senators at alternate cleo
tons with the districts having even numbers.
The law provides that each voter may cast three
votes for representatives. He may cast these votes all
for one candidate, or may divide them between two,
or he may divide them between three, but he cannot
divide them between four or more, giving a fraction
to each.
Notwithstanding the fact that the people of the
state have been using the cumulative system for elect
ing members of the legislature for forty years, yet
there is still a great deal of misunderstanding and a
great many mistakes are made both in voting and
counting votes. This provision of the law should be
repealed, and it is one of the advances hoped for I'm
der a new constitution.
Between now and election we shall give two or
three examples of ballots marked in different ways,
with law applied as to the way such ballot shall be
counted.
We recommend that there be meetings held in
every church and school house to which The voters
are invited and to which also are invited judge and
clerks of election, to consider the law upon this sub
ject and examples of ballots marked in various ways,
with the explanation of how the vote should be count
ed. 1t would also be we'll that others beside judges
and clerks inform themselves thoroughly on the law
regarding this question, as even some judees and
clerks make serious mistakes counting the ballot,.
AS, for instance, one Judge of election testified
that a ballot marked as below was counted as a
straight Republican ticket with a vote and a half each
for Harris and Brown, giving the reason for such con-
struction that the voter had put an X in the circle of
the Republican party ticket indicating that the voter
intended to cast a straight party ticket. The Judge in
this case was in error. While the voter may have in
tended a straight Republican ticket on other candi-

cause there is a cross in the circle for the Republican
party ticket that the purpose evidently was to vote a
straight Republican ticket except that the voter want
ed to give one vote for Mason, If the purpose was to
give one vote for Mason and one vote each for the two

How is the above ballot counted on the legisla-
tive candidates?
Error No. I.-Some enormously count a ballot
marked as above as one vote for Brown, one vote for
Harris and one vote for Mason. They reason that be-
