THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE VOTING. Many different plans and methods of voting have been devised and proposed for giving representation to minorities and to voters the greatest amount of freedom, independence and certainty in the results of the exercise of the franchise. No attempt will be made now to describe or explain all of them. Some of them are very complicated and when they were brought up for consideration in the British Parliament they provoked the remark from John Bright with which perhaps... some persons interested in the sub- ject may sympathize " that they have this disadvantage, that scarcely any one can understand them. " For the present, what will be said will be confined to an in- quiry into the principles which ought to control cumulative voting if it is to be entirely free, and to the means of complying with such prin- ciples. With this purpose in view it will be supposed that three candidates are to be elected from a district and that ' ' each voter may cast as many votes for one candidate as there are representatives to be elected, or may distribute the same or equal parts thereof among the candidates as he shall see fit, " as provided in the Constitution of the State of Illinois.
