ELETRICAL laws.
(To the Editor.) i Sir,—lt is all very well for ‘‘A.B.C.’’ i to mention the fact that it took over 5 i 54,000 electors to return one Lahoui i member at Home and only 27,000 to J elect a Conservative. Let them look i after their own affairs, and let us look 1 after ours. 1 Taking the published figures, It took ■ only 7150 votes to elect a Labour ’ member last month, 14,750 to elect a : Nationalist, and 13,750 to elect an i Independent. What sort of democracy > does he call that? If the Reform Oo- ’ vernments failed to provide a Sooc. ; election system, is that any reason whs t Labour should refuse to do sol There is no need to disturb boundaries or country quotas or anything else. Simply allow the people to say in what order they prefer Hie candidates, and the thing is done. —1 am, ole., X. X ./£. Hamilton, December It).
