From the publications of the "Proportional Representation Society," and articles in standard periodicals on the subject, the following description of the system is collated. The Society has for its main object the adoption of such an electoral system as will secure, as far as may be:

(a)	That every vote cast shall have equal power and value in the election of members;
(b)	That the waste of voting power, now so large, from minorities failing to obtain any representation, and the number of votes needlessly cast for popular candidates in districts where one or other of the political parties are in a great majority, shall be reduced to a minimum;
(c)	That the fullest choice shall be allowed to every voter in deciding who shall be his personal (not locality) representative.
