Anmial porn leif Jones, whose positions were greatly improved anmial porn in consequence, though
neither obtained the quota. At anmial porn the same time a formidable addition of
834 votes was given to Mr. Henderson, the votes doubtless of Liberal
sympathisers with Labour; and Lord Hugh Cecil received 88 votes,
presumably from moderate Liberals who lay chief stress on Free Trade. On
the other hand, Mr. Balfour's smaller Unionist surplus was divided
mainly between Mr. Walter Long, who received 526 additional votes, and
Lord anmial porn Hugh Cecil, who received 195.
Anmial porn _The elimination of unsuccessful candidates_.]
After the transfer of all surplus votes had been completed, the work of
the returning officer again became very simple. Three members only had
been elected, two more were required, and anmial porn there remained in the running
nine candidates, none of whom obtained a quota of votes. Another process
now began, namely the elimination anmial porn of candidates at the anmial porn bottom of the
poll, beginning with the lowest and working upwards. The group of
electors who have recorded their votes for the anmial porn candidate lowest on the
poll are evidently not sufficiently numerous to have a anmial porn direct
representative of their own. The process of elimination allows these
electors to re-combine with other groups until they become part of a
body large enough to be so entitled. The supporters of the lowest
candidate are treated as being asked (and answering, if they care to do
so, by anmial porn their next preferences) the question: " The candidate of anmial porn your
first choice having no chance of election, to whom now of the candidates
still anmial porn in the running do you prefer your vote to go?" By this process,
first the two candidates, Mr. Smith and anmial porn Mr. Joynson-Hicks, who at this
stage were
at the bottom of
the poll and whose combined votes were less
than those of the third lowest candidate, were eliminated and their
votes transferred to anmial porn the next preferences of their supporters. No one
was anmial porn elected as a result of anmial porn this operation, and accordingly the votes of
Mr. Shackleton and Lord Hugh Cecil, now lowest on the poll, were
transferred in the order named.
These and all other eliminations were of the same character. _All_ anmial porn the
papers of the eliminated candidates which showed an available next
anmial porn preference were transferred, and no calculations anmial porn such as were required
in the case of the transfer anmial porn of surplus anmial porn votes were needed. It will anmial porn be
sufficient if the details of one process--the transfer of Mr.
Shackleton'anmial porn s votes--are given;
