A letter from a reader last week, stressing tlie confusion that could be caused by voters in the coming election already having tifteen candidates to choose from (the number has since gone up to sixteen) gives weight to the campaign for the town to be divided into wards. It would be unwise, however, to rush into a decision without examining the subject from every angle, so let us look at both the advantages and detects


of the ward system. The present system—of every elector having the •


opportunity to vote for any of the candidates is undoubtedly unwieldy, and advocates of the ward system say—and they arc probably correct—that we shall have to adopt it in the end whether we like it or not. They argue that it is impossible for a candidate to cover the entire town in his electioneering, other than by pamphlets, a good proportion of which must remain unread. They also ask how it is possible for the electors to assess the merits of, say, 16 candidates most of whom are nothing more than names to them. Under the ward system the two or three candidates will •probably be well known to the voters, and the one elected will certainly feel a greater sense ot direct representation, indentifying himself with his ward and working principally, though not exclusively, with its


welfare in mind. Less exp en siv e

From a party point of view, the ward system is not only simpler for electioneering purposes but tar


less expensive. The difference in costs is Partl^ J ^ y acute when a by-election arises, lor whereas at present it costs almost as much as a lull election, under the ward system only one ward would be involved, with


consequently very much less expense. Now for the disadvantages. The ward system is tar less sensitive to the fluctuations of opinion A swing
