Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proportional Representation: A Means for the Improvement of Municipal Government; With Reports on the Constitutionality in New York of a System Providing for Minority Representation
It is true that Proportional Representation would be of advantage to the Republican Party in New York City, but in most of the counties of the State and in a city with the political predilections of Philadelphia it would aid the Democratic Party more than it would help its opponents. Proportional Representation is advocated first, because it is fair and just to all parties; and second, because it is believed that it would pro mote the cause of good government.
