Election Hints for Subdivision Committees. 
 
 (Knowing the special eircumatanees of the Subdivision, each CommiUee can 
 
 doubtless add to the following :) 
 
 1. K the Oommittes is not lai^e enough bo do the work of canvassing, have namai 
 added, so that two or three canvassers may be at work in each part of the subdivision. 
 
 2. The Committee should meet frequently at some stated place to consider reports. 
 The evening and place of meeting should be known to the President of the Associa- 
 tion and the Candidate. 
 
 The Scrutineers' Books should be kept strictly private by the Subdivision Com- 
 mittee, and by the Scrutineers who have charge of them on election day. 
 
 They should contain a correct lis*- cf all those voters whose names will appear on the 
 Deputy Returning Officer's roll. 
 
 3. The name of each voter on the Voters' List of the subdivision should be care- 
 fully read over and discussed, and all the possible doubtful vo ers marked at once. 
 These should be carefully canvassed immediately by persons especially appointed and 
 reports made as early as possible about every one of them. This should continue 
 until all are marked on one side or the other. 
 
 4. Knowing how each elector has likely voted in the past, it is too frequently 
 taken for granted that he will vote in the usual way. This is true in most cases, but 
 the votes of the few in each subdivision turn an election. The Committee should / 
 therefore be sure that every elector, especially in the least degree doubtful, is can- ^ 
 vassed. 
 
 Care should be taken not to overlook the nanies of those in part III, which are at — 
 
 the end of the Li&t 
 
 5. Each name should be marked " Liberal," " Conservative," " Patron," '* doubt- 
 ful," or " to be sworn," with reason given for swearing 
 
 The Scrutineers must be furnished with the fulle^i information possible in regard 
 to every voter. 
 
 6. The persons appointed as Outsidb and Inside Scrutineers should attend person- 
 ally to the marking of full information about each na-. 'i under the guidance of the 
 Committee, after a thorough canvass of every voter has been made ; and this shoulfi 
 be done before polling. •'' 
 
 Shortly before polling day all the Liberal voters in the subdivision should be "^ 
 assigned to particular committeemen whose duty it should be to see that all 
 the voters on their lists are polled. 
 
 A list of the voters who may be dilatory about reaching the polls should be pre- 
 pared for the sorutineers. 
 
 A Committee for the outside of the polling-booth should be appointed, and t'^ams 
 and other conveyances should be arranged for, and particul^T duties assigned 
 to each. 
 
 7. There should be secured careful scrutineers for polling day, properly autho- 
 rized, well posted in the Voters' List for the subdivision, who should be furnished 
 with Voters' Lists pasted or copied herein, marked with the latest r-tums as to t^e 
 canvass ; and they should be well supported by an active, enei^etic committee outside 
 the polling booth.

 suhdtvlsloii may nutike aU Oie difference between victory aiid defeat.
