Excerpt from Borough and County Council Elections (Excluding Metropolitan Borough Councils): Being Practical Notes Alphabetically Arranged, With an Appendix of Statutes and Forms for the Use of Candidates, Agents, Clerks, Canvassers and Other Workers at Such Elections These notes, which relate to Borough and County Council (excluding London Municipal Borough) Elections, are the outcome of considerable experience in the work they deal with, and the authors have also had the advantage of valuable advice and suggestion from friends who have been engaged in all kinds of election work for many years. There is no intention of setting forth hard and fast rules, the object has rather been to say what courses are possible, with a view of leaving inquirers to deal with the information supplied according to local circumstances. The best electioneer is the man who deals with things as he finds them and not as he thinks they ought to be. Electoral areas vary so much in size that no attempt has been made to lay down fixed rules for all places. There may be a small collection of villages constituting the few hundred electors of a remote rural county, or the miles of streets which make up a London constituency. It is for each person who uses these notes to judge for himself what he can usefully employ. The notes are arranged alphabetically, and there have been added (by way of appendix) such statutes of practical utility as are necessary, together with a few forms. The notes are arranged for the ordinary inquirer rather than the legal expert, hence, except in a few instances, it has not been thought necessary to give authorities.
