This unit is evidently smaller than either of the others, and is to be found by trial.

"Are you sure you can run this car, Dick?" asked Dora a bit timidly. "Oh, yes, Dora. It is of a make that I have run before, only the other was a five-seat instead of a seven. But this one runs the same way." "Dick is a born chauffeur," said Sam. "Wait till you see him let the car out to sixty miles an hour." "Mercy! I don't want to run as fast as that!" cried Grace.
If the majority be twice as strong as the minority, it will have twice the chance of gaining the advantage. To prove this, consider the position of a one-third minority in a number of five-seat electorates.
Again, if the 670 members of the House of Commons were elected in three to five-seat electorates, and the Droop quota used as proposed by Sir John Lubbock, and if the Ministerialists were twice as strong as the Oppositionists, they would, on the average, return 30 more members than the two-thirds to which they are entitled, and this would count 60 members on a division.
