Try This:
- Use the Zoom in tool on the map, to zoom in to the Prairies.
- On the DATA SELECT toolbar, click on the Table tool and then
click and drag a rectangle on the map to include several of the units
("presbyteries.")
|
|
 |
Notice ...
- The data table displays the vote for church union both by
congregations and by individuals, presbytery by presbytery.
- The limits of the presbyteries you selected are individually highlighted.
(You may have to drag the table aside to see this.)
-
The proportion of congregations in each presbytery that voted in favour of
Union in 1925 was almost always greater – and frequently a great deal greater –
than the proportion of the vote when reported by individual ballots (the “popular vote”).

Consider!
- The strength and homogeneity among Prairie voters was not
as strong as the map would suggest.
- Ontario appeared to have been consistently heterogeneous,
not only between presbyteries but also within them.
- The manner in which votes are recorded in elections can
yield highly discordant results.
