Abstract
The democratic system of government is based on the dual right
of the individual citizen to choose those who will govern him and
to call to account those chosen. Without these two essentials no
system of government can properly be called "democratic". An
election, therefore, is an initial step in the political process,
and the study of electoral behavior is of immense importance to a
comprehension of the underlying processes through which men govern
themselves, not only as members of a political unit, but also as
segments of a social organism. An election and its preceding campaign
is often a synopsis of the temperament of an era; to study an election
campaign is to reveal the social harmony or disharmony, the economic
prosperity or depression, of a particular point in time. The Saskatchewan
general election of 1929 was such a synopsis.
