Federal Elections in Ontario (1867-1911): Voting and Census Data file
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Federal Elections in Ontario (1867-1911): Voting and Census Data file was created to enable testing and hypotheses dealing with the effect of religious and ethnic background on voting patterns in Canada. Since subconstituencies tend to remain relatively stable from election to election, the subconstituency was selected as the basic unit of analysis. Each record consists of election returns data and census figures describing the ethnic and religious background of the subconstituency population. Election results were correlated with figures drawn from the next decennial census. Reports of the Chief Electoral Officer (for each election in the Parliamentary Sessional Papers), served as the source of the returns data. Following Dr. Kerr's sudden death in 1976, the data were deposited in the Social Science Computing Laboratory (SSCL) for use by other researchers. The data have been cleaned, documented and otherwise prepared for dissemination by SSCL (now Social Sciences Technology S ervices).
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
