'sDo you propose 10 do away with
roll calls 2" asked
ssNo: that cannot be done without

Roll calls in some form are necessary,
bat In the present form they are great
evil. A nIschlevous minority can
prevent the transaction OF basinsss for
weeks st . time, and 81 our coHntry
grows and rsprsssn sAtion becomes
larger and larger this delay gets to be
worse and worse. ARd IL seems to be
the growing policy of minority parties
60 prevent the majority from doing
anything, so that st the next election
the pszsity OF results may be pointed
TO az "a argument in favor OF change
OF az ministration.'
What is your invention aud how
does it intend to overcome this evilP
TT "a mechanical device by which
the roll is called sad recorded almost
instantly"
1t is Unnecessary to tire the reader
with long list Of questions and an
swsrs. As nearly "a | could make ont
from tho vague description which the
invsntor WAS drawn into giving, the
dsvics consists Of $ large table, like
that Of = hotel aunancistor, connected
with each desk by two wires. Inside
ths ds.k are two buttons marked
respectively YES" aad no." and 80
placed that only tue person having
access by key to that desk can touch
them. This is TO prevent the wrong
person from turning IN tue vote. The
annunoiator is provided with discs,
each marked plainly with q members
name and bearing ths word yes"
on one side snd mo" on the
other. when the member presses the
Affirmative button in his desk the disc
bearing his name turns so that the
word yes" is xpOssd. or Il be presses the
negative button tbs reverse side OF the
disc - turned outward. Then, attached
10 each disc. there seems to be a sort Of
"niekeI-in-ths-slo arrangement, so
that when the disc il tErnsd It frees =
piece OF metal which falls into a hopper
and in its turn passed through = slot
where IL tzrns ratchet wheel one way
or the other and records on counting
mAehins sitnsr an Affirmative or neg
alive vote As soon az these pieces Of
rnstsl have fallen into place the face of
the counting machine shows ths SUN
Of the vote on each side Of the question.
The inventor claims that the vote Of
the sstirs House OF Representatives.
could be taken. counted snd announced
in sinxis minute.
