The Myers Voting Machine.
New York Times

The Myers voting machine has six par
ty columns, with thirty-five knobs in
each column, and by pressing one of the
knobs vote is registered. In Presiden-
tial elections the electors are all voted
for by the use of one knob. The machine
in this state, therefore has capacity to
vote for 10 candidates in each party, or
400 candidates in all.
The machine prevents repeating by an
automatic arrangement, which locks
each knob when it has been voted, In
case of offices where more than one is to
be elected, as, for instance, at the Lock
port election last year, where five con-
stables were to be elected, he machine
may be arranged so that when the knobs
have been pressed as many times as there
are men to be chosen it is locked. Vot-
ing for any five constables locked the
voter.
Each political party has q standard
color. The party ballot ano the sup
ports of the knobs are of the same Icolor,
and party voting may be done by color.
In voting, the khobis pressed as far as
possible, and If pushed far enough to
register a vote twill stay there, and the
voter has evidence that the vote issadded
with the mechanical counter in the sealed
compartments ~

PIE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

The chief question involved in the
election of today is far graver one than
that of mere partisan politics. Whether
Republican or Democrat shall be at the
head of our municipal affairs is of COM
paratively little consequence beside the.
question whether the will of the people
as expressed at the polls is to be per-
mitted to be thwarted by corrupt acts:
without protest. There will always be
INSCRIPTIONS men in the community
whose regard for principle is so slight
that the wrongfulness of an act will not
deter them from committing it. There
are, and always will be, men who believe
that all is fair in politics. Tt is the men
of this stamp who do the mischief at
elections, and bring our politics into dis
repute. 1t is mere waste of time and
breath to appeal to them not to resort to
trickery because trickery is wrong. They
will laugh man to scorn who presents
to them such an argument as that. The
only way to deter them from resorting to
ohdl PldNtlCOo 10 ny GllOHiAS5 L1lOAA Ulldt
such practices are improbable. A dem
onstration of that kind makes pro-
found impression upon them. Such a
demonstration will do more to purify
politics than hundred homilies on the
wickedness of such acts.
On the other hand the discovery that
fraud when clearly revealed does not
initiate against the party for whose
benefit it is committed, will be sure to
stimulate every political trickster in the
community no matter to what party he
may belong.
1t would be difficult to conceive
OF anything more destructive to the
purity of election methods in Port
land, more certain to introduce trickery
permanently into our politics than neg
lect to take advantage of the present OPP
portunity to inculcate the lesson that
such methods donot pay.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-04-17

The ballots of each party's candidate
are pasted on the wall in front of the
voter in upright columns as guide in
pushing in the knobs and the ballots are
not handled by any voter, nor by any
member of the election board at any
time. Split tickets may be voted ny
simply changing from the knobs OF one
color to those of another.
The machine is placed within the Sc
cret cabinet, which is called for under
the secret ballot laws. The claim is
made that any illiterate or even
blind voter can vote u straight ticket, a
mixed ticket or the part of a ticket. A
voter may also ''split'' his Presidential
elector ticket, or omit to vote for any
ticket he pleases. La voting ''split'
ticket the knobs of the independent can
didates are first pushed in. Then begin
ming at the top of the party column, the
knobs for all the other officers are
pushed in, emitting such asI have been
voted as ''splits. The names are az
ranged in the same order as those on the
tickets published officially in the news
papers.

Fasting and PRAYER.
VOTE FOR MIR. BAXTER.

The issues of this election have been
too thorough and too persistently pre-
sented for anybody to be in doubt about
them. Everybody knows that there was
a miscount in Ward 1, that it was fraud
ulent, and that on the strength of it Mr..
Ingraham received his certificate. Every
body knows that he held on to that certi-
ficate until it was absolutely demonstrated
that he was not elected. While not legally
demonstrate there is moral certainty
that if the vote of Ward / at the first
election had been correctly counted and
declared Mr.. Baxter would have been
found to be elected. The Democratic
leaders practically conceded this at one
time, and their first impulse was to let the
second election go by default But certain
candidates for federal Offices conceived
that such policy would injure their
chances, and so they set to work to bring
abouta change. They succeeded. But they
were animated in this course not by re-
gard for their own party, for everybody
can see that the party would stand much
better today before the world if it
had persisted in it's first honest
impulse, and had continued to repudiate
and denounce the fraud as vigorously as
it did when the disclosures were first
made. They were not animated either
by interest in the welfare of the city.
They simply sought their own selfish,
personal ends. And they are asking
the people of Portland to-
day to elect Mr.. Ingraham
simply to help them in their pursuit of
Office. They have dragged their party
through the mire for their own personal
advantage, and they now seek to smirch
the reputation of the city for the same
purpose.
Repudiate them and their unholy
purpose by voting for ames P. Baxter.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-04-17

The Republicans of Portland appeal
to the voters to-day to vote for Mr..
James P. Baxter for Mayor. They do
SO on two general grounds. First, be-
cause Mr.. Baxter is gentleman in every
way qualified to fill the Office with ability
and distinction and to administer the
affairs of the city on business principles
and for the benefit of all classes. Second
because the preservation of the good
name of the city demands his election.
On the eleventh of March his opponent
was evidently of the opinion that the
election of Mr.. Baxter without opposi-
ton was demanded to restore the repu-
tation of the city which had been injured
by foul conspiracy to defeat the will of
the people in Ward One, for he declared
that he would under no circumstances
be candidate and himself suggested
that the Democrats might concede Mr..
Baxter election by putting up no candi-
date against him. Nh. Ingraham's
opinion at this time obviously was that
the proper thing to do under the circum-
stances was to elect Mr.. Baxter Mayor.
The circumstances have in no wise
changed. We very much doubt although
he is candidate if Mr.. Ingraham's
opinion has really changed. We believe
that way down in his heart he thinks
to-day as he did them, and has merely
stifed his opinion at the behest of his
party

How any Republican can be apathetic
at todays election passes our comprehen-
sion. Apathy on the part of a Republi-
can under the present circumstances is a
half endorsement of the fraudulent
practices at the first election.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-04-17

The greatest service a. Democrat can
do his party today is to vote in such
way that everybody will understand that
he has no sympathy with fraudulent
practices at elections. We believe if every
Democrat in this town should throw his
vote for Mr.. Baxter today the party
would stand much better a year hence
than if it succeeded in electing Mr.. Ingra-
ham
