TO PREVENT ERRoR AND FRAUD

The voting machine which has been
referred to several time in The Herald,
and which has been tried successfully
in Western New York, costs now about
$3.50 But its benefits are far above its
price, and that will, no doubt, he modi-
fed as the machine comes into more
extended use.
The principle on which it works is
that of the cash register. The names
of the candidates are printed on the
push-buttons, and the buttons are ar
ranged in rows of different coIors, repre-
senting the various parties. The voter
pushes the button bearing the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, and his vote is recorded. An
| ignorant voter can vote straight by
simply pushing the buttons of the color
representing his political party
The voting machine would do away
with tickets, with clerical work at the
polls, with opportunities to commit
fraud, and there would be no discrep-
ancies or Irregularities in the returns
The results of an election, it is said
can he determined almost Immediately
is attained by it, thus preventing con
tests and numerous disputes which
arise over the best systems Of ballot
ing and counting in vogue.
| 1t is an indisputa'ble fact, except
among people who are as apt to deny
everything that doesn't suit Them as tc
''claim everything that does suit them
| that scarcely any returns of the recent
election were exactly accurate in al
respects. People who never oficiated
at an election do not understand how
easy it is to make a, mistake in the
count and how frequently errors in,
advertently occur.
Unless great care is exercised, al
though the canvass may appear a sim.
pie matter, two men keeping tally will
frequently disagree as to the count
and unless both are determined upor
having it right regardless of party re-
suits, discrepancies will be the conse,
quence. And after a. days work at tht
polls and long canvass OF votes, men
get weary during the night and per.
| haps therefore a little careless, and SC
errors creep in which sometimes are
sufficient ITO affect the result to candi
dates when the opposing votes are
close.

of recording and counting the vote.

suit, and would be far preferable to any

THE sO-CALLED CANVASS.

The canvass Of the votes in the Third
precinct of this city though closed is
not complete. It is not a canvass of the
votes of the precinct but of only part
thereof. There is no such thing pro-
vided for in the law. When there are
discrepancies or irregularities in the
returns, the canvass Of the votes-that
is the opening of the ballot boxes and
counting the contents-is to be a can
Yass of the votes of the precinct Ii
does not matter whether. for con-
venience of the voters, there has been
one poll or dozen. The votes of the
precinct must be counted or the canvass
Is not that required by law.
The circumstances surrounding the
Third precinct affair are such that the
increase OF votes developed for H. A
Smith make the fact positive that some
candidate has been credited with toe
many votes in the returns. That rem.
ders it essential TO the canvass re-
Quired of this board by law, to be g
canvass of the votes of the entire pre-.
rinct So as to determine the rights Of
any candidate voted for whose rights
may be affected by the result.
That means not only the candidate:
J whose votes may be increased, but
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-01-25

those whose votes may have been there
by decreased. 1t means not only the
one candidate who now appears to nave
been elected, but all the others who
of necessity must be somewhat affected
by the result now announced.
We regard the work of the canvassing
board in the Third precinct as incom-
plete. They ought to be required to go
fully into the canvass of the whole
precinct, which includes counting the
votes cast for every one of the five
candidates in that precinct. If not, why
not?
The public want to know who has
been elected and who has been de-
feated. That is the purpose for which
the canyassing board was appointed.
Anything short of that is palterdng
with the matter. The rest of the work
less delays.
AS to the charge of ballot stuffing
about which so much has been said,
the canvassing board, after hearing
testimony concerning it, officially an
nounced that:
1T further appears from such evil
dence that the ballots have bean pre-
served substantially as required by law
and have not in any way been tempered

THEY ARE NO GOOD.

The workingmeD of this city who
need and desire employment, will not
help their cause by joining in the
declamations and frenzied mutterings
Of the blatherskites who do most of
their labor with their mouths. Nor
will it assist them if they mix up party
politics with their movement. If they
are wise they will stop all such folly,
and diYest their endeavors Of every
thing extraneous to the purpose they
have in view.
There are two or three hot-headed,
leather-lunged and forked-tounged har-
anguers, always to be found at the
front in labor agitations and meetings
of the unemployed, who monopolize the
time and injure the cause by their in
temperate and untruthful splut-
terings. One of the kind told
his tale at the tunnel on Thurs
day. He is one thing in politics today,
another thing tomorrow, and would be
back again next day or anywhere else
if it was likely to be to his interest. It
is a marvel that sensible men will
permit him to make them weary with
his mouthings.
The bane Of the laboring people is the
walking delegate" who with the
flannel mouthed" orator and the
bread or blood" bowler, spoils the
best efforts to bring the workman and
the employer to a mutual understand
ing. and who stirs up strife instead of
planning for peace and labor.
The Herald has always favored the
cause of the bona fide workers and de-
sires that employment shall be found
for those who need it now. But it has
always despised the pretended labor
agltator, who bankers more after no
toriety and the support of his fellows
than he does after the opportunity to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow. Genuine laborersf should keep
such fellows at a distance, and call
them down when they mount the plat
form to spiIf their impracticabIe theo-
ries and pour out abuse on their bet
ters. They are of no use to the work
ing people and are a detriment to So
| ciety,

THE WRONG IN THE STRIKE.

The history of the Brooklyn trolley
line strike bids fair to follow in the
familiar lines of the Debs strike, the
Homestead strike and all similar
strikes.
1t is perhaps true that the corpora
ton against whose policy the men are
on strike were requiring ten hours of
service for eight hours moderate pay:
it may be possible that the roads were
able to pay more and would have been
justified in doing SO. 1t may be true
that arbitrators, or some board having
legal power to act, would have found
wrongs existing which should have
been righted.
But no such board or panacea exists.
The men ttereupon unwisely followed
in the footsteps Of others and adopted
the uncivilized method, took the re-
dress of their wrongs into their own
hands and have not hesitated to tram
pie upon the rights, destroy the pro-
perty, and MAIN the. persons of other
human beings. The perpetuation of
our government is predicated on the
maintenance of peace and the preserva-
ton to every citizen of the right to
go, come or do what or where he
please SO long as he does not thereby
trench upon the rights of others.

STILL LAUNDERING.


The Tribune people, exposed in 81
dirty act, are now trying to squirm out
of the pillory in which they have placed
themselves, and so escape the scorn
and public pelting they deserve. Their
latest effort is based on several false
hoods:
First, that the request in the question
asked was to decide a bet" because
the writer said ''there was money put
UP on the answer" Second, chat the
writer said distinctly that the letter
might either be answered through the
paper or by letter" Third, that the
answer twas public property" Fourth.
that the answer was not expected to be
a confidential answer. Fifth, that a
private communication becomes a pub
lie matter if it touches on the subject
of protection.
The letter requesting a reply said
nothing about bet or about money
being put up on the answer, but simply
that the writer had made an assertion
in speech which was disputed and he
wanted to know if he was right. II
said nothing about a reply through The
Herald, but enclosed stamp for an
! answer by mail. The answer was not

public but strictly private The an
swer was confidential answer. what
ever the questioner expected, and the
postage stamp for a reply was evidence
that a private communication was
what was wanted. The reference to
protection was an essential part Of the
answer because the question was of
that nature. but that did not make
the private letter in any sense public
property and finally it simply expressed
the opinion of the writer.
AS to the Crane letter, which was
published in several Utah papers, it
was copied in the local columns of The
Herald from another public journal,
and was thus reasonably supposed to
be a public matter, as it related to the
conduct of the Republican campaign.
1t was in the nature of a circular, be-
ing sent to several persons, was not
originally given to the public by The
Herald, and the case bears no simfl-
arity to the case of the Tribune in pub
fishing a private letter and adding to
it accusations against the writer which
are both libellous and false, malicious
and contemplate
In assuming that the letter of in
Quiry was identical with the more ex-
tended communication which the Tri-
bune claims to have received from the
same writer. that paper jumps at one
more unWarranted conclusion. Is not
this enough about a matter in which
very few people take the slightest in
terest? We merely touch on it now,
because the Tribune persists in reiter-
ating what are wilful falsehoods or
egregious mistakes.
