THE art of winning and holding
friends should be the first study OF the
man who expects to be mayor of Ell
Paso in nineteen hundred and 'steen.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, makes
some revelations along this line that
are full of interest. The senator says
that he keeps in close touch with the
people Of his state in q hundred differ
emit ways. One of his habits Is to read
in the senate the name of every con-
stituent who sends him petition, and
thus the names of the authors appear
in the Congressional Record, looking
very large. To each person thus dis
tinguished the senator sends copy of
the Record, which is shown with much
pride at the country store or CROSS
roads postoffice, and the voter is made
q friend Of Cockrell for life.

EVERY fair man wants to see fail
election and as fair meI are vastly in
the majority in the United States great
interest is shown in every step taker
toward fair elections. IL Ithaca, New
York, the home of Cornell university
d committee of the common council has
spent some time since the recent cleo,
ton in investigating the merits OF
voting machines. The conclusions re.
ported are:
First-The voting machine is sim
pie, reliable, durable and convenient
apparatus for it's purpose.
Second-The machine cOmpels the
deposit of q perfect and accurate bal
lot, of the form chosen by the voter.
Third-It restricts the voter abso-
lutely to the limits of the law and per-
mits him freedom just as absolutely in
voting within that limit.
FOurth-Blank and defective ballots,
the usual fault of ordinary methods OF
voting, are entirely done away with,
and no man loses his vote through de-
fect of the system. or fault of his own,
if he votes at all. The disfrauchlsed
voter becomes unknown.
Fifth-Fraudulent voting is impos-
sible, as well as errors in voting.
SiXth-The vote cast Is registered,
vote by vote, with absolute accuracy
and certainty.
Seventh-The result can be declared
imm diately upon the close OF the
polls. having been already completely
counted.
Eigbth-The cost OF the system is SO
much less than that of the old method
that the machines usually pay for
themselves in from three to seven
years.
The whole case may be summarized
in o sentence: THE machines retain
all the virtues and exclude all the vices
of the old method of balloting." Their
use would be entirely justified, even
though they involved a more costly
rather than a much less expensive
system. Their adoption is looked upon
by your committee as promoting good
politics, good morals and good finance.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted for the study of the fair men of Ell
Paso.
