VOTING MACHINES.
Though Much Needed, Care Should he
Exercised in Legislation.

The time for adopting the voting ma
chimes has arrived. The coming Legisla-
ture should act on the matter. There is a
constant growing demand for this eco
nomical utility.-Fairmount News
The state press is almost unanimous In its
demand for voting machines. They cut
down election expenses greatly, and the re-
suit could be known in a few minutes after
the polls were closed. They would also
put the carbon envelope out of bust
ness.-Union City Eagle.
The fact that the voting machine will pre-
vent men from losing their votes through
error, that it will save largely in expense,
and that 1t will still further prevent the
use of Doodle at the polls are merits which
elicit the favor of practical. honest men
regardless of political affiliation.-Rochester
Sentinel.
The agitation for voting machines has
reached almost every county. And those
Who have investigated the question are al
most unanimously in favor of their intro
duction. The great saving in the expenses
o. the election boards and the absolute
fairness OF the record of the vote cast ap-
peal to all.-Washington Gazette.
Voting machines are all right, but it must
not be urged that they will prove a great
saving in expense of election, unless they
can be purchased very much cheaper than
$500 apiece, the price at which the United
States machine was offered at In this coun-
nv two years ago. Interest on the invest
ment, repairs. storage, insurance, etc., will
be very considerable. 10 say nothing of first
cost. The advantages of a good machine
in registering and counting the vote are
many. but IL canno be argued that there
is much economy in the use of a machine
that costs more than $500--Lebanon Patriot.
There is no doubt that many voting ma
chimes will be placed upon the market now
that there is quite a sentiment in favor of
voting by machinery. This fact In itself
should serve as an admonition not to be in
a hurry about contracting for machines at
this time, or even In the near future. Six
