Repeating in Philadelphia.
Lincoln Steffens in McClure's.)

Lincoln Steffens in McClure's.)
Repeating is done boldly, for the
machine controls the election officers,
often choosing them from among the
fraudulent names; and when no one
appears to serve, assigning the heller
ready for the expected vacancy. The
police are forbidden by law to stand
within thirty feet Of the polls, but they
are at the box, and they are there to
see that the machines orders are
obeyed and that repeaters whom they
help to furnish are permitted to vote
without intimidation" on the names
they (the police) have supplied. The
repeaters go from one polling place
to another, voting On slips, and on their
return rounds change coats, hats, etc.
The business proceeds with very few
bitches; there is more testing than
fighting.
But many Philadelphians do not try
to vote. They leave everything to the
machine. and the machine casts their
ballots for them. 1t is estimated that
10000 voters did not go to the polls
at the last election. Yet the machine
rolled up a majority of 10000 for
weaver, with a fraudulent vote esti-
mated all the way from 10000 to 3d.

People Who Don't Intermarrv,

The Mirdites, a Christian clan In
northern Albania, to this day relig.

with their own tribe, but as a general
rule they carry off wives from among
their Mohammedan neighbors. Con.

as not is preceded by a series Of
funerals. For. although the Moham-
medan maid may In some cases have
no unconquerable aversion to being
abducted, It frequently happens that
her kinsmen consider It a point of
honor to defend her in grim earnest
and lives are lost in consequence.
