Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-02-23
sAYs MACHINE wENT WRONG

After he had offered in evidence the
official returns of the election Lawyer Wes-
colt made application TO the Court for an
order directing the production of the vot.
ing machine and the ballot box used in the
two districts Of the Second ward
Mr. Rex was agreed that the box be pro-
duced but entered objection to the machine
being brought before the court He said
that there was no allegation of fraud as to
the machine in the petition and that con
sequently the application would would not
come in under contest. He added that il
might be proper in quo warranto.
Lawyer Wescott replied that it was his
purpose to show that the machine was sus-
ceptihle to manipulation, and that it didn' t
record the will and wish Of the people and
in such cases it is an absolute fraud He
further declared that by the machine, un-
like the other system, the voter no longer
sees or knows what be is voting He is
told that If he does a certain thing certain
results will follow; he acts according to
hearsay and not knowledge; he cant see,
don't know but must take it on faith.
The fundamental question, Mr. Wescott
says, is whether that alone isn't political
fraud
The court granted the application and
allowed Mr.. Rex an exception.

Poplars in Search of Water.

The thirsty roots of row of poplar
trees in Traverse City made 1t necessary
to take up and replace the tile drain
which the trees choked and in some in
stances destroyed. Seeking for water
the roots struck out for the sewer.
Baked by resistance, but not discour-
aged, they travelled alongside searching
for weak or imperfect joints through
which to enter, and when such were
found they. promptly occupied them, the
roots knotting up like den of snakes
In winter quarters. In one instance sew
eral roots travelled side by side many
feet, inspecting every inch Of pipe along
the way for a weak joint in the de-.
lenses. Detroit News.

sions tits quite probable that the au.
thor Of the defeated measure will re-

said that Senator Elkins framed his

During the uneasy hours he watched
that car, the various provisions Of the
