THE examination of the voting ma
chimes in Camden by Supreme Court
Justice Garrison, the County Board of
Elections and the Republican and
I Democratic counsel in the shrievalty
election contest cases, has proved con-
clusively that not a single error was
made by the devices in that city dur
ing the recent election. There were
fourteen of the machines, and, on or
der of Justice Garrison, they were all
opened. A number of interested citl-
zens were present to watch the pro-
ceedings and to famiIiarize the i selves
with the entire mechanism. After
being unlocked by the assistant city
clerk, who explained in detail the
manner OF operating the counters,
etc, the total number of votes regis
tered was taken, then the protected !"
number was removed, and in every
case the count was accurate. In other
words, the machine demonstrated that
every person who voted upon them, as
shown by the poll book, had registered
his will and it had been counted as he
intended. BY contrast with the cor
rectness of the machines, how bung-
ling was the method of voting in the
ballot-boxes The returns from sixty
four precincts were recanvassed by the
County Board Of Elections in Camden,
and there was hardly district, out
side Of those where machines were
used, in which there were not found
errors in the count or manipulations
Of the ballots by the election officers,
due in large part to ignorance or per-
haps prejudice.

Announced.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have announced the engagement of
Miss Alice Roosevelt to Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth, of Cincin-
natl, with the further information
that the wedding will take place on
February IT. The attentions Of Mr..
Longworth have been most marked
since he came to Congress, two years
ago, although it is only in the last
week that formal engagement has
been acknowledged even to the closest
personal friends of the President s fam
lily. The ceremony will take place in
the Blue Room Of the White House.
Immediately after their marriage Mr..
Longworth and his bride will take pos
session of the residence 831 Eighteenth
street, which the former leased early
in the season, and where he IS now
living with his mother. He will take
his bride abroad in June and probably
will participate In the London season,
one OF the few social delights not yet
enjoyed by Miss Roosevelt, who has
twice been disappointed in a European
trip. They will also visit Mr.. Long
worth's brother-in-law and sister, the
Count and Countess de Chamhrun, in
France. Miss Roosevelt, who is the
only child of the Presidents first mar
rage, will be % years old in February.
The wedding Of Mr.. Longworth and
Miss Roosevelt will be the first to take
place in the White House since the
marriage OF President Cleveland to
Miss Frances Folsom. in 1886. That
was the first time a President was
married in the Executive Mansion,
and the occasion was celebrated in a
manner to make ip long memorable.
The interval before that ran back to
the wedding, in 1874, Of Nellie Grant
to Algernon Sartoris. The daughter
of President Monroe was the first
daughter Of a President to be married
in the White House, her wedding to a
member Of the Livingston family TAX
ing place in the Green Room in 1920.
Robert Todd, the son of Dolly Madi-
son, by her first husband, was married
in the White House. to his cousin, in
President Madison's second term, this
being the first marriage to take place
there.

alas, the outcome OF the meeting to

THE State Gazette in speaking of
the part taken by Mr.. Record in OPP
position to the majority Republican
caucus says:
Mr., Record, the bossiest boss of all
the bosses, is determined that the mi
nority shall rule. The majority is as
determined that it will not lick the
boots of the minority, and it is right.
The COlby-Record contin-
gent has fought underhandedly from
the start and will undoubtedly con-
tinue that style of fighting to the
finish 1t is small clique, the mem
bers Of which have gotten their noses
tightly lodged between the thumb and
foretinger of George L. Record, rem
egade Democrat who is using them to
advance his own personal interests
and to satisfy his own personal ambi-
tions
If these ambitions are ever satisfied,
Mr.. Record will as quickly forget the
men who helped him satisfy them as
he has forgotten the men who maze
him what he is politically to-day,
THE Paterson "Call'' quoted the
above and says: SO
But what is the use, we ask our
Trenton contemporary, Of keeping up
the fight after the Victory has been
won? Why throw it in and hit man
when he is down? When the time
comes to organize the legislature 1t
will be organized on the plan adopted
by the Republican caucus, and we
make the prediction that there will
be no trouble about it at all. Mr..
Colby and Mr.. Pagan are too sensible
men to make nuisance OF themselves
at Trenton on the day Of the organizas
tion of the legislature, and we do not
imagine that they will permit Mr..
Record to do so, even Il he should feel
so inclined, which we doubt. III our
information is reliable, and we think

MORRIsTOwN has a number OF times
In the past effected organizations for
the welfare and Improvement of the
town, but we do not recall a former
effort launched under so favorable
auspices as that OF, the civic associa-
tion organized on Tuesday evening.
Too often in the past the object of Or
ganization was to oppose rather than
forward matters Of Importance to the
town, or else have had a narrow view
of the situation. The attendance Of
so many representative and progressive
citizens at the meeting on Tuesday
evening augurs. well for the success of
the organization, and IL the directors
will take the advice of one of the
speakers and interest and enlist the
ladies in the work, the improvement
of the town is a foregone conclusion.
Now that the organization is formed
every good citizen should help it In
every possible way, resting. assured
that whatever will help the town in
general will benefit him ia particular.
Let us put forth an earnest and con
certed effort to add to Morristown's
historic and social reputation that OF
being the cleanest and most desirable
residential town in this section of the
lcountry.

to develop better public spirit.

would not promise to do what the rep

WHILE the Democratic journals and
leaders as a rule are fayoring the Rec
ord-Colby combination to control leg
islation and claim to see in it a disrup-
tion of the Republican party, one
Democratic journal-the SUNNI i t
!" Record whose editor is in posi-
tion to know something Of the inside
working of Essex and Hudson county
politics says
Because the Republican members of
the House Of Assembly exercised their
right to select their own officers and
hold caucus ia the same way that
sessions have been held for years they
have brought on themselves a volume
Of abuse and criticism from indepen-
dent and Democratic newspapers all
over the State. We fail to see where
the selection of Robbins for speaker
and Perkins of Union for leader was
IN any way different from the methods
followed in choosing similar officers
In past years whether the Legislature
was Democratic or Republican.
The charge is made that these Selec-
tionS were dictated by bosses who are
subservient TO corporations but no.
proof has been adduced to sustain the
charge, On the contrary there seems
TO have been little outside Interior
ence IN favor Of these men while on
the contrary such bosses as Colby of
Essex and Record Of Hudson went to
extremes in the policy of trying to.
force their views on the Assembly
men. Their adherents failing to carry
out their plan Of debating to their
Republican colleagues promptly left
the caucus and refused to be bound by
its action. There is plenty of evil
dence to show that Colby and Record
have about determined to assume the
role of dictators and the Republican
ASsemblymen are entitled to the graft
itude of the State for showing them
that they cannot issue orders and
have them obeyed absolutely with the
same degree OF Obediance the Gar of

Essex, read long typewriter state
ment to the effect that there existed
no reason for a Republican caucus be-
cause Of the overwhelming number Of

that there existed no reason for "a Re-

A steering committee of which As
Mills was chairman was APP
pointed. Later in the afternoon Mr..
Mills reported for the committee a
saving of $3.50 Of the peoples money
in the salaries of doorkeepers, pages
and legislative attaches. Only one
Republican raised his voice loud
against this plan and that was Mr..
Miller, of Cumberland, who warned
the members Of the caucus that trou-
BILE awaited them when they went
home and faced the music for not get
ting more jobs for their constituents.
The saving effected by the commit
tee is as follows: Two doorkeepers. at
$3.50 each for the season. two pages,
