Perdido Bridge Contract
to Be Considered Tomorrow.

After several months consideration
of the project TO erect a steel bridge
at Muscogee over the Perdido river be
tween Escambia county, Florida, and
Baldwin county, Ala. the county com
nissioners viii meet in special ses-
sion tomorrow night, to either award
the contract or TO throw out the two
bids they now have under cOnsidera-
ton and call for new ones.
The situation is one in which the
taxpayers Of Escambia county and
of Baldwin county are deeply inter
ested. as the cost OF the bridge will
be jointly borne by the two counties.
There were originally four bidders
for the. contract. but the board reject
ed two Of the bids a undesirable, and
the two remaining bids which they
ROW have under consideration are
from the Gulf Machine Works, Of
Pensacola. and the Southern Bridge
Company Of Birmingham, the bid OF
the latter concern being about $500
lower than that Of the former.
In view Of this difference in the
bids Of the two concerns, it is highly
probable that both viii be rejected
and that new bids viii be called for
In fact, If the commissioners should
Tot be satisfied with the lower bid,
that would seem TO be the only prac-
tical way out of the difficulty.
Escambia cOUnty's experience in
bride building in the past should be
6 sufficient guide for caution and bust
ness Judgment in the present case,
and inasmuch as another county in
an adjoining state is equally interest
ed with Escsmbia. the awarding of a
CONTRACT should be particularly well
guarded.

The Machine
Method af Voting.

The use Of automatic voting ma
chimes to prevent fraud at elections is
being agitated in many sections Of the
country and such machines have al
ready been used in Massachusetts,,
New York. New Jersey and tried in
other states with marked success. As
their advantage over the present
method Of voting by ballot is unques-
toned their general adoption can only
be a matter Of time. Relative to the
recent experience Of The New Jersey
Voting Commissioners with the ma
. chimes the New Orleans States has
the following:
After a careful study of the expert
ence with voting machines at several
elections the New Jersey Voting Com
missioners have decided that the ma
chimes have established their value as
reliable and accurate devices for the
recording OF votes. 1t seems that New
Jersey has exercised considerable eau
ton in adopting the machines and the
limited number in use has been the
subject OF four reports from the State
Voting Commissioners, but ninety
new machines were purchased in 1905
making the total equipment in use at
che last fall election 36l.
Reports. received from all the munic-
lpal clerks having charge Of the de-
vices were of the most satisfactory
character. The few that failed to
work accurately had either been in
tentionally injured or had been sub
3ect 10 careless manipulation by I'M
instructed voters. The Commission
ers name I'm their report the election
districts in which the machines were
criticised. and report that not only IN
the voting districts where no com
plant was made. but particularly in
those where the vote for candidates
was questioned the contrast has been
made so striking between voting by
PAPER ballot, with its many errors. and
voting by machine. with complete
freedom from error wherever the ma
chine was correctly set, 'as to point
the way without question 10 a more
complete use Of the machines for vot-
ing purposes
The anding Of the Commissioners Is
so conclusive that the gradual intro
duction of the device in all the voting
districts in the state seems probable.
The Commissioners recommend that
future purchases Of machines should
be so distributed as TO complete the
equipment in districts now having one
or more. The two systems Of voting

officers.
The commissioners urge a more sys-
tematic method of educating voters in
the use Of the machines, for the rea-
son that whatever dissatisfaction eX-
lists is due entirely TO the voters lack
of familiarity with them, but the COM
missiOners are convinced that every
person learning how to use them will
strengthen the public opinion in favor
Of the state installing them in all the
election districts. No mention is
made in the repOrt of the commission
ers. however,, regarding the cost of
conducting an election with the ma
chimes as compared with the old meth
Cd Of voting, but it is quite well known
that the installation of the machines
is expensive and that only the richer
states can afford to adopt them, as
the machines cost $500 apiece.

She had been horribly ripped and
slashed. One cash had severad the

We're to have a conspicuous part in the

to return to lawful pursuits rather
than jeopardize their liberty by fur
ther supporting what the government
characterizes as a hopeless case.

following his conference with Presi-

that with the exception of Pine Guer-

prepared to disband their men If as

mas with MN formidable body Of
men, but his recent inactivity leaves
the impression that he desires rather
to make a display of force than to do
any serious fighting. His earlier
promises to capture Pinar del Rio and
then march on Havana, followed by
a period of inactivity, has apparently
injured his prestiges among the insur-
gents and sympathizers, who had ex-
pected him to make a bold dash at
the government forces.
President Palma's instructions of
Monday have made a good impress
sion, especially among the business
men, whose interests are seriously
threatened by the disturbed condition
OF affairs. President Palma's son
has joined the army, and his daugh-
ter has become an army nurse. These
enlistments have also had a good ef-
