Abolish the VOTING Machine.

There are two bills in the Legislature
affecting the Voting Machine Commission
law. One which has been passed simply
extinguishes the commission and transfers
the duties thereof to the Secretary of
State. The other bill. passed by the AS,
sembly and not acted on by the Senate, re-
peals the law authorizing voting machines.
That is the bill that should be passed be-
fore this Legislature finally adjourns. The
objects is not SO much to get rid Of the
commission as to get rid Of the machine
The people Of this State, and we speak for
no particular class, condemn the machine
To thousands Of voters it is Chinese puzzle.
Even trained professional men, and their
number is many, have been unable to
master its mechanism In this State there
is multi ude Of foreign born voters against
whose rights of citizenship the voting ma
chine is a bar and discrimination. These
people can very easily understand the pap
Ell ballot, but they cannot master the in
tricate device set up for them to vote into.
That the voting machine is the enemy of
the independent ballot can no longer be
denied. In very many cases it prevents
the voter from splitting his ticket, while
at the same time the click of the machine
betrays the voter who understands it well
enough to split his ticket. 1t is the sense
of workingmen generally throughout New
Jersey, and it is the just demand of organ
lied labor, that the voting machine should
be abolished and the Senate is looked to to
pass that bill and rid the State of mechan-
ical incumbrance. Newark Star.

TO PROBE MERCER.


With this in mind many of the Demo-
cratic legislators took the view that If one
or two counties were to feel the probe the
others should not be allowed to 90 un-
sacthed, and the resolution to extend the
powers of the house committee is the result.
Il is now likely that the Hahn committee
will not only continue to investigate state
officers, but also conditions in the Mercer
county offices and of the affairs of Camden
and Essex counties. Among the cities that
will probably be placed under the search
light are Trenton, Newark and Camden.
In order to place beyond doubt the right
of the house committee to proceed, Mr..
Baekes, at the opening of YESTERDAYS ses
sion, presented long resolution setting
forth that doubt had been expressed, as to
whether the committee could exercise the
power conferred upon it because the reso-
luton by which it was created had not
received the votes of the majority
of the assembly it should be re-
solved that it is the intention Of the assem-
bly, that the committee shall be the agent
Of the house and the authority of the assem-
bly, is gwen to the committee to exercise its
discretion for the purpose Of carrying out
the purposes expressed in the resolution of
June 90
1t was at this point that Mr.. Alexander
presented on amendment that county and
city funds be included in the scope Of the
committees power" Mr.. Barber thought
the amendment wonld destroy the useful
ness of the resolution, and after some dis
custom the matter was laid over.
Subsequently Mr.. Alexander offered an
amendment to the preamble so that it stated
that the committee was appointed for the
purpose of investigating county and muni-
cipal expenditures as well at those OF this
state. On the roll call the amendments and
Mr.. Barber's resolution was adopted BY q
vote Of 40 toe.

JULY SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE.

Both branches of the legislature met at the
capital last Friday. One of the first acts Of
the House of Assembly was to direct Clerk
Michael W Higgins to send communiea-
tion to the senate, asking for the return of
all bills passed bv the house at the regular
session, but which had been left to slumber
in the senate committees or had been de-
feated in the upper branch.
The communication recommended that in
order TO save the expense of printing, which
would be incurred should the bills be intro
duced anew, the senate return them. The
list included =
House l, by Mr.. Holcombe, repeals the
act for purchase of voting machines.
House 6, by Mr.. Alexander, corrupt prac-
tice act
House and 10, by Mr.. Hendriokson,
taxes main stem of railroads for local pur
poses at local rates.
House II, authorizes boroughs or other
municipalities to make contracts for water
with other municipalities.
House 221, by Speaker Lethbridge, pro-
yides for personal registration of voters.
House 225. by Mr.. Baader, repeals the
Meeker act as to terms of officials.
House 319, by Mr. Tumulty, the quo
warranto act.
House 400, by Mr.. Baader, provides for
spring elections for municipal officers.
House 497, by Mr.. Sullivan, compels
railroads to first get consent of governing
bodies Of municipalities before tunneIing
streets.
1t will be noted that several of these
measures passed months ago and which
were killed by the senate, have since been
introduced and passed by the senate as
original reform measures
When the message was received in the
senate, Senators Gebhart and Silzer urged
that the bills be returned and, on motion
Of the latter, the rules were suspended.
Senator Robbins spoke against the PROPOSE
tion, saying that the bills had been prop
erly considered at the anti-recess session, but
the message was recognized and the bills re-
turned

INVESTIGATION.

In retaliation for the action of the senate
in creating committee with powers to in
Yestigate the affairs of counties and munich
palities, as we'll as the state government,
the house, by unanimous vote, enlarged
the powers of the Hahn committee so
that it, too, can delve into county and
municipal affairs.
When the house committee was originally
established it was for the sole purpose of
investigating irregularities in the state
government Following out this intent,
partisan manner, and Democratic officials
were roasted on the grill as we'll as the Re-
publicans. When, after graft and oorrup-
tion had been developed and it was deemed
wise to continue the Hahn committee at
work, the intention to confine its scope to
state affairs prevailed.
But these disclosures had a somewhat
different effect upon the Republicans in the
senate. Suddenly they became convinced
that they should probe into the affairs Of
some of the counties and cities Of the state
and unearth irregularities that would Offset
the disclosures of the Hahn committee
1t is an open secret that the senate COM
mittee would only find time to investigate
the affairs Of such counties as are in control
of the Democrats, before election. This
would probably mean that Hudson and
Passaic counties would be looked into by
the senate committee, while the counties
controlled by the Republicans would be left
severely alone. In fine, it would be pro-
gram designed solely for the creation Of
political capital.
