USE OF VOTING
MACHINES MAY
DECIDE CANDIDACY
Ii They Are Discarded in Third
Ward of East Orange Baigrie
Will Run for Council.
THINKS HE HAS A
CHANCE WITH BALLOTS
Song Helped to Defeat Him for
Nomination at the
Primaries.

If voting machines are not used in
the Third Ward, East Orange. Andrew
w. Baigrie will oppose Councilman
Harry J. Burr for election. Mr.. Bal
grie was defeated for the nomination
at the recent primaries after a sternous
contest. after which a recount was
threatened.
The voting machines now in use in
East Orange will hold the names of
only thirty candidates, and in the Third
Ward there are thirty-two candidates
in all. Edward Christopherson. who is
in charge of the machines, said at a
meeting in the ward a short time ago
that the ballots would have to be used
in the Third Ward.
City Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley de-
clared yesterday that as the machines
are scheduled to be used in the ward
again this yea it will be up to him to
place them. With this idea in view Mr..
Rowley will call on Secretary of State
Samuel Dickinson to supply a machine
capable of holding all the names in the
ward.
With only NJ. Burr to oppose, Mr..
Baigrie feels from the vote expressed
at the primaries that he would have
a good chance to win in case ballots
are used.
1t was a song that helped to defeat
Mr.. Baigrie at the primaries. The for
mer city father, 1t is said, sang or re-
cited frequently a song which reflected
on Mayor Cardwell, several other city
officials. and Michael Loprete. the city
scavenger. who is a power in Third
Ward politics.

HURT
At BLAZE THAT
UNR00FEO HOUSE
Fall from Ladder Injuries Men
Working to Save South
Orange Dwelling.

A spark from the chimney caused a
fire which left the fine home of Solomon
II. Howe, in Charlton avenue, South
Orange, roofiess last night. The dam
age amounted to $500.
The fire started when the family
were getting ready for supper, and the
blaze got a big Roadway on the roof
before being noticed. Orange fire en-
gines We're quick to respond, but the
fire alarm did not work to satisfaction,
and the locomotive whistle in the
Lackawanna roundhouse did not blow.
Because of this but few of the volun-
teers were var OF the fire.
During the blaze several firemen were
injured. Frederick A. iIelmlinger, of
the Truck Company, and Foreman
John j. Farrell, of Hose Company No.
2, fell from a ladder which slid from
the side of the building. James f.
Farrell, of Hose Company No. 1, was
also slightly injured.

Slim Woman Is Winning

The day Of the slim woman's triumph
has arrived. 1.-THE thinner one is the
more stylish" say the dressmakers.
This would have been sad news for the
fat woman a year ago. She would nave
had to try dieting or exercise. Nowadays,
however, the woman who is too fat for
the styles goes to a druggist and gets a
case of Marmola Prescription Tablets, one
of which she takes after each meal and
at bedtime and so reduces her superfiuous
flesh quickly.
These tablets, being made in accord
ance with the famous prescription, are per-
fectly harmless. and they are, also, the
most economical preparation a person can
INV for they cost only rs cents a large
case, one of which is frequently enough to
a person to losing fat at the rate OF
IL or IA ounces a day. Pretty nearly
every druggist keeps this tablet in stock.

The South and the Cabinet.

For the first time since before the
civil war there is Southern Secre-
tary of War. From 1850 up to the
time of the war a quartet of South
erners filled the Office one after the
other, of whom jefferson Davis was
one.
The South was pleased to be well
remembered during the Cleveland ad-
.ministrations. In the first term, Lamar,
of Mississippi, was Secretary of the
Interior, and Augustus II. Garland, of
Arkansas, Attorney General, which was
not so very bold a beginning; and in
1889, when the Office came into ex-
Istence, Mr.. Cleveland made Norman
!. ColmaH, of Missouri, Secretary of
Agriculture. When the New Yorker
returned to the Presidents chair he
brought to Washington as Cabinet Off
GERS Carlisle, of Kentucky; HOke
Smith, of Georgia; Hilary A. Herbert,
of Alabama, and later on Smith was
succeeded as Secretary Of the Interior
Dy David L. Francis, of Missouri.
But neither Cleveland nor any other
President in the last sixty years OF
more has appointed a Southern sue
cessor to Calhoun as Secretary of
State. Cleveland had Bayard, of Della
ware. and later Gresham, of Illinois,
and Olnev. of Massachusetts.
Grant, in 1859, appointed John A. J.
Cresswell, of Maryland, to be Post
master General, and he made another
man from the South, James W. Mar
shall, of Virginia, CressweIPs success
sor; in 1870 he put Amos 7. Acker-
man, of Arkansas, in the Attorney
Generals Office. Four years later he
chose Benjamin II. Bristow, of Ken
lucky, to be Secretary of the Treas
ury. This was part of Grants scheme
Of reconstruction. In 1881 Garfield
made William II. Hunt, of Louisiana
Secretary of the Navy, and Mckinley
IN 1897, appointed James A. Gary, OF
MARYLAND, Postmaster General. But
with the exception of the Grant and
| cleveland administrations, the South
TO- reasons which are perhaps obvious
has been generally overlooked. Presi
dent Roosevelt has had Bonaparte al
the council table since 1905; ard now
he calls General Wright.
The selection of this Tennesseean il
all the more interesting in view o.
the fact that he has been known al
gold Democrat Mr. Taft would
court the favor of the South, and may
be he will ask Wright and other South
erners TO help him.
