VOTING MACHINES.

Tuesday. July 9Th the citizens of
Lambertville will he given the oppor-
tnnity to vote for or against the vot-
ing machine.
The great majority of the citizens
of Lambertvile favor honest elec
tons, they care not whether they
cast II paper ballot or vote by machine
their only concern IL, which method
gives the greatest assurance that the
will of the people as expressed by
their vote will be carried ont. All
such voters should pause aud reflect
before casting vote against the vot-
ing machine. The following from
the Trenton Times il well worth the
careful consideration of all honest
voters
The recount of the Mayoralty vote in New
York has started agitation In favor of the
adoption of voting machines in the metropo-
lis. Several of the larger cities IN tho State
have been using the machines for years and
curiously enough they have not been able to
find the causes for complaint that are being
urged in New Jersey AZ reason for abandon
ing machine voting
In Burlington, Bergen, Hudson, Union and
some of the other counties, steps are being
| taken to test popular sentiment on the ques-
| ton of abolishing the machines or course,
| the agitation was started and IN being pressed
| by the opposition, some Of which is honest,
| but much of it due to prejudice aud n desire
| for return TO the ballot system, under which
| the political workers can be assured that the
votes they buy are delivered.
New York's experience in the Hearst Nc
| Clellan contest ought to go far toward con
| yineinR reasonable persons that the voting
\ machines, honestly operated, are superior to
| the old paper ballot. Once n ballot il cast on
| u machine, there can be no question of the
| intent Of the voter and no expensive and an
| noying recount, In which IL new set OF iudgea
reject ballots once counted. connt others once
rejected, and class az marked" such IA have
| minor imperfeetions that would not be notie-
ed by an impartial and unprecedented Judge.
The indications are that the use OF the ma
chimes in New Jersey will be discontinued il
n year or two: but il they are they will be re
adopted later on They are quick, accurat,
and give assurance that the vote will be reg
stered and counted. There have been many
very many, cases in which paper ballots fail
cd to get into the boxes; others in which bal
lots cast were not counted; and still others il
which the boxes were stuffed before the vot
ing began
A granolithic pavement is beinl
laid in front of the residence at, til,
corner OF York and Franklin streets.

SAYS TENTH is FOR TAFT

Milwaukee Sentinel:-That the
Tenth congressional district will be
for William H. Taft for president was
the contention of Ed ward M/Smart of
Merrill, who vas at the PlankintOn
house yesterday. Mr.. Smart is one of
Merrill's leading attorneys and he is a
former chairman of the Republican
county committee and the Republican
congressional committee.
1.-The sentiment in the Tenth dis
trict seems to be for Taft" said Mr.
Smart. While our part of the state
is not teeming with political discus
sion as yet, what talk is heard seems
to indicate that delegates favoring the
Ohio man will 60 from our district to
Chicago. He is looked upon as the
ablest man to succeed Roosevelt. AS
to the question of delegates | have
heard no names mentioned as yet.
The above statement coming from
Edward M. Smart. of Merrill, may be
just passing expression of his, with
out Investigating the true conditions
in the Tenth Congressional district.
We beg TO differ with him in his
opinion, and have reasons for believ.
ing from our correspondence in the
district, that he will find himself very
much mistaken, when he says the
Tenth Congressional is not for Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette. 1t is oul
opinion that when the results of the
| primary election for the election OF
delegates is known that those favor,
ing Senator LaFollette for president
will be elected. At least we are will
Ing to 60 on record to that end.

WARMEST In
FIVE YEARS
January 1908 has Already Made
Record.

The weather this year has been. re.
markable, and old settlers are rachine
their memories to recall the time When
Grand Rapids weather conditions were
the same as this year.
A glance at the records as kept by
Wea therman Ed. Mahoney is inter
esting to say the least, for those re-
cords disclose the fact that this is the
mildest January so far for the past
five years.
The lowest point reached this win
ter SO far, was on New Years day
when the thermometer went to IL de-
greeS below zero. The next coolest
day was on the 9Th when it registered
four below; and on the fifth when it
reached three below.
r On the other hand we find that on
the Goth day of January 1907 the
thermometer went to sc zen below zero,
and fell steadily until January 3Oth,
when it reached 26 below zero. The
lowest point reached, during January
1906 was on the 9th, when the ther-
mometer reached Is below: in 1905 on
the 30th when it reached 26 below:
and in 1904 on the 18th when it reached
384 below.
The records also show that the
warmest day in January this month
was on the Doth. The thermometer
then registered 40 degrees. On Jan.
19-1907 it reached 40 degrees: Jan.
2Sth-l906 Al degrees, Jan 1895, Al
degrees: and Jan. 23-1904, 30 degrees.
1t is also noticeable that there has
been no precipitation. either rain or
snow. during this month.

TWENTY CRIMES
LAST YEAR
Report Of Circuit Court Clerk
Shows Little Crime in County.

Circuit Court Clerk A. B. Bever has
prepared his annual report TO the
state showing the amount Of crime
committed in Wood county for the
year 1907. The report is short one
and indicates in no uncertain manner
that Wood county has few criminals
as compared to other counties in the
state.
The report shows that during 1907
only one homicide was committed.
1t shows that eleven felonies were
committed, and eight lesser crimes
making a total of twenty crimes for
the whole year.
This report also shows the DISPOSE
tion Of these crimes. Ten convictions
were secured. Nine of the cases were
nolleG. or dropped. At the end of the
year one case was still pending.
