UNCLE JOE" WAS ON HAND

Uncle Joe" Cannon came to town

advertisement writer's at the Harvest

cornstalks and pumpkins and sur

Your Uncle Joe, who was never in
finer fettle, proceeded in his speech
to touch up all the public men, is
sues and institutions that seemed to
require attention and then to cap the
climax drew an imaginary bow across
imaginary fiddlestrings while he sang
the refrain Of an old-fashioned cOun-
try song.
The Speaker had fired shot at
Rockefeller and two shots at Bryan
and had run the gamut several times
from politics to poetry when, gazing
with misty eyes on the pumpkins and
cornstalks, he dropped into a rhap-
sody of farm days of another genera
ton. In rhymthic prose he sketched
a picture Of a bob sled crowded with
boys and girls beneath buffalo robes
speeding over the snowy roads to the
cabin Of a distant farmer, there to
trip the light fantastic and money

HOW THEY VOTE BY MACHINE
INDIANA TRIED 1T FOR FIRST
TIME AT RECENT ELECTION.
An interesting Description of How
the Patriots Confide Their Pref
erenceS to the Machine.

erences to the Machine.
In q number of northern and west
ern states the voting machine is used.
In Indiana this method of voting was
used in the recent election, and for
the first time the voters of that state
contided their preferences to a ma
chine. They turned the crank, and
the machine did the rest
A number of the machines were
let out week in advance of the
election in order that voters might
practice upon them. 1t is said, how
ever, that democrats were not given
a chance at the machines.
+ The face of the voting machine as
pictured by the Indianapolis News re-
sembles a switchboard more than
anything else, there being seven rows
across the board, each row contain
ing thirty-nine keys. Each row of
keys, horizontally, represents a par
ty, and each row, vertically, an office.
Opposite each party row is the
name of the party and also a picture
/ or device. This latter is for the ben
eft of illiterate voters, who general
/ ly vote straight ticket The insig-
MIA Of the democratic party in Indi-
/ ana is a rooster rampant; of the re-
publican party an eagle in fight; of
! the prohibition party a rising sun;
of the peoples party middle-buster
pillow; Of the socialist party the
earth with hands clasped across il;
of the socialist labor party an arm
and hammer, and of the Independ-
ence party balances.
When the voter goes into the booth
| he pulls a lever overhead which
causes curtains to draw across the
| doorway so that no one may observe
his further movements. He then
picks out the row of keys devoted to
the party with which he desires to
vote, and turns a little crank at the
head of such row until a bell rings.
Every key in that party's row will
fall. If the voter desires to vote a
straight ticket he then pulls a lever
overhead and this registers his vote.
! If, however, he does not desire to
vote straight he refrains from pull
ing said overhead lever at this time,
but raises one by one the keys Of
those candidates of his party for
whom he does not desire to vote, and
pulls down the keys for such candi-
dates of other parties as he desires
to vote for in substitution. Having
done this Scratching" he pulls the
lever overhead and registers his vote.
Each voter is allowed one minute
in which to cast his ballot. This
/ limitation, it would seem, would dis
courage scratching and promote the
voting of straight tickets. There
was, however, much scratching in
Indiana this year.
The principal advantage in ma
chine voting is that the ballots are
automatically counted, which makes
the returns Immediately available
upon the closing of the polls, and con-
sequently gratifes an eXpectant pub
lie and cuts off opportunities for bal
lot box stufiing.
