THOSE VOTING MACHINES.

The following communication was
handed The Sentinel today for pub
lication: =
The Daily Sentinel iw
Why were fifteen thousand dol
lars OF Mesa county's money paid out
for those useless voting machines?
The Daily Sentinel has sounded
the keynote when it said that 1t was
done for the sole purpose of forcing
Republicans to vote a straight ticket.
The republicans fear scratched bal
lots.
Right here, Mr.. Editor, | want to
say that you are right in this matter
and these machines will do something
else besides force voters to vote
straight tickets. These machines will
disfranchise half the voters of Mesa
county as the people will not be able
to operate the machine with which
they are unfamiliar, at rapid
enough rate to permit all voters to
| cast their votes. You mark this
statement and see if in the end ! am
not right.
"lf these machines are used the
people should protest against them
There is no law to compel their use
and the voters of Mesa county viii
find this out.
THE fifteen thousand doilars, II
the opinion of many, should have
been used the erection of de
cent court house than invested IL
voting machines that VIII prove 9
boomerang.

Indications of national
movement among the railroads
to attempt to swing the vote of
the railway labor unions in the
coming election to Taft and the
republican party were unearthed
yesterday in Denver. according
to dispatch today from that
city.
1t is claimed that political clubs
are being formed secretly on some
of the railroads at the suggestion of
the management, and that, while they
are ostensibly not being influenced in
their political affiliations. in reality
they are expected to support the re-
publican ticket.
B. F. Yoakum, president of the
Rock Island company, is said to be
the head of the movement, and in
support of that claim it is said that
thousands of copies of a speech re-
Gently made by Yoakum in, Texas are
being scattered broadcast all over the
country.
Denver officials deny that they
have any knowledge of this move
ment; but the head of one of the
railway union organizations says that
he has been advised that the organ
ization of these clubs has already be-
gun among the employees on the en-
tire Rock Island system.
1t is not thought that the manage
ment of the railroads would make
any open attempt to require the men
to vote the republican ticket, be-
cause such an attempt would likely
cause rebellion among the men;
but the plan is to form clubs which
are for the purpose of discussing po-
litical conditions and then to SO man
ipulate those clubs as to persuade
them to come out for Taft
THE campaign orators of Septem-
Der and October must face a country
full of men out of employment" says
one paragraph in this speech.
THE stump speakers will be seek
ing votes and the idle will be seeking
work That is the keynote of the
speech which is being so widely dis
tributed. 1t goes on to tell that over
4O0,0 600 railroad employees are out
of work and that they are losing $25,-
100000 month in wages as a re-
suit.
The speech goes on to say that it
IS important to elect a president who
viii not allow these conditions to
happen, and, while it does not name
any candidate, the inference is too
strong to be mistaken.
One labor union officer answered
the speech this morning by saying
that all that was necessary to an
swer the argument was to state that
the present depression came while the
republicans We're in power and that
the only way to change them was to
get the republicans out.

Wisconsin Flowers Get in Book.

One of the most stupendOus projects
ever undertaken from viewpoint Of
detail and careful thought involved
is that of tabulating the flowers of the
state of Wisconsin. The task has
been taken up by the Wisconsin Natur-
al History society. a committee was
recently appointed to begin work The
committee has decided that it will
need active cooperation of every
botanist in Wisconsin. With this idea
it has directed its attention to interest
ing the scientists. 1t hopes in the
coming month TO enlist several hun
dred foremost naturalists and appOr.
tiOn to each a district in which to
make investigation. 1t is hoped that
by this means the state may be COW
cred in two or three years. The com
mittee expects the task of compilation
to take at least that length of time.
Many thousand flowers will be listed
and fully described and information
gathered put into book form. Names,
species and description will be noted
and every flower pictured in detail.
1t is probable that a specimen vol
ume, book in which the actual flow
er will be preserved in dried form,
will be compiled

One of the greatest contests III the
history of sport will mark the Franco
British exposition in London this
summer, when the Olympian games,
which have been growing feature
each succeeding year since their re-
viyal. will be held. Thousands and
thousands of lovers of track and field
athletics will crowd this immense
arena, the largest in the world. It is
expected that the tiers upon tiers OF
solid concrete seats able to accom-
modate $4,000 people will be filled,
that 5000 more will fill the available
standing room, while down on the
cnder path the greatest runners and
athletes of the world Will strain
every muscle and sinew to win glory

and will be able to carry off their

Nadison.-Gov Davidson issued a
proclamation taking official notice of
the death at Princeton of former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland. The document
sets forth briefly his cardinal traits
and is as follows:
1t is my sad duty to announce to the
people of Wisconsin the death of former
President Grover Cleveland, who died at
his home in Princeton, n. j. June "a.
Grover Cleveland personitied conscience
In public office. In every station to which
lie was chosen he sought. with all his
ability, to emphasize his motto in politics;
"A public office is a public trust AS
a public official his name is synonymous
with honesty. Grover Cleveland, as pres
ldent, brought to a successful conclusion
the boundary controversy between Nene-
zlea and Great Britain, the United States
intervening as defender of the Monroe
doctrine. During his administration not
able improvement in the postal service
was made especially in the consolidating
of post offices in large Centers so as to
increase the scope of civil service rules.
His courageous disregard of the effect OF
his message favoring reform of the tarin
laws upon his candidacy for second
term as president will always remain
cherished and inspiring legacy to the peo-
pie of the United States. Mr. Cleveland
fame as a statesman, in all llkeHhoou'
