FIGHT IN JERSEY.
Crooked Toting Machines and
Repeating Feared IN Paterson.

TBy Tnlcgrc pin to The Tribune.1
Trenton Nj, Nov. 1T. 5. Standeven. city
clerk of Paterson, and the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff OF PassaiC County, to-day
refused to allow Charles o. Fuller, repre-
senting the Secretary of State. to inspect
the voting machine to be used at to-mor-
rows election in Paterson. Mr.. Fuller pre-
sented the proper credentials from the state
Department but the city clerk refused 10
turn over the keys of the voting machines
or to permit him to make an examination.
Mr.. Fuller communicated by telephone
with the office of the Secretary OF State.
and a telegram was sent to the City Clerk
informing him that Mr.. Fuller was per-
forming a duty authorized by law. To this
City Clerk Standeven replied that he did
not question the credentials of Mr.. Fuller.
Late this afternoon Mr.. Fuller again tele-
phOned tho Secretary's office, saying that
the city clerk still refused to have the ma
chimes inspected. He was instructed to take
whatever measures might be necessary TO
compel the making of an inspection before
the opening of the polls tomorrow morning.
There had been rumors of attempts to
tamper with the machines in Passalc
County. but though no credence was at first
placed in the report 1t was thought better
to have the machines Inspected to prevent
possible charges of fraud after election.

al Indications Point to Defeat
of Disfranchiscmfnt.
tEv telegram TO The rribun.

Icy Telegraph The rrihune.l
Baltimore Nov. Livery indication points
to the defeat of the disfranchising amend
ment tomorrow by almost as large ma
jorty as the Poe amendment was showed
under four years ago. The Poe amendmelt
was the late Senator Germans scheme 10
dsfranchse the fifty thousand negro voters
in Maryland Independent Democrats Vot-
ing with the Republicans defeated that
measure by thirty-twO thousand votes
EX-Attorney General Bonaparte said to-
night:
There is absolutely no chance for the
adoption tomorrow of the disfranchising
constitutional amendment except by fraud
among the supervisors of elections in some
countless" declared Charles J. Bonaparte,
In the penitentiary."
Mr. Bonaparte said further that the cleo
ton in this state was in the control of
"scoundrols. every one of whom ought 10 be
in the penitentiary."
The highest majority claimed for the
amendment is 5000. Let us admit that the
Democrats claim a majority of 10000. II
40000 votes are cast out, it is certain that
three-fourths of them will be Republican.
That means that the Democrats will gain
by use of fraudulent ballots 10000 votes.
There are thousands of Democrats, law
yers. business men and others, however,
who are opposed to any constitutional
amendment DISTINGUISHING the negroes.
They do not want to see the Democratic
machine invested with the perpetuty OF
power which such a measure would give.
President Taft and Mr. Bonaparte have de-
clared that it is gross injustice and
violation of the spirit of the F'nteenth
Amendment The President in a recent let
ter declared that the amendment ought
10 be voted down by every one. whether
Democrat or Republican. who is in favor of
a square deal.
