PATERSON ASKS ELECTION
TO GUST VOTING MACHINES.

PATTERSON, Nov. 11.-Democrats and
Republicans, disguised at the strange
antics of a number of voting machines
at the recent election in registering
more votes than there were voters, are
signing a petition, which is to be pre-
scented to the Board of Aldermen with
a request that a special election be held.
That the request will be granted Is al
most certain, now that the board con-
sists of thirteen Democrats as nine
Republicans. Last year the Republi-
cans were in the majority, and when a
like petition was presented kept away
from the City Hall.
A number of independent political
organizations are having petitions cir
culated through the wards. and the
fate of the machines is said to be but
a matter of time.
