chimes viii save 80 Per cent on printing
and 20 per cent on election expenses.
As far as the accuracy and efficiency
is concerned it will be a marvel No
over ballots The machine can not pos
sibIy tell a lie"
Another advantage Of the machine
over other machines Is the weight and
construction When the different com
panfeS gave their exhibition before the
council not long ago It took blocks,
tackles and trucks OF every kind to get
some Of the machines I'D in the cOuu-
ell chamber. The Kansas machine was
carried up IN folded condition and
two men walked right up the stairs
with IL as easily as II they were carry
ing their dinner pail Furthermore this
machine can be stored away in leaky
school houses in damp cellars and IT
will never rust-nothiug on 1t can rust
Aluminium is used instead Of steel and
copper Is used in many other places
As proof OF their confidence the
Kansas voting machine people are more
than anxious to see the bill pass the
legislature which provides for a board
Of election commissioners whose duty
It is TO examine all the voting machines
before they are put into use They are
also interested in having all Of the
presidential electors combined in such
a manner that they can be elected by
are anxious to see passed Is To cut the
election boards from i've men TO three
men This would give the voters them
selves the full benefit Of the economy
This is the last frantic cry for regis
tratfon-the books close tonight at 10
O'Clock Yesterday was a good day
and when the books closed last night
This IS 5000 short OF the normal reg
fstration and business Will have to pick
up today 70 even things up
