VOTING MACHINE LAW o. X.
Judge Gage of Saginaw Says LesisIa-
tive Act is Constitutional.

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. 26.-Judge
William Glover Gage, I'M the circuit
court here, has handed down a deci-
sion in the suit instituted here by At
torney T. G. Baille and Corporation
Counsel Hally of Detroit to test the
constitutionality of the voting ma
chine act Of 1909. He denies the petit
tion of the plaintiffs for mandamus
to compel the use of paper ballots at q
special election to be held here in Feb
ruarv and holds the law to be consti-
tutional.
Judge Cages decision is lengthy
and quotes many decisions in support
of his opinion. He holds that the ma
chine in use here the same the city
Of Detroit proposed to purchase, COM
plies with the law and gives the voter
legal knowledge OF whom he casts
his vote for. He also decides that the
provision Of the act which permits a
challenged voter to cast his ballot does
not violate the constitution by allow
ing an unqualified person to vote.
These were the two main points in
volved in the case.
In regard to the first contention
Judge Gage says:
"The great care with which the leg
islature mas prescribed the form Of
construction and the manner of opera
tion of these machines. and the min
ute regulations for instructing voters
and for the use of machines at elec-
tions. seems to safeguard fully the
rights of the elector. and to give 20
him all the assurance requisite that
his vote has been recorded as he de-
sired.

JACK pot" Will
FIGURE LARGELY
IN LORIMtR CASE
Fight Is Being Made To Exclude It.
-Sheriffs Are Busy After Wit
nesses in The Case.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-With the open
ing of the first session for the taking
of testimony in the Lorimer election
scandal, a warm skirmish is expected
today over the admissibility of evil
dence relating to the famous Jack
pot" payments to Illinois legislators in
bath rooms at st. Louis and Spring
field
From the start the prosecution, rep
resented by Attorney Alfred Austrian,
will be able to wage brisk battle for
the admission of testimony anent the
"Jack pot" and the alleged "Jack pot
ters." In his address opposing the
application of Senator Lorimer Satur-
day Mr.. Austrian said he had evidence
showing that the same stick that
tarred the Jack potters'' was also
used in the campaign to elect Mr.
Lorimer a Senator of the United
States. He will claim that the Sen
ate investigating committee, If they
desire to get to the bottom of the
Lorimer scandal, can ignore hair-split
ting technicalities and legal Pigments
and question anybody they please up
on any topic or incident tending tc
aid them in getting at the truth.
For the defense Attorney Elbridge
Hanye will argue for rule to exclude
all the testimony of Jack potting'
on the ground that the so-called Jack
pot" has never been shown to have
any direct or necessary connection
with Lorimer in the majority that
elected him a Senator.
Deputy marshals were busy today
in Chicago and throughout the State
serving subpoenas for the thirty-fve
witnesses whose names were given tc
the Investigators Friday by Attorney
Austrian, representing the Legislative
Voters League and others interested
in the fight that is being made or

Charles White, chief accuser OF
Lee O'Neil Browne, in the criminal
court trials, is expected to be one OF
