such as the survival of the contract

elsewhere such as the fact that the
New York fiscal agent. who handles
hundreds of thousands OF dollars worth
of goods. engages in outside business to

THE VOTING MACHINES.

The voting machines used in Eeslsr-
days election were success. Some OF
the voters blocked proceedings. now
and then and sometimes more often,
by NOT being wholly familiar with the
new way OF voting Many voted in five
seconds. but now and then man took
several minutes ard there is one rum
ored instance in which man TOOK
twenty minutes. He went in the box to
study out how he wanted to vote 1t
may he necessary TO limit a man 10 a
minute or TO two minutes anu il ne IS
81 the box after that il may be pre-
syrned that he needs some one to show
him how 10 vote. Many men went In
with indefinite ideas Of how they were
going 10 vote and they studied the
names or the machine instead u hav-
ing studied them before they went in.
When q voter has his mind made up
and knows how 10 shift few indi-
Gators the problem is simple and the
speed hat can be made is wonderful.
The voters must also learn 20 string

TO have their votes cast. But taken
altogether the new way OF voting was
satisfa Glory to all and the machines do
away with toilsorne counting. 1t might
be well to divide up some OF the heaV-
Ter precincts. There are some pre-
cincts in Cedar Rapids that cast over
1900 votes. That means 100 an hour
during the time the polls are open. A
hundred an hour is possible for the
voting machines. but they would all
have to be voters who would know
how they were going to vote. 1t might
be better to count not more than 500
votes to a machine. or fifty an hour. A
few such details Will have to be work
ed out IN the future. but the voting
machines were ready to do the work.
