ments were carried by 8 to 1.
All of the constitutional amendments
appear to have received a majority.
The socialists made "a strong show
ing throughout the entire county
Many votes were lost in this county
because of the inability of voters TO
operate properly the voting machines
in use in every precinct. The actual
number of disfranchised persons who
believed they were casting their ballots
will not be ascertained until the official
canvass is made. but from the returns
made by the election officers it was ap-
parent that the number is considerable
Returns from several precincts
showed that the votes registered by the
machine totalled less than the number
of voters who appeared at the polls and
used the machines. This was attributed
to the mechanism of the machines The
voters who were not acquainted with
the machine rolled the big crank which
opened the machine, but failed to lift
the party crank which would register
the vote. Thus. turning back the large
crank. the uninitiated merely had
opened and closed the machine without
casting their votes.
In three precincts of Berkeley pro-
tests against the machines were made
because it was found impossible to vote
for both Sloss and Lawlor for supreme
justices, their names appearing in op-
posite columns under the same voting
number. In one Berkeley precinct a
hurry call was made for another ma
chine to accommodate the long line of
waiting voters.
