VOTING MACHINE TURNED
DOWN. -.
Delaware Supervisors Refuse to Make
the Purchase.
undergraduates Bulletin-Journal.)

The supervisors of Delaware cOun-
ty turned down the voting, machine
proposition last week after a con
siderable struggle. The promoter had
worked up a good deal of sentiment
in favor Of the project, and quite a
pressure was brought to bear on the
body.
In our Judgment the supervisors
acted in the interest Of Their con-
stituents, There may come time
when it will be. wise for a country
county to invest SIS, 900 or $40, 900 in
voting machines, but, at present it
looks to us as wild and unbusiness-
like project as could be mentioned.
To start with, the people Of Iowa
inaugurated the blanket ballot fad
twenty years ago, In spite OF all
that was said to the contrary, the
system that was in use prior to- that
time was working reasonably we'll
was inexpensive and the voters un-
derstood it. The decisions of the.
courts, for a. long series OF years
were such that the apparent intent, OF
the voter ruled the judges in case Of
doubt and the elections were carried
on with despatch and reasonable sat
isfaction. We have now given nearly
two decades to learning the present
system and have become suffici emily
as to be able to carry on
an election without much difficulty
To 60 all through the education OF
the voters again.in an entirely differ
emit plan seems unbearable.
There may be communities where
the voting machine is a good invest
ment, although even that has yet to
be proved. But in rural counties Ike
Delaware and buchanan. where there
probably have not been five. fraudu-
lent votes cast in twice that many
years, where many public conren-
fences such as roads, bridges, conntY
homes and court houses are yet to be
the voting machine Is "a
luxury that may be dispensed WITH;
at least until it is sold at something
like a reasonable profit above the
cost Of manufacture, by which time
it may be possible to, tell which 0
the many models'is the one best SUIT
ed for public use. Il,
