The OLD time way
Attorney General Says No Law
to Allow Voting Machines.
They Will Therefore Not Be
Installed at Next Election.

IN all probability Topeka will not
DE allowed to use voting machines at
the election in November. c. B. Burge,
city clerk, and Charles Hull, manager
of the National Voting Ma chine COM
pany stated this afternoon that an or
DER from the attorney general, John
Dawson, is anticipated soon-an order
requesting the city to vote under the
old established system next month
The fact that there is no law in Kan
SaS giving cities permission to vote
with the machines, is the reason given.
Even though the attorney general
does not enforce an order, it IS reared
that the city precincts in Topeka are
too large for the capacity Of the me-
chanical voters. Topeka has num-
Der of precincts with registration
and a natural vote of NOR than 999.
The voting machines have a capacity
of 999 votes. This means that it
would be necessary to install two ma
chimes or cut the precincts IN nan. II
IS TOO late to redistrIct the city voting
precincts at this time and it is unlike
ly, according to report at the city hail
that the National V-oting Machine
company will furnish more than one
machine for each city precinct.
The physical impossibility of handling
Topeka voters with a single voting
machine in each precinct, is being dis
cussed by those who are acquainted
with the situation. In a few. of the
Topeka precincts it is thought one
machine may be sufficient. In others
it is sure to require two, and in few
three may be needed
Here are a few figures that are pc
ing discussed: From the time the polls
omen at o'clock in the morning, I'M
til they close at Z at night there are
$50 minutes. An average of a vote
minute for the entire day is more than
can be expected. If an average
of a vote in minute and half Is
maintained it is believed the election
officers will be doing well. The ma
chimes are capable but are new to To-
peka voters.
In some of the precincts there are
more voters already registered than
possibly could be accommodated our
ing an entire day if they kept coming
one at a time through the day city
officials say And as there Will be
times when a score or more Will ap-
pear at once, the situation will be
man understanding the machine
will be able to vote, even if he scratch
es his ticket, in half minute. a man
who wishes to vote a straight ticket
could vote in less than five seconds.
But the man who is not familiar with
the machine will have to have 1t eX-
planned to him, thereby entailing a loss
of time. And while the explanation
goes on a score of men may be wait
ing to vote.

New York. Oct. 17.-That Russia Is
to abolish the dread decree of ban
ishment to Siberia by order of the
car is the news received here in ad-
vices from st. Petersburg. The Rus
sian minister of justice it is said is
preparing a bill completely abolishing
penal servitude in Siberia, and SUBJ
shutting the same punishment in the
pen1tentiary of European Russia
OF late years the number of convicts
in Siberia has been increasing and
there have been protests from the free
population that the country is overrun
with the scum of European jails The
authorities recognize that the dump
ing of convicts in Siberia is seriously
hampering the development of that
country.
