the city OF Chicago and the town OF

ing by machine or by ballot at the cleo
tion to be held q week from next Tues
day, The privilege of optional voting Is
given because the Judges feared the
rights Of the voters might be interfered

candidates and propositions to be voted
upon by persons who have not had the
time nor the opportunity to familiarize
themselves with mechanical voting. The
board OF election commissioners is in

In the districts selected for the instala-
tion of machines. and the court ruled
that each voter may choose his method
without suggestion or advice of the

voting machines was made by the Re-
publican organization of that state. The
use Of the voting machines had been or
dered by u Democratic election board.
The supreme court in rendering its de-

The Constitutionality of the voting

It's constitutionality WAS upheld In

now is that the Turks are in moro
