 Threatens Saloons.
 Opposition which has developed to the efforts of one element to get the town to purchase voting machines for use at future elections indicates that there will be warm time at the spe- clal town meeting Monday evening when the question of abandoning the ballot will be considered The men responsible for the petition for the meeting admit that all are not in accord with their ideas and they confess that the outlook Is not par ticularly bright.
 They claim that the opposition comes from republican politicians and the saloonkeepers who claim that the machine is too complicated for prac- tical use. Postmaster P. J.

 With other advocates he has re- | ceived a series of letters from var l ious towns in which the machines are in use. All communications re- fer favorably to the machine MT. Prior calls attention to the fact that the state spent several thousand dol lars to call a special session of the general assembly to get through measure enabling the troops at the border to vote in the coming election. The soldiers constitute but three fourts of one per cent. of the voters. MT. Prior contends that more than i've per cent of the voters are an- 2ually disfranchised because of the ntricacies of Australian ballot and le argues that by expending a small ,molInt their right of suffrage may be exercised.
 The men. recognized as leaders of he republican party. are said to be opposed to the introduction of the machine and they are expected to inc up against the plan for it's pur- hase.
 The special session will be held in connection with the adjourned annual own meeting and the voting machine
