sense to Plainville and it's voting ma

but one machine here and another

perfect voting machines. This is the
way in which the machines were
poured upon Plainville: On July
a voting machine was shipped from
Jam estown, n Y. but was lost in
transit. When the lost machine was
not here for the annual election ma
chine was borrowed from New Brit
ain AS the law provides that ma
chine cannot be removed from the
place of voting for a period of six
weeks after the time of the voting,
that machine is still here. Last Thurs
day a, machine arrived by express and
a letter accompanying it stated that it
was to replace the machine which was
lost in transit That made three ma
chimes. On Saturday, Selectman John
son was notified that there was a vot-
ing machine for him at the freight
depot What was. his surprise when
upon looking the matter up he learned
that it was the long lost machine
which had finally arrived home after
journey of four months. The ma
chine was stranded in Poughkeepsie.

an agent of the Automatic Registering
