BOARD AUTHORIZED TO PUR-

VOTE OF TO I.
SEVEN COUNTRY PRECINCTS
AGAINST LARGER FAIR.
Proposal For Board to Pay $500 For
Bradbury and Vail Lands, Of About
Eight Acres, Carries Easily-Eden
Township, Always Against County
Fair, Leads Opposition.

The county fair grounds will be
enlarged by the purchase Of the
Bradbury and Vail estate tracts, of
about eight acres, and the grounds
will be extended to the south as far
as the Chicago Great Western right
of-way. This was the result Of the
special election at the primary Mon
day. The proposal to authorize the
board Of supervisors to buy the land
for $500 and turn it over to the fair
association carried by 1908 to 436,
with three precincts missing.
The election boards Of the three
missing precincts did not include the
result on this special ballot with their
other returns. In the city the pro-
posal carried by b4S t. 1874.
Tho proposal was defeated in seven
of the county precincts. but In most
Of them by only small margin.
Eden, which always has been against
the county fair because 1t interfered
with the Eden district fair, led the
opposition. Other precincts in which
the opposition was in the majority
were Bangor, Jefferson No. l. Le-
Grand No. 2. Logan No. ., Minerva
and Timber Creek. -

VOTING MACHINES
CAUSE PROTEST
MANY VOTERS UNABLE TO OP-
ERATE THEM OR FIND CAM
DIDATES' NAMES.
TOTAL VOTE CUT BY
LONG WAIT AT POLLS
Trouble Experienced at All Precincts
BY Failure Of Voters to Inform
Themselves How to Operate Ma
chines--Others Who Knew How
to Vote Had No Trouble.

The first test Of voting machines
with full ballot, as used Monday in
the primary election, has not proved
successful-at least not in the opin-
ion Of many voters. and especially
older voters: Whatever failure, how
ever. that was due to the use Of the
machines was not due to the ma,
chimes themselves but was due en-
tirely to those who manipulated them.
Altho simplicity itself in its opera
ton, many voters found the greatest
difficulty In voting with them and
many were not able TO vote, or would
not wait because Of the congestion at
the polls.
One OF the chief complaints seems
to have been inability OF voters to
find the name OF the candidate for
whom they wanted to vote. 1t was
explained repeatedly thru the news
paper and at the polls that the re-
publican candidates were in two rows
on the tickets and the democratic In
one.
City Wards Vote Slowly.
voters, and in spite Of the fact that
machines were in operation for prac-
tice at ward polling places for days
before the primary, many voters
came to the polling place without
seemingly the slightest idea Of how
to operate the machines.
Those who had informed themselves
had little difficulty, but as rule the
voting by the machines was slow. In
the Second ward where the voters,
probably as whole were us well in
formed as in any, the average was
| four and one -half minutes per voter
when the rush Of voting was on. In
some instances voters requires as
long as ten or fifteen minutes.
The two machines in each of the
larger city wards were not enough,
and when women vote it is presumed
that two or three times as many
machines will be required. Presum-
iably, however, voters will eventually
llearn how to operate the machines.
Voters Have Difficulties.
| In all precincts voters had trouble
finding candidates on the tickets, and
foperating the machine
I At Laurel one voter eventually
lgave it up. and asked to be shown
where kendall's name was on the
ticket. He said he wanted to vote for
him but would not try to vote the
frest OF the ticket. -S.-'
At the soldisrs' homo 4, was said
that practically every voter had to
be shown how to operate the machine.
At State Center it was said that many
ibid not vote who came to do so be-
cause they had to wait so long and
Eventually left.
| In contradiction to these troubles
men who had informed themselves
had no difficulty and many voted in
two minutes or thereabouts.
One ward voter asked to be timed
and voted the entire republican tick
let, and the special ballot in sixty
Eseconds. He was not certain of the
candidates for whom he would vote
when he entered the booth.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-The ex-
tremely cold weather in the belt and
fear that the temperatures were low
enough in southernmost counties of
Texas to wipe out any young cotton and
cause rotting of seed in the ground put
the prices of cotton higher today. On

May fell off points but before the call
was over the market was moving firmly
upward. At the end of the first half
hour of business prices were 10 to %

After the first burst of buying there
was lull in the trading and when early
buyers tried to realize profits they
caused a soft spot Offerings of short
cotton increased on the forecast of dry
and warmer weather for the western
half of the belt and late in the morning
May stood at $780, while the active
