only was cast for the presidential veto
Of the resolution limiting the size of
the army to '175,00O men when it was
called up for action in the senate this
afternoon during the discussion OF the
spndry civil bill. Senator Joseph F;
Kirby, democrat OF Arkansas, voted
against overriding the veto, while six
ty-seven members of the body cast
their votes in opposition to the sec
rotary OF war and the president.
The house had previously overriden
the veto by vote of 271 to 10.
The action OF the senate means the
war department must stop immediate
ly all recruiting. Secretary Baker has
been attempting to get the army up
to strength of $4,000 authorized I'M
der the army reorganization act and
has refused heretofore to make the
size of the army conform to the ap-
preparation of congress. The present
strength of the army is more than

IOWA SOLONS VOTE BY

RED MEANS AYE, BLUE NAY
AND WHITE THAT HE is
PRESENT BUT NOT VOTING.

DIES MONIES, Iowa-R epresen-
tatives in the Iowa legislature vote
their opinions on roll call now with
their fingers. No longer does the clerk
call the roll and the member vote with
his lungs.
One result of the change is saving
of fifteen minutes to half an hour i'll
taking a roll call vote.
When a question is put to a vote
every representative may vote at the
same time. 1t is difficult for any one
to wait and see what some one else
will do and let his vote follow.
Since the session two years ago an
electrical voting device has been in
stalled in the house, and already has
been used. On each members desk
is a little device to which he carries
a key. No two keys are alike. There
are three small lights to show him
how he is voting. When the question
is put the legislator inserts the key
and then manipulates the device. What
he does is not only recorded Tor his
own benefit by the light on his desk
but shows on board above the speak
er's head.
The members all are named on the
board. Opposite each name are three
lights and slot. II his vote is aye
red light shows, and 'Y" appears
in the slot. A blue light shows and the
letter IN" for negative vote. Io

voting a white light is used.
Within twenty seconds after the
voting is completed photograph OF
the complete record on the board, ia
ken automatically, is delivered to the
desk. In the meantime, however, the
total has been flashed on the speak
ers and clerks desks, SO the result
can be announced Immediately. The
photograph is the states record.
The machine is controlled by the
clerk, who unlocks it and sets it when
the vote is called for AS soon as com
pleted he again locks the machine.
