425 voting machines IN various cleo
tion districts in this city this year, or
about Is per cent of the total number
required to equip the whole city. Forty
per cent is required to be installed in

similar bill passed the Legislature a

tract was held up by a court injunction
obtained by the labor interests again t
the Standard Voting Machine Com
pany, of jamestown, the only bidders
at that time, on the ground that the
company had violated the labor laws

sented at the hearing before the Board

companies, offered in the bids, was con-
siderably under the Standard company
bid. The other companies were the J,

ing Machine Company. of Knox, Ind,
and the Progressive Voting Machine
Company. Of Dayton, Ohio. The prices
offered on these machines were. re-
spectivcly, s725 to $3.50, $3.50 to $3.50

The Cummings company offered to
install one hundred machines as an eX-
pertinent in competition with any Of
the other machines, suggesting that
each Of the four companies install one
hundred machines. or a sufficient num-
Der to make up the number required.
An advantage claimed by the Cummings
company was that its machine operates
so that the voter is able to see that his
vote is properly recorded by the ma
