Pied &c of Aid
CONTINUED from page one)

mied the Democratic nomination for
Governor from the Buffalo convention
after anti Hearst delegates were thrown
out by the credentials committee.
The first of the Hearst clubs to be
opened, it was said yesterday, will be
in the 1st Assembly District. which is
controlled by Foley, who has declared
that he would resign from Tammany
Hall if Mr.. Hearst was nominated.
In a statement yesterday Mr. Hearst
suggested that the Republicans nomi-
nate for Governor f. II. La Guardia.
former Congressman and President of
the Board of Aldermen.
"I notice that the Republican papers
arc advising the Democratic party
whom to nominate" said Mr. Hearst.
81 think that the Democrats should
take an equal interest in the Repub-
lican party and tell it who to nominate.
Why not nominate for Governor an
honest public official like La Guardia,
for instance?
HAS not La Guardia an unimpcach-
able record in war and in peace? Has
he not always been faithful to the
trust the people reposed in him /?
HAS he not always stood by the
citizenship faithfully against the ex
actions of greedy public service cor
porations?
"Is he not as good an example as
there is in public life of that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people which Lincoln defined as
the fundamental object of the Repub-
lican party 2"

Hirshfeld Hears
Voting Machines
Called Unpopular
Investigator Testifies They
Have Been Discarded in
Other Cities After Trial:
Now Used Only Up State

The investigation into the voting ma
chine controversy conducted by David
Hirshheld, Commissioner of Accounts,
reached out to distant points yester-
day. when William Conant, an investi-
gator, testified as to the results of an
investigation he had made relating to
various cities or municipalities where
voting machines had been installed
The results from the use of the ma
chimes were generally unsatisfactory
according to the witness.
Mr. Conant testified that the princi-
pal cities in which voting machines had
been used were Chicago, Cleveland,
Detroit, Minneapolis, Denver, Salt Lake
City, Omaha, Des Moincs, Los Angeles
and Sacramento, and, in addition, the
machines had been used throughout the
states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and Kansas.
So far as his investigation showed. he
said, with the exception of Minneapo-
lis, all the cities and states purchased
and installed the machines manufac
tured by the Automatic Registering
Machine Corporation, Of jamestown.
~ I. This is the company whose ma
chimes Secretary of State Lyons had
selected for use in this city.
Chicago, the witness said. rejected
all but 200 out of an order for 900
of the machines because thew were
cumbersome and unreliable" New
Jersey, after eight years. experience
with the machines, repealed the law
requiring the use Of voting machines.
ne said. A bill permitting the use Of
voting machines was vetoed by Gov
ernor Tener in Pennsylvania, Conant
testified, on the ground that thew could
be manipulated and used fraudulentlv.
me Legislature of Kansas also re-
Jected the voting machines, the witness
said. and he could not find where anv
Oh the larger cities throughout the
country had retained the use of the
machines or was using them now Thev
were principally used in cities in this
state at the present time, he said,
10 all appearances it would seem"
said Conant, "as if this voting machine
was not popular anywhere in the
United States except in the upper part
OF the State of New York"
Mr. Conant read from a report of
the 1915 Board of Elections, of which
James Kane and Jacob A. Livingston.
of the present board, were members
disapproving the use of voting ma
chimes. The report was based chiefly
on information obtained by the Com.
mlssioners from the authorities in
other cities Of the state where the ma
chimes were used.
Commissioner Hirshfield suggested
that voting machines have not been
changed materially since the time this
report was made, and it was surprising
to see Commissi oner Livingston nav
advocating the use of the same ma
chine which he found to be SO faulty
and impractical several years ago.

Baker. secretary of the State Com.
mittee, take places in the ranks OF
the vanquished. to be Immediately
Joined by a host of smaller caliber
leaders.
Although Pinchot won the Republi-
can nomination for Governor, the
machine won everything ese, with the
exception of four representatives in
Congress and here and there a member
Of either house of the General Assem-
bly,.
The defeat of Alter was the outcome
of revolt against the general leader
ship OF the party. because the election
was lost in the strongholds Of the
leaders. 1t is plain that the state for
got the ticket as a whole and united
in an assault upon the candidate Of the
bosses. With the aid of independent
men and women in Philadelphia and
Allegheny, Pennsylvania. as repre-
sented by siXty-two of her counties
redeemed herself from boss control.
Pinchot's majority is not large, but
as the outcome of fight unequaled in
the history Of the state and as a per-
cal machine in the country, it is monu
mental in it's significance. The unoffl-
cial count is almost complete. Figures
received from 7,649 out Of 1894 in the
state give him 499,s47 votes and Alter
490.191, lead for Pinchot of 9,4o6
votes. On the basis of these returns
the remaining 285 districts, all in
Pinchot localities. should push his lead
we'll over the 10000 mark.
Pinchot received 117,756 votes in
with approximately 1856,
600 qualified electors remaining away
from the polls. In addition approxi-
mately 100000 men and women could
not vote because they failed to register.
The total vote cast here was 340,928.
Four "Old Guard" Congressman lost.
