ONLY SOLUTION TO ELECTION PROBLEM

1t is gratifying to see Sucn an ln1luentlal JourIdl 10 Vic
Newark Sunday Call coming out in favor of the voting ma
chine in the interest of honest elections. Commenting on
Assemblyman Arthur Persons annual tinkering with the
election laws, the Sunday Call says: !
sIn q rare moment of intelligence the legislature some
years ago adopted the voting machine and a Few years later,
again reverting to form, junked the machines in response to
a manifestation of manufactured sentiment for which GER
lain interests that had no love. for honest elections were
mainly responsible. Reinstatement of the voting machines
would give us safer, cheaper and simpler elections
There is no doubt that 4he legislature is making an
awful mess of the election laws by Juggling them about
every year so that election officers with an average OF IN
ielligence that is none too high at best, can hardly be blamed
for becoping confused in their method of handling the bal
lots.
With The voting machine in use there is no handling OF
ballots. Any person with Intelligence enough to look over
The big sheet of paper on which the ballot is printed, pick out
the names he wants to vote for and put an TX" in front OF
those names is also intelligent enough to look over the face
Of a machine, pick out the names he desires to vote for and
move an arrow so that it will point to those names. That is
al there is to the voting machine and once the machine is
set and the lever pressed nothing can change it, the vote
being tailed automatically just as a cash register records the
sales made and gives the total OF business done at the end Of
each day promptly and accurately and no one thinks of ques-
tioning the result.
With all the incompetency and glaring errors that are
brought to light with every recount of ballots, not to men
lion the evidence of fraud that is sometimes exposed, the
wonder is that the average voter who would not think oil
doing business without a cash register or adding machine in
order to assure accuracy in his business will continue year
after year to allow his ballot, which is his means of pardci-
pating in his government, to be handled in its present an
tiduated and incompetent manner.

THE GOVERNORS SECOND REBUFF

The turning down of James r, Nugent as prosecutor OF

Now comes the effort to force upon the laW-aplohS
