LAWMAKERS MAY : :,
VOTE BY machine
Automatic apparatus Demon
strated to Georgia Legislature
Newspaper Man

ATLANTA, July 18.-The Guor-
gia Legislature, like the lawmaking
body of Virginia, will be enabled
to record votes and roll calls almost
instantly, instead of the usual de-
laws incident to this procedure, III
the event it installs an automatic
apparatus which is now being
demonstrated at the State Capitol,
The latest device, which is how
being introduced by Alex Willingha
former Georgia newspaper man,
now Of Washington, D. c., is the
Thompson Parliamentary Voting
System, d patented machine which
has been designed to eliminate the
human factor in the preparation Of
the official record. The. member
registers his vote by pressing a
button at his desk and an automatic
device located at the Clerks desk
perforates a printed card showing
how the member has voted. The
votes are tabulatcd, counted and
totals printed ON the record card.
Absent and paired members are
automatically counted and recorded.
The underlying feature of tho
system, as pointed out by Mr. VII
| bingham, is collective voting rhe
very fact that all members may vote
simultaneously enables the assembly
to conserve the vast amount of valu.
able time now consumed in conseeu-
tive roll call, Mr.. Willingham says,
and at the same time allows the IN
| diyidual member more time to regis-
ter his vote than under present
practice. Members do rot have to
be constantly on the alert to avoid
missing their names or answering,
out of turn, to some similarly sound
ing name, which frequently occurs,
/ it is pointed out.
Visual indicators.
Another feature of the system is
the indicator boards. These boards
consist of two large ornamental
panels, usually placed on either SIDE
of the Speakers rostrum. The name
of all members appear in alpha
.oetical order on each board in let
-ers large enough to be plainly read
from any part Of the chamber.
When a member presses the voting
button at his seat colored light
appears opposite his name showing
now he has voted.
Should any member desire to cas-.
his vote and leave the floor before
Che completion of the permanent
record, he may do so by pressing
the button he wishes to vote and
