Campers' Outfits While the voting machine Is said to be highly complicated and easily dis arranged, as well as being a fruitful source of fraud In the hands of skill ful manipulators, yet It greatly re duces the cost of elections and an at tempt will be made to Install them Tn Portland after this year. Senator Beach, of Multnomah coun- tv. will make an effort to pass a vot Ins machine bill at the next session of the legislature. The Telegram says of the voting machine agitation: An f fort will be made to have tho next election in Multnomah county handled by voting machines. To this end a measure will be Introduced In the coming legislative session by State tor S. T. B.'ach. since a law is neces sary' to enable the use of the appara tus. While a member of the lower house several years ago Senator Beach ad. vocated the installation of voting ma chines, but at that time his bill called for all counties to adopt them. This time the measure will be drafted dif ferently and It will bo optional with each county whether or not It desires buv'ng mechanical voting boxes. Under the present Rystem Portland will hereafter have two elections each vear the primary, which Is a full fledged election, and the regular elec tion following. There Is a municipal election every two years, with the other with the other elections In be tween, so that until the system is al tered local politics will be one con tinuous round. The primaries and municipal election cost Multnomah county about $13,000 a year. At this rate, says Senator Beach, the county would have Its machines paid for in two years, or less. The price of ma chines varies from J50 to 1500. Among the chief advantages to be gained by the use of voting machines Is the decnase In the election expen ses and the absolute elimination or such heart-breaking ccntests as re cently developed over the fight for the office of sheriff. The lesult In a precinct can be known within one minute after the polls are closed. In Milwaukee last year the entire city returns were re ceived complete and tabulated 40 minutes after the polls closed. On the machine there can be no defective ballots, nor ballots with distinguishing marks. In th- line of expense there are two Important hems which the machine saves. The first is the printing of thousands of official ballots, and the second is the saving in salary of the second election hoard. At present, two complete election board? are required, each consisting o five men. One works during the day and the other at night. With the machines one board will suffice, since the moment the polls are closed it Is only necessary to take off the regis tered totals, thus doing away with the tedious counting of ballots. The saving by the, printing of ballots and the rcond election board would be considerable. Another saving can be effected by reducing the number of precincts, and consequently the number of election boards. The machine can count 1000 votes as rapidly as 300 Australian bal lot? can be passed by hand. This will enable the consolidation of two and throe precincts, where the population Is dense, and the machine with a sin gle election board, will do the work of 30 men, resulting in the saving of t!:e wages of 25 Judges and clerks. Senator Bear-h estimates that about 40 machines can take care of the 90 precincts In Multnomah county. . Voting machines are used In 45 cH.Vs In New York. Buffalo has 203 precincts, which are taken care of by II? machines, which save that city Si 4.000 every year. These machines are considered as an Investment bring ing 15 p"r cent. Schnectady realizes 4'i per cent and Rochester 75 -per cent. The machines also do away with hauling, constructing and repair of the present wooden booths, a con siderable Item of expense In Itself. An absolute secret ballot Is cast by the machine, for the apparatus works only when the curtains are closed, these forming part of the mechanism. The labor, of the election board Is nominal, It being practically confined to one of the Judges pulling a string after each elector has voted.
