Tii machine is one of two such voting
machines Which Will be tiled this year try
the Hoard if Rlectiona The machines
lie been successfully used for seven
teen years In other counties of the State
If the experiment succeeds here voting
machines will be Installer in othe:- dls
tr cts at future elections until at some
Utopian date such apparatuses may en
tirely supplant Ihe human machine as
a ballot milker
It will be the rlrst use of a voting ma
chine In New Vork county, The demon
stration 01 the type of machine t.- be
used in the booth at Seventy-third street
and Riverelde irive on November 1
brought out this information :
The voter enters in front of the ma
chine, which is six fet high and on
Standards, by raising an entrance ueir
whioh dashes a signal from the buck of
the machine tliat it is "OOCUpisd.'' Th
voter finds himself in front of a key-i
board, which is the ballot and which ha :
tin- names of the office for which 0Sjs
dldatSS are to be el, sled and tile names
of th- candidates running across ami
d"W n the face of tile board, KaclConn- ,
dldate for each office hail his name I
printed over a little black button. The i
voter turns tin' button to the right, an!
"x" appear above the i.uttnti and ihe
volet has voted for a candidate! He j
turns the buttons under the name of
other .audi lates as he waul to vote.
The voter canot vote for more than I
one candidate for one office because
turning a button In one column automatic-!
ally locks the others in ,thnt column ; j
but If the voter has found be has made I
a mistake, he can turn a button back !
lo the left and then go on and change j
his vote. Thus a voter may change his'
mind as often as be pleases before he
leavea the board There is also a slide
provided for ihe appearance of a Mllp of
paper for independent candidate not
listed
After the voter has finished voting
and has spill as many tickets as he
wanted to, lie raises an exit bar and.
passes out of the booth. The raising og))
this liar sends bis vote into the adding i
mechanism of the machine, where it'
joins lis mile to the totals, rings a
bell to show that the voter lias finished,
flashes a "'vacant" signal from the back
of the ma ChlltS and OloerS the ballot

When the last vote has been cast (he

that toe publication of the Hryan letter
marks the opening of a (fftlttpftlgtl of

It is by iu means certain that the1

vision voted down so that they might
have a chance to change th" Constitu

who think they will write the Const .tu

Mr. Hoot expressed his belief that
the revision would be gCCSpted. in clos

to work for its adoption.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Oeoi ge
W Wb kersbam and ' Job R Hedges
eutoglgad Mi. Root and p.eented further
arguments for the new C -restitution.
Ir Hutler reviewed Mr Hoot's public
career, saying that there have been few
men In public life who have given a
more striking example of public service.
The new Constitution, he Midi represents
the most forward sdvsncg in the State
OongtltlltlOn In two generations. Me pre
dicted that other States would hasten
to copy it.
Mr Wick-rsham said that it was flue

"I entirely agree with your under

There Is no doubt or room for qUOOtton
that education Is a matter of State con
