THE VOTING MACHINE
A SUCCESS IN MILWAUKEE
Records the Votes With Great Rapid-ity and Accuracy.
The voting machines proved a per-fect success in the election Tuesday,says the Milwaukee Sentinel. Sevenmachines were used, one in each of thesix precincts of the Thirteenth ward,and one in the Sixtli precinct of theSixth ward, and all gave such com-plete satisfaction to voters and elec-Jon officials alike that interest in themexceeded the interest in the election.Rapidity and accuracy wore the chiefcharacteristics noted by the electionofficials, and the ease with which thevoting proceeded during the day led allwho witnessed the machines work toexpress themselves in terms of thehighest praise.
The first returns were received fourminutes alter 7 o'clock from the Fifthprecinct of the Thirteenth ward —Rose.218; J.a Follette, 211. The return wasthe quickest ever made to the centralstation by any precinct in the city inany election ever held in the historyof the state.
In some of the booths votes wer«registered in from nine seconds to halfa minute, and in but few instanceswere voters within the curtain of themachine longer than a full minute.Although it was expected that somevoters would demand the paper ballot,none objected to the machines, the ina-
nity appearing to be greatly pleasedtheir operation. The city pos-
sesses fifteen of the machines, buteight were not used, as there was notsufficient time to instruct the votersin their use.
From the general appreciation of thevoting machines it is evident that theiruse will be extended to all parts ofthe city as soon as possible, and prob-ably 100 will be in use in the nextelection. It was feared by the elec-tion officials that some of the ma-chines might make a mistake or getout of order, or in some manner failto work, but the unfailing regularitywith which the casting of the votewent along in all of the precincts rap-idly established the machine in theconfidence of all voters, and within anhour after the booths opened yester-day morning all worry and anxietyover the operation of the machines dis-appeared. and the inspectors andclerks settled down to enjoy the easywork of checking off the voters, allow-ing the machine to perform the heavylabor of the day.
"It is impossible for a voter to votewrong,” said Inspector Tronip. "It istrue that he may accidentally vote forthe wrong man, but this is not liableto happen half so quickly as if he weremarking one of the big blanket ballots.A man cannot cast a defective ballotwith the machine.”
One of the features of the machinethat appealed the strongest to the elec-tion officials was that the vote was al-ready cast up and totaled for them the
moment the last vote was cast, and thehour for closing the polls arrived. Inmost instances it took less than twominutes to open the back of the ma-
fne and count up the total votes forthe candidates, and instead of be-
ing kept until 2 or 3 o'clock in themorning to count up split tickets, theofficials were able to close the boothsand get down town before the first re-turns had been received from anyother precinct in the city or state.
No trouble was experienced in theregistering of the votes of women whoappeared to cast a ballot on the statesuperintendent of schools and the con-stitutional amendment, as a device onthe outside of the machine preventedtheir voting on any other office orquestion.

THE TEST OF TIME.Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, profes-
sional nurse, of 257 Cumberlandstreet, Portland, Maine, says:
"I heartily wish those who sufTcrfrom some disturbed action of the kid-neys would try Doan's Ivldney Pills.They would, like me, bo more thansurprised. My back annoyed me foryears. Physicians who diagnosed mycase said it arose from my kidueys.When the grip was epidemic I wasworn out with constant nursing, andwhen I contracted it myself it left moin a very serious condition. I couldnot straighten nor do the most trivialact without being in torture. The kid-neys were too active or the secretionswere too copious, and I knew whatwas wrong, but how to right it was amystery. It seems odd for a profes-sional nurse, who lias had u great dealof experience with medicines, to readadvertisements about Doan's KidneyPills in tho newspapers, and it mayappear more singular for me to go toH. H. Hay & Son’s drug store for abox. But 1 did, however; and hadunybody told me before that it waspossible to get relief us quickly as Idid I would have been loth to believeit. You can send anyone who wishesmore minute particulars about mycase to me, and I will be only too gladto tell them personally. As long asI live I will be a firm advocate ofDoan's Kidney Pills.”
Cure Confirmed—s Years Later."Lapse of time- has strengthened my
good opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills,first expressed in the spring of 189C. Isaid then that *had anybody told methat it was possible to get relief asquickly as I did I would have been lothto believe it. Years have passed andmy continued freedom from kidneycomplaint lias strengthened my opin-ion of Doan’s Kidney Pills and givenme a much higher appreciation oftheir merits.”
