. Wliai Capo M«t WaWa. lo.veruor Murphy In his recent message

to the legislature said:

Vi the last session of the Uwislatore a l,.,v was passed providing fofche introduc non of voting machines in the State, and » commission was appointed eharged with i he duty of examination and selection of e-.cli'v one machines These machines were distributed under the direction of the Secretary of State to varions polling districi- tbronghout theState.and the result of t heir usejia* elicited the most favorable reports from all ifae districU wherever used, without excepllop. The advantages of the vdUug machine are now generally recognized and their uee is Increasing rapidly. I suggest to the legislature that if it is not thought advisable, because of the expense, to appropriate a sum sufficient to provide every'polling district in the State with a machine, that provision he made for one-half or one-third, so that within two or three years the State may be fully equipped with this desirable method of

rygistering the vote."
