NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1912 | _ City Engineer George E. Pitcher, who " has been a consistent opponent of thy machines ever since they were od of here, and has declared In the ng of a number of city officials he would never vote on one, was reinforced in his opinion on Friday by an investigation of the state. constit ' tion and consultation with several la yers on the point that he could not be pelled to use the machine in votin state officers and for members of general assembly, Mr. Pitchers ition s that the registrars are com- jed by the state constitution to have ‘ballots on hand and to allow the elec- . tors to vote by ballot if they so de- * mand.. v “Registrar Tyler D. Guy said thaf had heard of the claim that Mr. tcher was making on the voting ma- “question, but that he did not be- e it would do the city engineer any to demand a ballot. The regis- were_going to have ballots on said Mr. Guy, but they would be only in the emergency of the shine breaking down. lilinois Decision. _ | A deélsion as follows from tiie 1lli- " nols supreme court was shown by Mr., i as having a bearing on the '+ contentidn he makes: " Springfield, 11, Oet. 22.—The Ili- 3 supreme court ordered today a | of mandamus g compel the ele commissioners of Chicago t0 fus to all the election precincts in the of Chicago ballot boxes and vot- ths for the election on Nov, 5, all other things required by the Jaw. . Voting machings can be used in such _precinets as the election commission- ets ‘may select for their installation, e ity Ehznm George E. Pitcher Claims. It as Constitutional : . Right in' Voting For State Officers—Cannot Be Com- ‘pelled to Use Voting Machine, He Says—Registrars Dis- . 5 but each voter must have the option of voting by the use of the ballots or the machine, without suggestion or advice of the judges of election. The court holds that, owing to the number of candidates and propositions to be voted on, the voters cannot cast their ballots understandingly by means of the voting machine within the one minute of time allowed by law. Connecticut Constitution. Mr. Pitcher's contention based on the Connecticut state constitution is’ that according to an amendment adopted in November, 1836, it is provided that in all elections of officers of the state, or members of ‘the general assembly, the votes of the electors shall be by ballot, either written or printed. These last two words, wriften or printed, are what he claims shut out the voting miachine. This article = was _subsequently amended in October, 1905, he pointed out, as follows: Voting machines, or other mechanical devices for voting, may be used in all clections in this state, under such regulations as may be prescribed by law; provided, how- ever, that the right of secret ballot shall be preserved. ’ According to the way this amended article is noted on the previous amend- ment to which it refers, Mr. Pitcher's claim is that the constitutional re- quirement for a written or printed bai- lot has not been dene away with and that he can demand to be furnished a ballot, 1f a written or printed ballot is not forthcoming upon his demand on elec- tion day, he is prepared to use force if necessary, he said on Friday, to pitch the voting machine out of the polling place.

He id that nelther the republican nor ' atic parties was to, blame for | the high cost of living, but the funda. mental cause of the high cost of liv- was the shrinkage value of the dollar from 1905 to 1910. More gold ‘wae produced in that time and at less cost than there was in_existence be- fore 1850. With less labor in the dol- the dollar was worth less, as labor is the true standard of value _in all proceeds. As less labor was required in the production of gold and less would be required in the future s gold producing machinery was be- ing perfected, the cost of living must 0 still higher. For proof of this he polutéq out that the cost of living had £one up in all civilised countries un- der &ll kinds of tariff or no tariff, 80 that there must be a general fun: tal cause. The watering of stocks In all industries Is also a con- tributory cause of the high cost of liv- ing, as one must pay dividends on wa- tered dock, which come out of the products and the consumers must pa e only remedy that will bring dow the high cost of living is for the state to bring the unemployed people of the cities into contact with the unemploy- ed land. The state should operate large farms on the latest. scientific -princi- ples and sell the product direct to the people. Upon being asked how he thought ; soclalism would be brought about, Mr. LaMonte sald’ that he expe radical movement to grow an, - ally become more radical, forcing the state to extend its powers and grad- vally absorb one industry after an- other until what manufactories were | left would beg the state t over.
