Indicted early 1900s debate on city bill and voting machines
Indianapolis rumors swirl around a new codification commission bill governing cities and towns. The measure would schedule elections for November first after the first Monday in 1905 and every four years, prompting concerns among officials about shortened terms. Advocates like Representative E F Branch push for compulsory voting machines, arguing they curb ballot corruption by an estimated seventy percent. Machines showed promise in Vigo and Vanderburgh counties and in Indianapolis precincts last November, though cost remains a worry with a $300 cap. Other proposals target marriage licenses and public notice, while Gus Condo of Grant County backs abolishing the death penalty, arguing life imprisonment is more effective for crime control.
