I have the honor to submit herewith, in compliance with section 265, chapter 11 of the Revised Laws, a report of the number of assessed polls, the number of registered male and female voters at the date of the last annual State election and city and town elec tions, and the total number of persons, both male and female, who voted at each such election in each city and town, and in every voting precinct of the several Cities and towns, together with the number of votes received by each candidate for a State office at the last annual State election, arranged by cities, towns and districts. In compliance with that portion of the law quoted above which refers to other matters relating to elections and to suggestions thereon, I call the attention of the General Court to the. Subject, of voting machines. In his inaugural message His Excellency. Governor Douglas was pleased to say In several States voting by machinery has stood the test of successful experiment, reducing the liability of error and facilitating the work of totalizing the result. As yet Massachusetts has not interested itself in election machinery, and I would there fore recommend the subject to your consideration.
