Batavia, Nov. 26 - It is probable
that the supervisors, before the end of the session, will take some definite
action of approval of the Myers voting machine. In committee of the whole
yesterday it was decided to recommend to the board that a committee be

support and influence to any movement towards the adoption of the Myers
machine for use at all elections. The great expense of the present election
law is the chief reason for desiring the change.

laws, election notices and official canvas.
