What Senator Wolcott Says.

Senator E, H. Woloott, of Woloott, who is one of the holdover members of the state senate, where he represents White, Jasper and Newton counties, was at the English hotel in Indianapolis, Tuesday when he was interviewed by a Sentinel reporter to whom he said: — “I will have a few small and unimportant bills to introduce but nothing of any consequence that I know of now. I am heartily in favor of some of the measures that have been suggested and will certainly support them. I believe a law fur voting machines should be passed for one thing. The people are in favor of this reform, 1 believe, as there seems to ben general demand for their introduction.. The principal reason for the popular demand is that they are iired of the delay, The great advantage of the maohines, however, lies in the fact that the mistakes and many of the illegal practices now followed in elections until we have and for that reason provision ought to be made for their use. The only ureat objection is the expence, and I do not believe this will be enongb to prevent the passage of a bill for the purpose. lam also in favor of the proposition to put justices of the peaoe and prosecuting attorneys on salary. I believe this would result in getting better service out of both offioials. A bill for this purpose will be introduced and I hope it will pass.”
