EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from the 1910s, three US Representatives, Thaddeus Horatius Caraway, Henderson Madison Jacoway, and Frederick Albert Britten, are seen examining the Bobroff Voting Machine. The machine, being considered for use in the House, stands between them. The sign to the right of the group reads "Bill no. 1472 - Clark, Champ [James Beauchamp Clark], J.G. Cannon, Ben. Johnson, Kitchin, C., J.T. Lloyd, J.R. Mann." The Bobroff Voting Machine, a significant innovation in election technology during the early 20th century, was under consideration for implementation in the House of Representatives. The three representatives, all dressed in formal attire, appear intently focused on the machine, likely discussing its features and potential benefits. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading provider of political and news imagery during the early 20th century. This image, a glass negative from their extensive collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the time and the technological advancements that shaped the electoral process. The photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history, as the country continued to evolve its democratic processes and adapt to new technologies. The three representatives, as lawmakers and political figures, played a crucial role in shaping the nation's future, and this image serves as a testament to their dedication and commitment to the democratic process.
