THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD
OU CAN SIGN BUT ONE
PETITIONSTATES LAW
Constitutional Convention Osndldate
Should be lrrrui wnen vny.
tAlnlng Signature.
Thorn ha already been consider
able discussion as to the law povern--lnf
the sljcnlng of the petitions of
Ah various candidates and that the
voter may be put aright The Herald
below furnishes the correct Informa
tion as regards the matters.
First The law atates speclflclally
that there are 100 delegates to be
lected In the slate of Nebraska to
wch constitutional convention, mis
election to be held by representative
districts, and represented by as many
delegates as the district has in the
legislature.
Dox Butte and Sheridan counties
form the 73rd legislative district.
The 73rd legislative district is re
presented by one man, therefore
there will be but one delegate to the
const! ulional convention.
The law further states that If In
any district the number of persons
nominated by petition equals or ex
ceeds three times the number to be
elects, then a non-partisan primary
hall be held on the third Tuesday
after the first Monday in September
(the 16th).
This district Is entitled to one
delegate.' It there are three petitions
circulated it wm " equal or exceeu
three times the number to be elect
ed," and a primary will be necessary.
If only two candidate petitions are
circulated no primary will be neces
sary. - "
Another matter In which Borne of
the papers have befogged their read-
era is with reference to the signing
of petitions.
The law states that candidates
shall file by nominating petitions
signed by not less than 6 per cent of
the Qualified electors. Such petition
recommends the candidate and a vot
er can sign only as many petitions as
there are members to be elected.
km. there is only one member to be
elected In this district, therefore a
person can sign but one petition. The
law Is so stern with this respect that
it atates that If It Is discovered that
person has signed for more than
the limited number of candidates to
be elected (which In this district is
but one) his name shall be scratched
from all of the petitions and su
jiot count In the total, recommending
the candidate.
' In plain words, any voter in Box
Butte or Sheridan county who signs
snore than one petition for constitu
tional delegate forfeits the use of
2tis signature completely, as It is
scratched from all.

There Is no doubt about It, the
