MUCH CONFUSION
OYER REGISTRATION
The Democratic Political Legis-
latiOn Causes Trouble.
IL IL Uncertain Thus Far What the
Courts will Decide Relative to
the New Law.
MANY INQUIRIES ARE MADE

Frankfort, Ky. Sept, 2s.-Many
lueries are coming to state officials here
fegarding the new registration law
which is operative for the first time at
he October registration next week.
There is quite a difference of opinion

registration officials should contain the
names of all of the precinct officers Of

many of the counties the certificates
have been printed with only space for

plate having the certificate signed by
more than one Of the officers. though is
sued in the name of all. as il would be
unnecessary and requires too much time
10 have all four officers attach their sig
nature TO each paper. Attorney General
Hays thinks all should sign the certiii-
ate.
Another matter that is causing some
discussion is the failure Of the law to
provide for the issuing of certificates of
registration, after the regular days of
registration. by the county clerks of
,he counties. Under the old law per
sons absent from the city or III could
make affidavit and register in the Of

not provide for the issuing of registra-
ION certificates by county clerks except
Shere they have once been issued and
have been lost. II j. thought that this
defect can be gotten around by proceed
ing in this matter under the old statute
and having the clerk, upon aihdaNn oi
the person, issue a certificate setting
forth that the voter has so gotten his
name on the poll books.
