INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES.
$ NAY HAVE TROUBLE

Attorney Genrlal Cleve Baker
has been called upon for an opinion
which may seriously affect the for
tunes Of the Bull Moose party and
in fact every candidate who runs
independently for a nomination in
the present campaign.
The attorney general has been
asked to decide whether a man who
goes into the election booth on the
day Of the primary will have q
right to afterwards place his name
on a petition nominating a candi-
date for any office for which the
voter has already stated his prefer
ence at the primary election. In
other words. can a man who has
voted at the primary election after
wards sign the petition of a candi-
date for any office?
The claim is made that when a
man votes at the primary election,
Re already state a preference for
the various Offices and that he is
precluded from making a second
choice by placing his name on the
petition of any candidate who
wishes to run independently.
Inasmuch as the members of the
Bull Moose party intend to have
their names placed on the ballot
through petition, they would be
seriously affected if the opinion of
the attorney general was to the
effect that no man who voted at
the primary election could sign the
petition nf a candidate it would
make the securing of signatures of
ten cent Of the registered voters
rather serious problem.
Attorney General Baker stated
today that under the old order of
things before the primary law was
passed that man who figured in
convention which nominated
candidates could not sign the petit
ton of a candidate after participant
ing in such convention. Whether
this same rule would apply to the
voters who cast ballots at the pri :
mary election Mr.. Baker was not
prepared to state at this time, but
said he was looking up the matter
and would render an opinion with
in few days.
independent candidates would
be affected by an adverse opinion
as it makes the difficulty of secur-
ing signatures to their petitions
not only doubly hard but possibly
in some cases impossible = Gazette.

THE reason for this In probably an

nothing but report noise itself. It is
not until this report noise is annulled
that We can hear the bullet flight
