BOOTLEGGER LAW
IS SAFE AS IS
TERMINAL ELEVATOR
Required Number of Names Must
Be Secured in Majority of
the Counties.
NO MORE, NO LESS, IS
LATEST INTERPRETATION
Many Names Will Not Be Counted
Because They Came in
Too Late.

Not single, solitary law passed by
the Fourteenth assembly will be re-
ferred to the people Of the state at
the next general election for approval
or rejection, Not the terminal eleva-
tor law, not even the bootlegger law.
This is almost certainty now, in
view Of the most recent Interpretation
of the initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution Of the
state.
That part OF the amendment dealing
with the referendum power OF the peo-
pie specifically states that the peti-
tions to refer a law, must be signed
iby ten per cent of the legal voters OF
the state from a majority of the coun-
ties"
Twenty-seven Counties. ,
It is rumored that the attorney gen.
eral will hold that the proper inter-
probation of this clause is as follows:
That the petitions must be signed by
ten per cent of the legal voters OF
the state, as determined by the vote
last cast for secretary Of state, which
means at least 8,22S signers. That
these S,22S signatures must be secured
in q Ga ma ajority) Of the counties
of the state, but If the S,22S sigma
lures represent voters in more than
a majority Of the counties then the
petitions are invalid just as they
would be in case the signers repre-
sented but ten counties. 3
ThisSfnterpretation OF the law virtu-
ally raises the required number Of sig
natures to referendum petitions to
about 20 per cent Of the legal voters
Of theeWhole state. ~ N.Y. PIC III
1t is almost an assured fact that
none Of the petitions can hold up un.
der this ruling. & 29i5a@ 1"+# =.

The secretary of state received on
Friday enough additional petitions to
make the total number of signers to
the petition to refer the immigration
bill exceed the number S,228. But
none Of the petitions resolved on Fri
day had been filed by the secretary OF
state in the light Of the opinion rem
dered him by the attorney generals
Office. This says that all petitions to
be counted must have been filed with
him on the Bird day of June or before
that date and that petitions mailed or
expressed to him on that day and
reaching his Office on the 4th day Of
June or thereafter, even though they
were ptstniarked or receipted for on
the 3rd,' cannot be counted. "T A'u a.
A total Of AL signatures to peti-
tions to refer the immigration &C are
thus thrown out. Four hundred and
two signatures attached to petitions
to refer the terminal elevator bill
were received on the 4th, but will not
be counted" Still more petitions were
received yesterday. 8 r'N

People Won
Through Care
Says Hanna

Governor Hanna, when asked
to- say something with reference
to the attempt to refer many Of
the laws passed by the Fourteenth
legislative aesembIy to the people
Of the state by means Of the ref
erendum petitions which were so
widely circulated, and the out
come Of the matter, gave out the
following brief statement:
''lt has generally been thought
s by the people, and ! have had the
same opinion myself, that men
were apt to sign petitions bIindIy
and without giving the merits or
demerits of the petitions present
ed to them for signature due con-
sideration. But the result Of the
petitions spread broadcast
throughout the state for the pur-
pose Of referending certain laws
passed during the past winter has
demonstrsted that people are care
full. much more so than they have
been given credit for, in the sign
ing Of petitions. It also proves
that the great majority Of the
people Of the state believe that
tho actions Of the legislature this
past winter, in the passing Of the
laws which they did, were for and
in the interests Of the people,"
