ion and held that the names on the
Lewiston petitions We're invalid he
cause of the letter sent by the city
clerk
The court also held that il peti-
toner signs two or more petitions re-
questing referendum of the same act
and also acts as verifying the petit
ton in each case, only the names on
the petition bearing the earliest date
should be counted, and pointed out
that the person verifying the sigma
lures must he q signer Of the petition.
A person. the court says. has the right
to sign the first petition and then his
right ceases and all other signatures
are utilities and of no more efficacy
than blank spaces.
The supreme court has decided that
signatures by initials instead Of BY full
christian or middle names are suffi cient :
that the certhcation by the town, CITY or
plantation clerk must be signed by hand
and not in typewriting
No Appellate Board
Very vital in its bearing is the opinion
of the court In which it is held that after
the 80 days have expired the governor
upon due notice to the interested parties
anu especially to the verifying petitioner
may held hearing and inquire into and
ascertain whether or not the names on
the petitions are genuine signatures or
forgeries. In this connection the court
says there is no power to pass upon This
question except the governor. There is
no Intermediate board and no appellate
board. He alone passes upon the petit
tons themselves and it must appear TO
him that not less than 1000 electors have
addressed him by petition. No person
may authorize or delegate another to
sign for him.
The court says that IL the governor.
after inspecting the petitions. finds there
IL evidence that the names have been
written in the same hand or by the same
person. he is not bound to count these
names. but, after due notice and hearing
may ascertain the facts and reject the
forgeries On this point the court says:
THE governor alone is clothed with the
power to determine and declare whether
in a given instance it appears that the
required number of bona fide electors
have expressed their Individual wish and
asked for referendum TO the people.

of all times. The peop:e everywhere are
asking, 'Why should we have such war?

war therein foretold. For long time order
loving people, Bible Readers and Christians,
have desired to understand the prophecies
of Revelation and Ezekiel
The Bible Society of Brooklyn New York, have
work recently published which is the first and only book
that makes clear part of Revelation and Ezekiel 1t
takes these prophecies and explains them
It throws light the the real causes,
and what will be the result than does anything yet writ
