SIGNATURES of Petitions
Up to Attorney General

Secretary Oleott has passed another
of those troublesome questions up to
the states tangle straightener, the
attorney general, He asks; "What
methods may the clerks adopt in arriv-
ing at a belief as to the %genuineness
of signatures to initiative or refer
endum p~etitionsa"
Attorney General Brown replies "be-
lief is of all shades and degrees from
the slightest suspicion to the fullest
assurance"
Concerning the cases where sigma
lures have the full name on the regis
tration books and the signature on the
petitions has the initials only, or con
trariwise, he says: "Initials only
stand for names"
eff the clerk believes from similar
ity of writing, or from any other
lawful Information in his possession
that the person signing the petition is
in fact the same person whose name
appears of record as having registered,
then in such case the clerk should
certify the same as genuine. However
neither presumption is conclusive but
is satisfactory until overcome"
He adds: SIT is well, however, con-
sidering that after the first 200 names
are compared for which the clerk has
two days, that the clerk must com
pare 200 names each day, that the
statutes use the word belief, which
it will be remembered, admits of all
degrees from the slightest suspicion 10
