La Toilette Groupe Faces Varied
Ballot Problems.

Although Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
has been duly nominated for the Presi-
dency. he must receive the signatures of
$4,000 or 10000 persons in the various
States before the names Of his electors
can 90 on the ballots. In some Of the
States he will find II quite easy to have
his ticket placed on the Presidential ballot,
but in others the restrictions on independ-
ent tickets are rather severe.
A study Of all the State laws pertaining
to independent candidates. has been made
by Simon Michelet, Washington attor-
ney. He found that Mr.. La Follette's party
might be placed on the ballots in Tonnes
see on petition Of IS voters who have paid
their poll tax go days before election. in
Wyoming by certificate Of nomination
signed by 100 voters, in Virginia by writ
ten notice Of candidacy attested by two
witnesses who are qualified voters and
who have paid their poll taxes. and in
South Dakota by petition of 200 qualified
voters who did not vote in the primaries.
In Maryland a certificate Of nomination
must be signed by 1000 qualified voters
and the signers must give their residence.
occupation and place Of business.
New York requires petition Of $4,000
names. not less than so in each county.
Idaho requires 5000. Kansas $500 and
nine States provide petitions shall be
signed by 1000 persons. In many of the
States the number Of names required on
the petitions is determined by percent
age OF the number OF voters in some prior
election.
While majority Of the States require
that those who sign petitions must be
qualified voters some Of them 60 step or
two further. Colorado, for instance. pro-
vides that the sieners should not have
voted at the primaries" while Idaho de-
mands that sieners must be non-primary
voters" In Florida the signers can not
have attended the conventions or partici-
pated in primary election of other nomi-
nees. In Michigan the candidate may rep
resent only one party. Missouri makes it
necessary that sieners be bona fide sup
porters Of the nominees.
Another point on which the State laws
are far from uniform is that regarding the
designation Of the third party. Alabama
allows the signers Of the petition to choose
what ever designation they see fit, as do In
diana. Kentucky. Mississippi. New Mexico.
Montana, North Dakota and several other
States. Several States specify .'independ-
ent" as the ticket designation. Maryland
requires the designation in one word.
Minnesota allows not more than three
and Massachusetts allows three to which
President and Vice-President" may be
added. West Virginia and Wisconsin per-
nit the use Of five words Several States
forbid the use Of other party names in any
manner.
In Delaware a committee selects both
the title and emblem. In New York, Okla
homa, Kentucky and Indiana the title and
the emblem or device are selected by the
petitioners. In most States. however, there
is no restriction as to the emblem Of the
independent ticket

months from date of mortgage and the

date of the mortgage.
That by mesne conveyances said prop
erty was conveyed and came into the
hands Of the plaintiff, John F. Wilkins.
That the mortgage referred to is more
than fifty years old, and has never been
released, and the notes secured by said
MORTGAGE have been paid. but cannot be
found, and no demand for payment has
been made on any holders Of the title to
said land for more than forty years.
That the plaintiff is in possession of
said land and said unreleased mortgage
constitutes a cloud on his title.
That it is unknown whether the said
Cyrus G. Sherwood be living or dead, but
if he be living he is nonresident Of the
State of Maryland, and does not reside
therein.
That it is unknown whether the said
