Show The election law is quite explicit regarding the jH requirements of people who attach their names to H a petition, asking that the ticket of a newly-formed M party be placed on the official baliot. How will ' jH Mr. S. P. Armstrong, the notary public, whose seal 4H is attached to the certificate, explain why the fol-. H lowing provisions of the state law, were not em- , .jH bodied in the certificate appended to the petition? 1 ffl "Each voter signing a certificate shall add to fH his signature his place of residence and shall, be- j!H fore an officer duly authorized to take acknowl- ' M edgements, acknowledge his signature and take ' jH oath that he is a voter within, and for the political ' H division for which such nomination is made, and H has truiy stated his residence. Said certificate, ! M when executed and acknowledge d as above pre- I scribed, may be filed as provided for in section !H eight hundred and twenty-four, in the same man- H nor and with the same effect as a certificate of SH nomination made by a convention or committee."
