Secretary of State Olcott passed hhn one today which is a fair sample of tho daily tangle. The raw requires that the county clerks shall compare the signatures of names sign ed to initiative petitions with We reg istration books, cards, and blanks on file in his office, and shall attach to the sheets of said petition containing such signatures his certificate to the secretary of state, giving the form in which this shall be (tone. This sounds simple enough, but it has its dips, spurs and angles as an old miner would say. For instance: what will a poor clerk do when the petition contains the name of J. Smith when on the reg istration books Hhe oaly mame like that is John Smith. Shall the county clerk jump at the conclusion that and John are the same person! Again a married Woman may be registered under her own name but may sign petition with the initials of her hus band as 'Mrs. John or J. Smith for in stance.
