252 A.D. 275

Simpson v. Cohen

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1937-10-27

Relies on Matter of Independent Nominations

Decided 1937-10-27

Per Curiam.

¶1It was held in Matter of Independent Nominations (186 N. Y. 266) that single petitions might nominate candidates running in different political units. In our opinion the amendment to section 137 of the Election Law (Laws of 1935, chap. 955) effects no change in this rule. The requirement included in the law by that amendment, that petitions be consecutively numbered, seems to have been sufficiently complied with here.

¶2Assuming that the requirement for consecutive numbering is mandatory, in the greater number of Assembly districts there was consecutive numbering of all petitions within that unit. These signatures aggregated many thousands beyond the required numbers.

¶3The orders should be affirmed.

¶4Present — Townley, Dore, Cohn and Callahan, JJ.

¶5In Trades Union Party ” proceeding: Order unanimously affirmed.

¶6In “ Anti-Communist Party ” proceeding: Order unanimously affirmed.
