Salus et al., Appellants, v. Lawrence, Secretary of Commonwealth et al.
    Argued December 28, 1938.
    Before Kephart, C. J., Schaffer, Linn, Stern and Barnes, JJ.
    
      
      Marshall H. Morgan, with him Earl V. Compton, for appellants.
    
      Lemuel B. Schofield and J ames Todaro, Deputy Attorney General, with them Cuy K. Bard, Attorney General, and J. Dress Pannell, for appellees.
    December 31, 1938:
   Per Curiam,

The five Judges who heard this appeal all agree that it must be dismissed. We have held in a number of cases that: “While the granting or refusal of a preliminary injunction is the subject of appeal, yet in such case we refrain from a discussion of the merits of the litigation and merely determine whether, under the facts presented in the court below, there was a reasonable ground for its action”: Holden v. Llewellyn et al., 262 Pa. 400, at pp. 402 and 403.

The questions involved come from the Election Code of June 3, 1937, P. L. 1333, and we find that the court below had “reasonable ground for its action.”

Appeal dismissed.
