Supervisors Of Elections Take Appeal
in Primary Election Case.

Special Correspondence of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md. September Is. 1896.
The case of Willis b. Burdette, chairman
of the republican county committee for this
county, against the supervisors OF elections
fof Montgomery county in which the cir
cult court at this place nullified the primary
election law passed at the last session OF
the legislature, has been appealed to the
court of appeals by the supervisors of cleo
lions. through their attorney. Thomas NJ.
Talbot of Rockville It was the general
impression that no appeal would be taken.
as such action would put the county to an
expense OF several hundred dollars, and as
there exists no good reason for such move,
as the approaching session of the legisla-
ture could enact a satisfactory law at
practically no cost to the county.
The decision Of the supervisors to appeal
the case has caused much adverse criticism

Dawson and Alexander Kilgour represent
Chairman Burdette.
