WANTS LAW CONSTRUED
Government Appeals From Ok

Federal Election Statute.

The Supreme Court of the United
yesterday. to determine whether or
not the federal prohibition of discrimi-
nation in congressional elections APP
plies to any act which jeopardizes the
chance of candidate for election. or
whether the law only applies to such
acts as prevent Individual voters from
casting their ballots
Tom MOsley and Dan Hogan consti-
tuting majority of the election board
of Blaine county, Oklahoma. were
charged with having conspired in "a
refusal TO count or return the votes
cast for congressional candidate in
certain precincts OF that county last
November.
Decision of Lower Court.
The federal court of Oklahoma held
that the federal law alleged to have
been violated merely prohibits dis
elimination in regard to the physical
act of casting ballot. and has no APP
plication to such acts were alleged
to have been committed by the two
men named IN the Indictment.
The governments appeal brief, filed
in the Supreme Court yesterday holds
that the lower court erred. and that to
accept such a ruling as the proper in
depreciation of the law would be
to throw down all safeguards that
now surround the election of repre-

the city will increase in the proportion
that the feeding and breeding places
Of the insects are destroyed.

vestigations to determine under what
conditions flies appear to be developing
most favorably in Washington. At

through cooperative endeavor the
adjustment Of the principal fy-breed-
ing centers discovered. The results of
