ASSAULT CASE TAKES
COURTS TIME TODAY

For alleged malfeasance in office.
the grand jury of Anne Arundel coun-
~, now in session. has returned
presentment against the Board of
Supervisors of Elections OF the
county. ~ d
The action is based upon alleged
appointment of Democrats to serve as
Republican election officials at the
general election TO be held on Tues
day next. Complaints along this line
were made several days ago by W.
Hallam Claude. chairman of the Re-
publican Central Committee for the
county.
The specific instances cited wherein
such appointments were made are II.
out of total of 80. The position of
the Election Supervisors in the
premises is that they were compelled
to name Democrats in some instances
in order To complete the lists. owing
to the fact that the number OF Re-
publican white voters in some sec
lions is insufficient from which to
make selections Also it develops
that like action was taken on former
occasions, especially the election of
last fall, and furthermore. some Re-
publicans have expressed opinion that
that election was one of the most sat
isfactory ever conducted in the
county.
The Election Supervisors against
whom the presentment has been re-
turned are James f. Strange. presi-
dent and James S. Smith, Demo-
crats). and William H. Meade. (Re-
publican). The latter, it is said, as
sented to the recommendations for ap-
pointmen;s. despite the fact that the

cipitated by member Of his party
