NORTH BEACH, Md, October g.
Democrats in this precinct OF Calvert
County whose names were removed
from the list OF qualified voters In the
November State and county election be-
cause of their failure to appear yester-
day in answer to challenges. viii be
given an opportunity at the third and
final registration next Tuesday to re-
quest reinstatement.
Out of a list Of l73 Democrats
against whom the Republicans filed
challenges, the names of 43 were or
dered removed from the books by cleo
ton judges as a result of yesterdays
revision. Only one name was stricken
out because the voter in question failed
TO establish legal residence In the pre-
cir1ct. The other az names on the "sus-
pect" list were removed when the per-
sons named failed to put in an appear
ance at the hearing of cases conducted
by the election judges, John w. E.
Bangs for the Republicans and Merrell
=. Ward for the Democrats.
80 to BE Eliminated.
Democratic leaders here admit that
the names of about 80 of these absen-
tees ultimately will be eliminated be-
cause of deaths and removal of resi-
Gence from the county.
The challenged list was composed
mainly Of new voters and others who
had registered on the two previous
registration days, September and Sep
TENDER 80. In addition to the one per-
son whose name was dropped for just
cause, the election judges earlier In
the day had questioned the right OF
two others to take part In the forth
coming election. Upon rehearing, how
ever, the names of these two were left
on the list.
Some of the suspected" Democrats
are part-time residents of Washington
who own property in North Beach and
spend occasional week ends here and
two or three months in the Summer
The right of such North Beach resi-
dents to vote may yet be made the sub
ject Of q test case in court by Re-
pubiicans who are trying to reduce the
number of newly-registered voters in
the county, majority Of whom appear
60 be Democrats.
