Court 10 Hear Fight
Friday on Removing
Name Of Voter
Montgomery Ruling
May Be Applicable
To Thousands
BY a Staff Correspondent Of The Star

By Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. July ga
suit challenging the right of person
to be registered as qualified voter
in less than a year from his first
! declaration of intention of becom-
ing a citizen of Maryland will be
heard in the Montgomery County
Circuit Court Friday.
The action was filed by John R.
Reeves, president of the Seventh
District Republican Club of Mont
gomery County. and names as de-
| PENDANTS two members of the county
Mrs. Blanche c. Oliver, 4704 Chevy
Chase boulevard, Bethesda, the al
legged registrant.
The petition to the court asks
that Mrs. Oliver be ordered to ap-
pear to show cause why her name
should not be stricken from the
list of qualified voters of Mont
gomery County. The two Permanent
Board of Registry members who
were named defendants are Alfred
D. Moves and Miss Rose K. Dawson.
Montgomery County political
leaders said ruling in the suit
might be applicable 10 thousands of
registrations in the county
Times Declaration as May 10.
Mr. Reeves petition states Mrs.
Oliver appeared before the Board
of Registry on May 10 and declared
her intention of becoming a citizen
of Maryland. On July 2, the Board
of Registry entered the name of
Mrs. Oliver on the register of quail
fled voters, notwithstanding Mrs
divers failure to reside continu-
ously in the State for one year
previous to her first declaration of
intention, the petition charges.
The petition further sets out that
Mr.. Reeves filed a complaint with
the Board of Registry on July 7
and the board summoned Mrs
Oliver on July 10 to show cause why
her name should not be removed
from the list of qualified voters.
The board declined to remove Mrs.
divers name, the petition charges.
Leo Bender has filed the petition
In behalf of Mr.. Reeves and joseph
A. Cantrel, legal counsel to the
Board of Registry will represent the
defense.
Cites Ruling by O'COnor.
When Mr. Noyes was asked about
the suit today he said the board
had refused to remove Mrs. divers
name from the list because of an
opinion from Gov. OiConor when
the chief executive was attorney
general of Maryland several years
ago. The opinion, Mr. Moves said,
declared:
This has been interpreted to
mean that any person who has
made the declaratio one year
or more before the day of any elec-
ton is entitled to be registered as a
voter at such election. even though
he may have made such declaration
less than a year before the day on
which he applies for registration"
There will be no election in the
county this year, Mr.. Noyes pointed
out, and the election of November,
1912, will be more than a year later
than the time Mrs. Oliver declared
her intention of citizenship and was
placed on the list of qualified voters

WithoutCommitments
In Primary Battle,
Price Declares
Three-Cornered Race
For Governorship
Grows Warmer
BY the Associated Press.

BY lDe hSSOCldttu
RICHMOND, July 23.-Gov. Price
said in a radio address last night
that he had made no commitments
in the three -cornered Democratic
gubernatorial primary August and
stressed the need for pushing aside
factional politics for greater service
to the public and national defense.
As the gubernatorial campaign
reached the final two weeks. State
Senator Vivian Page of Norfolk.
that Colgate w. Darden. jr.. one Of
his opponents for the nomination,
was the hand-picked candidate of
the so-called Byrd machine, which
he asserted has often opposed Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the adminiStra-
tion. He said he stood firmly behind
the President in both his domestic
and foreign policies.
Press Should Rouse Voters.
"I believe" Mr.. Page said, IF the
press would arouse the interest of
the people it could do so, not by ac-
cepting it as a fact that the or
ganization controls the electorate of
Virginia and by lulling them into
state of apathy by making them
think there is no chance for indie
pendent candidates to be successful
but by urging all free-thinking vot-
ers of Virginia to go to the polls
and vote for their choice"
Asserting that he favors the aboli-
ton of the poll tax, Mr.. Page
claimed that Mr.. Darden advocated
its retention.
For several weeks, supporters of
opposing candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination have discussed the
question of whom Gov. Price would
support in the primary, question
brought to the fore by an editorial
in the Loudoun Times-Mirror. pub
lished by former Gov. Westmoreland
Davis, listing Mr.. Price as among
those early in the support of Mr..
Darden.
Statement Questioned.
Both the other candidates, Mr..
Page and Senator Hunsdon Cary of
Henrico, questioned the statement at
the time.
I'VE must safeguard by all means
the social gains of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration during the past eight
years." Gov. Price declared in his
talk last night.
He asserted that Gin a very pc
culiar sense, the future of Virginia
depends upon our public schools. and
rural education is perhaps Virginia's S
greatest problem" Teachers, he said,
must be encouraged by more pay
and dependable retirement security.

considerable inconvenience in the
past, since many children living
Just outside corporate limits of the
town had 10 be transported con-
siderable distance to county
schools. when it might have been
more practical for them to attend
Falls Church schools.
The proposed consolidation was
worked out by committee includ-
ing John A. K Donovan. corpora
