Ex-Deputy Sheriff
To Fight Rejection Of
His Ballot Petition

Guy E. Curtis, a former dep
uty sheriff for Prince Georges
County. announced last night
that the county election board
has rejected his petition to be-
come an independent candidate
for sheriff.
He said he will fight for a
court reversal of what he called
a "pressurized" election board
ruling. II
MIR. Curtis said the election
board notified him, yesterday
that his name will not be on
November ballots because 255 Of
the more than 600 persons who
signed his petition are not regis
tered voters.

declared, Aarid will ask the court
| to order my name on the ballot
or, failing in that. I will con-
test the election in SO far as
the sheriffss Office is concerned. ;"
Roland II. Ryon, clerk to- the
county board OF election supervi-
sors. said his board rejected Mr..
Curtis application Friday on adj
vice Of its counsel, George T.
Burroughs. 4
There was no pressure from
any source" Mr.. Ryon declared.
1.-THE board ruled Mr.. Curtis out
because of the ineligible names
and because all sheets Of the
petition did not have affidavitS
as the law demands"
He explained that Mr.. Curtis
fled seven jackets, each with
several petition sheets but with
only one affidavit on the jacket.
Mr.. Ryon said he had not been
informed that Mr.. Curtis offered
more names than his Office &C.
cepted and said it was his under
standing that Mr.. Curtis re-
marked when filing that he felt
certain his signatories were
qualified.
"Has Good Argument"
1--WE did not check the petit
tons Immediately" Mr.. Ryon
said, because of the volume of
post primary work and our
confidence in Mr.. Curtis. When
we did start we were surprised
at the number of ineligibles. If
we had expected that, an extra
force would have been employed
to check the petition sooner.
"It is unfortunate that Mr..
Curtis was, notified so late" Mr.,
fRyon added. ''and ] think he
has a good argument"
Mr.. Curtis said he has spent
more than $1,000 in five months
of campaigning and now has on
hand large quantities Of election
literature.
Mr.. Curtis has been an arch
foe of the present Republican
sheriff, Carlton G. Beall. Mr..
