Opinion:
Per Curiam,
The five Judges who heard these appeals all agree that they must be dismissed. We have held in a number of cases that: "While the granting or refusal of a preliminary injunction is the subject of appeal, yet in such case we refrain from a discussion of the merits of the litigation and merely determine whether, under the facts presented in the court below, there was a reasonable ground for its action": Holden v. Llewellyn et al., 262 Pa. 400, at pp. 402 and 403.
The questions involved come from the Election Code of June 3,1937, P. L. 1333, and we find that the court below had "reasonable ground for its action."
Appeals dismissed.
