Ransley's Contested Election

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The proceeding instituted in the court below was to contest the nomination of Harry C. Ransley as the Republican candidate for. Congress at a primary election held in the Third Congressional District of Pennsylvania on May 18, 1920. No statute authorizes such a contest in the court below, and it was, therefore, without jurisdiction to entertain appellants’ petition.

The order quashing it for want of jurisdiction is affirmed at their costs.
