PARTY TO APPEAL CASE Socialist-I-abor Charge Candidates Were Ruled Off WitTtout Notice. Decision of Superior Judge James M. Leathers in ruling six minor parties off the State ballot will be appealed to the Supreme Court, according to George Burkhart, attorney for the Socialist-Labor party, one of the parties affected. Point to be settled is whether a judge can rule candidates off a ticket without notice to the latter in time to defend the action. Election board was defendant in the case.
