An. Code, sec. 189. 1910, ch. 741, sec. 160L (p. 126). 1912, ch. 2, sec. 160L.

204. The provisions, all and singular, from sections 9Y to 125 of this
article, both inclusive, and the offenses defined and the penalties and pun-
ishments prescribed therefor in said sections, respectively, shall be fully
applicable in all respects to the same persons, matters and omissions in
connection with or pertaining to the primary elections of any primary
election held under this article, sub-title "Primary Elections"; and said
sections are hereby made applicable to all primary elections provided for
and held hereunder; except the penalty upon the vote seller, etc., so as not
to conflict with section 216, which places the penalty on the vote buyer
alone, and any judge, clerk or other officer of any primary election, or any
voter or other person, except the vote seller as aforesaid, who would be
deemed guilty of any offense against the General Election Law, or under
provision or provisions thereof, in a general election, who is found guilty
of the same offense in any primary election, as herein provided for, shall
be deemed guilty of the same crime of which his offense is made to con-
sist by and under the General Election Law, and particularly under any
of the above-mentioned sections, respectively, thereof, and shall be liable
to the same punishment or penalty as is prescribed for such sections
thereof; provided, that sections 205 to 215, of this article with respect to
offenses, penalties and punishments under the Primary Election Law shall
have full force and effect in all cases to which the same are applicable.

Where a repealing law contains a substantial re-enactment of previous law, the
operation of the latter continues uninterrupted. There is nothing in this section as
re-enacted by act of 1912, ch. 2, which imposes any additional penalty or affects
rights of any person under sec. 206, or under this section, of which traverser can
complain. Cochran v. State, 119 Md. 543.

205. Each of said judges appointed under this sub-title shall have
power to cause the arrest of any one violating any of the provisions hereof,
and in the absence of any person authorized by law to make arrests said
judge may designate some person for that purpose, and each of the judges
shall be conservators of the peace in their respective primary election
polls, at which they may act as such judges, and may, in the manner herein
provided, cause the arrest of any person disturbing the peace, and cause
the party so arrested to be committed for the action of the grand jury or a
justice of the peace, as the case may be.
