An. Code, 1924, sec. 23. 1912, sec. 20. 1904, sec. 20. 1896, ch. 202, sec. 19. 1914, ch. 726.

24. On the Tuesdays, respectively, six and four weeks preceding such
regular election, and on the Wednesday next following said Tuesdays,
respectively, said Board of Registry shall again meet at the place desig-
nated, and shall remain in session during the hours prescribed in Section
19, for the purpose of registering all qualified voters not before registered
who shall apply in person to be registered, and also for the purpose of
noting the names of any persons on such registry whom they suspect not
to be qualified voters. The same forms shall be observed as to the appli-
cations made on these days as were required on the former days of registra-
tion. If any voter of the ward or county shall go before the Board of Reg-
istry during such sessions and make oath that he believes any specified
person upon such registry is not a qualified voter, such fact shall be noted.
At the end of the registration for each of these days the registers shall be
examined, compared and made to agree, and they shall then be signed im-
mediately, under the last name registered, under each letter, in the same
way as hereinbefore provided.

How a person may be put on the "suspect" list. A list not under oath handed by
a party worker to an officer of registration who himself has no knowledge or belief
as to the disqualification of the parties named, is not such a list of "suspects" as board
is authorized to act upon. Carter v. Applegarth, 102 Md. 339; Wilson v. Carter, 103
Md. 128.

Cited but not construed in Bangs v. Fey, 159 Md. 549.

25. Before separating on the last day said board of registry shall
make out and deliver to two of their number of opposite politics a list of
the registered address of all those who have been registered as qualified
voter, whom either one of the officers of registration suspects not to be quali-
fied voters, or against whom any voter of the ward or county may have
made complaint, as above provided. If said board of registry shall, how-
ever, know that any person so complained of is a qualified voter, then such
name need not be put upon the list of suspected persons, unless required
by a member of the board. The officers of registration to whom such list
has been delivered shall, on or before Friday next following, sign a notice,
and send the same through the mail, duly stamped, to the address as given
in the registry of each person who is upon the suspected list, requiring
such person to appear before the board of registry upon the Tuesday fol-
lowing, giving the time of such session and show cause why his name
should not be erased from such registers; proper blanks and postage stamps
shall be furnished for this purpose by the board of supervisors. A similar
notice shall also be served by said officers upon such person before the fol-
lowing Tuesday and if he can not be found at the place designated upon
said registers, the notice may be left there, if such place can be found.
Any officer of registration, or other person acting temporarily as such, as
hereinafter provided, who wilfully neglects to perform his duty touching
such scrutiny, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be imprisoned in jail not less than six months nor more than twelve
months. In case of temporary disability on the part of said officers, the
board of registry may appoint a temporary clerk belonging to the same
party, and administer to him the usual oath of office, and said temporary
clerk shall perform all the duties of the office until the disability of the
other officer is removed. And it shall also be the duty of each of the other
