258 ELECTIONS. [ART. XXXIII
the light of the name of each candidate upon the official ballot, and
properly separated from said name, and immediately to the left of the
square, opposite the name of the candidate, and in line therewith, shall
be added the designation of the party or principle which the candidate
represents, as is duly contained in the certificate of nomination or
nomination papers (said designation of the party, however, shall consist
solely of the name of the party to be expressed in one word only and
nothing more). To the name of each candidate for State office or can-
didate for Congress, shall be added the name of the county or city in
which the candidate resides. Ballots shall be so printed as to give each
voter a clear opportunity to designate by a cross (X) in a square at the
right of the name of each candidate, and at the right of each question,
his choice of candidate and his answer to such question. Immediately
following each group of candidates to be voted for, there shall be a blank
space or spaces, with a square or squares to the right, in which any
voter may write the name of any person for whom he may desire to
vote other than those already printed on the ballot, as provided for in
Section 54 of this Article. If the candidate is named for the same
office on two or more certificates of nomination, his name shall be printed
on the ballot but once, and to the right of the name of said candidate
shall be added the name of one of the parties which such candidate
represents, as appearing in said certificate of nomination, and the Board
of Supervisors of Election shall cause to be printed to the right of the
name of such candidate whatever one of said party names, so appearing
in said certificate of nomination, the said candidate shall, in writing,
designate to said Board of Supervisors as the party name which he
desires to be added to the right of his name on the ballot; provided,
however, that such party name shall consist of one word only. When
the name of a political party is given in connection with the name of a
candidate nominated as provided in Section 42 of this Article, it shall
be stated on the ballot to the right of the name of the candidate; but
if there shall have been any nomination for the same office by a conven-
tion or primary election claiming the same party name, duly certificated
as hereinbefore provided, there shall be then printed to the right of the
name of the candidate so nominated in accordance with Section 42,
except Presidential Electors, only the word "Independent" and none
other. If the same party name shall be claimed on behalf of nomina-
tions made by more than one convention or primary election and duly
certified as aforesaid, the officers by whom the ballot is to be prepared,
or a majority of them, shall determine which nominees are justly
entitled to the party name, and to the right of the other nominees there
shall be printed upon the ballot only the word "Independent" and none
other. The names of the candidates for the office of electors of Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United States shall be arranged in
groups, as presented in the several certificates of nomination papers,
and the several groups shall be arranged in such order of the surnames
of the candidates for President as the several Boards of Supervisors
