EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 79

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 nominations 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 nomi-
nees there shall be printed upon the ballot only the word "Inde-
pendent" and none other. The names of the candidates for
the office of electors of President 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
shall prescribe in the City of Baltimore, and in the several
counties, respectively. If candidates for Presidential Electors
are nominated at large and for the several Congressional dis-
tricts, the name and place of residence of the candidates at
large shall be put at the head of each group, and the names of
the other candidates, with their places of residence, including
the numbers of the Congressional district in which they reside,
shall follow in numerical order. The surname of the candi-
dates of each political party for the office of President and
Vice-President, with the party name at the right of the sur-
name, shall be placed above the group of candidates for electors
of such party. There shall be left at the right of the surname
of the candidate for President and Vice-President, so formed
as to include both names, and to the right of the name of each
elector, a sufficient clear square in which each voter may desig-
nate by a cross (X) his choice for electors. All candidates for
office shall as far as possible be placed in one column, but
when the names to be printed upon the ticket are over thirty-
six, then another column shall be added in which names shall
be printed, and when two or more columns are used the same
number of names shall, as far as possible, be printed in each
column. And the initial letters of the given or Christian
name of the several candidates in each column shall be printed
directly beneath each other in a vertical line, and the initial
