person of the same political party as himself to act in
his stead until his return, having first administered to
the substitute the same oath as he himself has taken.

(c) Blank forms for the appointment of the
substitute judges and the oath aforesaid shall be
supplied by the board, and the oath when administered
shall be preserved and returned by the judges to the
board.
(d) The appointment and swearing in of all such
substitutes and the reason therefor, and the time when
such substitute began and ceased to serve shall be noted
by the judges on loose—leaf pages inserted in the binders
containing the precinct cards; such substitute shall
cease to act whenever the judge in whose stead he was
appointed shall be present.
