396 MARYLAND MANUAL

Secretary of State shall prepare and submit a ballot title of
each such measure in such form as to present the purpose of said
measure concisely and intelligently. The ballot title may be
distinct from the legislative title, but in any case the legislative
title shall be sufficient. Upon each of the ballots, following the
ballot title or text, as the case may be, of each such measure,
there shall be printed the words "For the Referred Law" and
"Against the Referred Law," as the case may be. The votes
cast for and against any such referred law shall be returned to
the Governor in the manner prescribed with respect to pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution under Article XIV of
this Constitution, and the Governor shall proclaim the result of
the election, and, if it shall appear that the majority of the votes
cast on any such measure were cast in favor thereof, the
Governor shall, by his proclamation, declare the same having
received a majority of the votes to have been adopted by the
people of Maryland as a part of the laws of the State, to take
effect thirty days after such election, and in like manner and
with like effect the Governor shall proclaim the result of the
local election as to any Public Local Law which shall have been
submitted to the voters of any county or of the City of Baltimore.

SEC. 6. No law or Constitution Amendment, licensing,
regulating, prohibiting, or submitting to local option, the manu-
facture or sale of malt or spirituous liquors, shall be referred or
repealed under any Act of the provisions of this Article.
