10 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [Ch. 2]

nating candidates for Congress and all candidates to be elected
at the presidential elections, other than delegates to national
conventions and presidential electors shall be held on the first
Monday in May. All such political parties, as aforesaid, shall

shall be held on the second Monday of September in any year.
Notices shall be given of the times and places of holding said
primary elections by the several Boards of Supervisors of Elec-

respectively, in the same way precisely as notice is required to
