42. All nominations made by such convention or primary meetings
shall be certified as follows: The certificate of nomination shall be in
writing, shall contain the name of each person nominated, his residence,
his business, his address and the office for which he is nominated, and

the presiding officer and secretary of such convention, who shall add
to their signatures their respective places of residence, their business
and business address and acknowledge the same before an officer duly
authorized to take acknowledgments, who shall append a certificate of
such acknowledgment thereto. If the nomination is by means of a
primary election the certificate shall be signed and acknowledged by the
person or persons whose duty it may be by party usage to declare the
result of such election in the manner prescribed for a nomination by a
convention, but no party emblem or device of any kind shall be added

Under the act of 1890, ch. 538, a candidate who was nominated by a polit-
ical party and also by petition, was entitled to a place on the ticket other
than with the candidates of the party which nominated him. The same rule
would apply if a candidate were nominated by two parties. Fisher v. Dudley,
74 Md. 243. (See sections 55 and 56.) And as to the act of 1890, see Lank-
ford v. Somerset County, 73 Md. 105.
