ART. 33] BALLOTS. 877

the group of names of the candidates for each office and upon a sepa-
rate line immediately underneath the designation of the office, there
shall be printed in bold, plain roman capitals, twelve points (pica)
type, an appropriate direction or instruction to the voter, informing
him of the number of persons for whom he may lawfully vote for the
particular office mentioned immediately above each such direction, thus:
"Vote for one," or "vote for two," or "vote for six," as the case may be.
To the right of the name of each candidate upon the official ballot, and
properly separated from said names, and immediately to the left of the
square opposite the name of the candidate, and in line therewith, shall
be added the designation of the party or principal which the candidate
represents, as is duly contained in the certificate of nomination or nomi-
nation papers (said designation of the party, however, shall consist
solely of the name of the party and nothing more). To the name of
each candidate for State office or candidate for congress shall be added
the name of the county or city in which the candidate resides. Ballots
shall be so printed as to give each voter a clear opportunity to designate
by a cross (x) in a square at the right of the name of each candidate,
and at the right of each question, his choice of candidates and his
answer to such question. If the candidate is named for the same office
on two or more certificates of nomination, his name shall be printed
on the ballot but once, and to the right of the name of said candidate
shall be added the names of each of the parties or principals which the
candidate represents. When the name of a political party is given in
connection with the name of a candidate nominated as provided in
section 43 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 convention or primary election claiming the
same party name, duly certified as hereinbefore provided, the word
"Independent" shall precede the party name, and if the candidate is
nominated under the provisions of the said section 43, to be printed to
the right of the nlame of each candidate, except presidential electors. 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
uame, and the word "Independent" shall precede the party name of the
other nominee. The names of 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 districts, 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
