the time allowed by this sub-title for candidates for public office, dele-
gates to conventions, members of managing bodies, precinct, ward, city
and county executives or executive committees to qualify for the purpose
of having their names placed upon the official primary election ballot in
any legislative district of Baltimore city or in any county of the State,
it shall appear that only one set of candidates of any such political
party have so qualified, then, and in that event, certificates of nomina-
tion or selection shall be issued to the candidates so qualified in a
similar manner to that herein provided for successful candidates at
primary elections, and no such primary election shall be held for such
political party. And provided further, that whenever only one candi-
date of any such political party for such public office or position has
so qualified to have his name so placed upon the official primary elec-
tion ballot at the expiration of the time allowed by this sub-title, then,
and in that event, a certificate of nomination or selection shall in like
manner be issued to him forthwith, and his name, and the name of
the position for which he is a candidate shall be omitted from the said
official ballot, so that such official ballot of such political party shall con-
tain only the names of such candidates for position, offices or delegates
where there are qualified contestants for such positions. Any vacancy
which may exist in respect to any office, delegates to conventions or posi-
tion named in this sub-title occurring after the returns have been can-
vassed and finally announced or which may exist by reason of there
being no candidate for the same in any such primary election or other-
wise, shall be filled as the rules and regulations of the governing bodies
for the respective parties in the counties, city or State may now or shall
hereafter provide.
