1546 ELECTIONS. [ART. 33

mittee the power to fill vacancies, such committee may, upon the occur-
ring of such vacancies proceed to fill the same; the chairman and secre-
tary of such committee shall thereupon make and file with the proper
officer a certificate setting forth the cause of the vacancy, the name of
the person nominated, the office for which he was nominated, the name
of the person for whom the new nominee is to be substituted, the fact
that the committee was authorized to fill vacancies and such further
information as is required to be given in an original certificate of nomi-
nation. The certificate so made shall be executed and acknowledged
in the manner prescribed for the original certificate of nomination and
shall, except in the case of a nominee dying, be filed at least ten days
before the day of election, and in cases of either resignation or death,
shall be filed within six days after the vacancy shall have occurred, and
upon being so filed shall have the same force and effect as an original
certificate of nomination. When such certificate shall be so filed with
the Secretary of State, he shall, in certifying the nomination to the
Supervisors of Elections, insert .the name of the person who has been
thus nominated to fill a vacancy in place of that of the original nomi-
nee ; and in case he has already set forth his certificate, he shall forth-
with certify to the Supervisors the name and description of the person
so nominated to fill a vacancy, the office for which he is nominated,
the party or political principle he represents, and the name of the per-
son for whom he is substituted. In the case, however, of any nominee
dying within so short a time before the day of election that the certifi-
cate of nomination of the new nominee shall not have been filed with
or certified to the Supervisors of Elections until after ten days before
the day of election, thus being too late for the name of the new nominee
to be printed on the ballots in any county or the City of Baltimore, as
hereinafter provided, the Board of Supervisors of such county or city
shall at once cause to be printed a sufficient number of stickers bearing
the name of such substitute nominee, and shall, deliver the same in due
lime to the judges of election for all of those precincts in said county
or city wherein said nominee may be voted for, and said judges shall
affix such stickers in the proper place on each ticket before it is given
out to the voter. If the resignation or disqualification, or death and
consequent change of nominee shall have occurred and been made after
the first publication provided for in Section 49, and before the second
publication, the Board of Supervisors shall, if possible, make the proper
change in the second publication.
