see fit, or may send an uninstructed delegation to the national conven-
tion of such party.

The Board of Supervisors of Elections in each county of the State
and of Baltimore City shall cause to be printed upon the Presidential
primary election ballots in each of said counties and in each legislative
district of Baltimore City, and beneath the name or group of names
of any qualified candidate or candidates for the nomination of Presi-
dent of any of such parties and distinctly separated by appropriate
lines from the name or names of such qualified candidates and in plainly
legible type the words "For an Uninstructed Delegation" and to the
right thereof a square for the cross-mark of the voter in the same man-
ner and relative location as the square for the cross-mark is printed to
the right of the name of any candidate upon the primary election bal-
lots as in this sub-title provided, so that such voters of the party who
wish to vote for an uninstructed delegation to the national convention
of their party may do so; and if it shall appear upon the count and
canvass of the votes cast in said primary election that a greater number
of votes have been cast in such primary election in any county of the
State or legislative district of Baltimore City in favor of an unin-
structed delegation than for any candidate in said primary for the
nomination for President, the Supervisors of Election and Board of
Canvassers for such county or legislative district shall so certify and
the delegation from each county or legislative district in the State
convention of the party shall vote in such State convention for an unin-
structed delegation to the national convention as long as in their con-
scientious judgment it shall appear to them that there is any possibility
of a majority of the members of such State convention voting for an
uninstructed delegation; and if it shall so appear to any such delega-
tion that there is no such possibility, they shall vote in their discretion
for instructions upon the part of the State convention for such person
for the candidate of their party for President as they may deem wisest.
Any vacancy which may exist in the delegation of any of such parties
to any such national convention shall be filled in the manner prescribed
by Section 188 with respect to the filling of vacancies.

The act of 1908, chapter 737, was repealed by the act of 1910, chapter

of the previous law, the operation of the latter continues uninterrupted.
