If any candidate shall receive a. majority of all the votes cast and
counted for his office in any county or legislative district for first, choice
he shall be considered the "First Choice Candidate" of such county or
legislative district and entitled to the vote of the delegates from such
county or legislative district on the first and subsequent ballots in the
State Convention as hereinafter provided.

And in such case the "Second Choice Candidate" of said county shall
be determined by the Supervisors of Elections, as follows:

The ballots cast for said "First Choice Candidate" polling a major-
ity of all the votes of said county as aforesaid shall be distributed
among the remaining candidates according to the way the voters mark-
ing the same have indicated their "Second Choice." That is, by adding
to said first choice votes of each of said remaining candidates the second
choice votes of those voting for the candidate polling a majority over
all for first choice.

And if in such case none of said remaining candidates has then
received a majority of all the votes cast and counted for said office in
said county or legislative district, then the lowest of said first choice
candidates shall be dropped from the canvass and the votes cast for him
for "First Choice" shall be distributed among the candidates still
remaining according to the way the voters marking said dropped can-
didate for "First Choice" have indicated their "Second Choice."

This process of dropping the lowest candidate and distributing his
ballots as marked for second choice among the remaining candidates
shall be continued by the supervisors at the canvass until one of them
shall be credited with a majority of all the votes cast counted for said
