1228 ARTICLE 33.

Elections may publish in one newspaper the notice above required, and in
the City of Baltimore, by advertisement in all the daily newspapers which
will publish the same at their current rate of advertising. And the Sheriff
of Baltimore City and of each county shall no longer publish such notices
of election. Said Board shall make all necessary rules and regulations not
inconsistent with this Article, with reference to the registration of voters
and the conduct of elections, and they shall have charge of and make pro-
vision for all elections, general, special, local, municipal, State and county,
and for all others of every description, to be held in such city or county, or
any part thereof, at any time; all questions shall be decided by a majority
of the Board, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Article; pro-
vided, however, that in any incorporated city or town in this State (other
than the City of Baltimore) in which the municipal or charter elections
thereof are now regulated by the Public Local Laws of the State, the con-
duct of such municipal or charter elections shall continue to be so regu-
lated as heretofore and such Public Local Laws shall continue in force
therein. The provision hereinabove contained in reference to handbills
shall not apply to Baltimore City.

Act of 1896, ch. 202, did not repeal local act of 1894, ch. 533, relative to elections
in Annapolis. Judges of election must be controlled, however, in the execution of
their duties and in conduct of elections by former act, and they are subject to the
penalties provided thereby. Jones v. Monroe, 86 Md. 334.

16. Each judge of election in the City of Baltimore and each of the
two judges of election appointed before the first day of July in counties, as
provided in Section 8, shall also be an officer of registration in the district
or precinct for which he shall be appointed, and the judges so appointed
when duly qualified shall for their respective districts or precincts, collec-
tively, constitute the board of registry thereof. Said officers of registration,
and each of them, in addition to the power hereinafter conferred upon them
as judges of election shall have, during the respective times of the ap-
pointed sittings of said board of registry, authority to keep the peace and
to preserve order and enforce obedience to their lawful commands at and
around their places of registration; to keep the access to such place open
and unobstructed, to prevent and suppress riots, tumult, violence and dis-
order, any violation of this article, and all other improper practices at and
around their place of registration tending to intimidation or to the obstruc-
tion of their work; they may compel by summons or attachment the pres-
ence of witnesses before them for any purpose connected with the duties of
their office, and may commit for trial any person committing at or around
their place of registration any breach of the peace or other offense forbidden
by this article; they shall have the power to issue any of said summonses,
attachments or commitments when sitting in any county in this State to
the sheriff of said county or to any constable thereof and when sitting in the
City of Baltimore to marshal of police or to any police officer of said city;
all such processes shall be served by said respective officers in the same
