county and legislative district of Baltimore City shall be canvassed and
certified by the respective Boards of Supervisors of Elections in Balti-
more City and in the several counties of the State in such manner as
plainly to indicate which candidate for President in said several and re-
spective counties and legislative districts received the highest number of
votes therein; and the tally sheets and the returns and the certificates
thereof shall be made out accordingly so as to indicate plainly such re-
sults of said election in each of said counties and legislative districts and

vention to the national convention for President in accordance with the
instructions received from the voters in each of the several counties and
legislative districts as certified in their credentials by the respective Super-
visors of Elections of said counties and legislative districts, respectively,

shall continue so to vote in the State convention for the choice of their
several counties and legislative districts as aforesaid, as long as in their
conscientious judgment there is any possibility of said choice obtaining a
majority of the votes of the State convention and as long as said choice is
voted for by the delegates of any nine counties of Maryland in said con-
vention, any legislative district of Baltimore City to be taken and con-
