said applicant shall be entered forthwith by said officers of registration in
the presence of said applicant as a qualified voter by recording his name
in the same manner in which it was first recorded in the proper column of
each of the proper duplicate registries of voters under the head of "quali-
fied voter." If the applicant is found to be disqualified as a voter in the
ward in which he shall apply to be registered, a line shall be heavily
drawn in ink opposite to his name under the head of "qualified voters," and
the cause of his disqualifications, shall be briefly stated opposite to his
name as first recorded under the head of "disqualified," and a line shall
be drawn across his name as first entered, but in such manner that said
name shall remain legible. If the said officers of registration shall be in
doubt after the primary examination of said applicant and of such other
evidence given upon oath or affirmation as may be immediately accessible,
or because of lack of sufficient proof whether said applicant is a qualified
voter they may adjourn their determination of the said matter to any
subsequent day of their sittings, on which appointed day the said officers
of registration shall proceed to determine the matter in question and to
enter the applicant in each of the proper duplicate registries of voters as a
qualified voter, or as disqualified; but is expressly hereby declared and
set forth that nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing
any of said officers of registration to ask any question of or concerning any
applicant for registration as a qualified voter touching any cause of dis-
qualification not expressly enumerated in the Constitution of the State of
Maryland.
