The additional judge for the sixth circuit herein pro-
provided for and elected by the qualified voters of Fred-
erick and Montgomery Counties at the 1938 election in
accordance with the terms of the Constitutional Amend-
ment heretofore submitted and adopted shall be subject
to the same constitutional provisions, receive the same
compensation and have the same powers as 'are herein
provided for the other associate judges in the sixth circuit
and his successors shall be appointed and/or elected in
accordance with the constitutional provisions relating to
judges. The Chief Judge may be elected from either
Frederick or Montgomery Counties, but when the Chief
Judge is elected from Frederick County one of the asso-
ciate judges shall be a resident of said county and the two
remaining associate judges shall be residents of Mont-
gomery County and when the Chief Judge is elected from
Montgomery County one of the associate judges shall be
a resident of said Montgomery County and the remaining
two associate judges residents of Frederick County. In
case any candidate or candidates for associate judge at any
judicial election held in the sixth judicial circuit shall
receive sufficient votes to cause such candidate or candi-
dates to be declared elected, but the election of such can-
didate or candidates would cause more associate judges
than herein permitted to reside in any county of said
circuit, then and in that event only that candidate or those
candidates, as the case may be, residing in said county in
the order of the votes received shall be declared elected
whose election would provide the permitted number of
associate judges from said county and the candidate or
candidates, as the case may be, residing in the other
county, and not similarly disqualified, who shall have the
next highest number of votes in said election shall be
declared elected. If, by reason of such a condition or by
reason of an equal vote for two or more candidates a suffi-
cient number of associate judges duly qualified as to resi-
dence as above set out should not be elected at any election
in said sixth judicial circuit, then it shall be the duty of the
Governor to order a new election for such unfilled office
or offices.
The additional associate judge for the seventh circuit
herein provided for shall be appointed by the Governor
immediately after the adoption of this amendment and
shall serve until the first general election for members of
the General Assembly that shall be held in said circuit sub-
sequent to the adoption of this amendment, at which elec-
tion his successor shall be elected by the qualified voters
of Prince George's, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's Coun-
