ties. No member of the General Assembly of 1939, other-
wise qualified, shall be ineligible for appointment or elec-
tion as such associate judge by reason of his membership
in the General Assembly. The judge so appointed shall be
subject to the same constitutional provisions, receive the
same compensation and have the same powers as are here-
in provided for the other associate judges in the seventh
circuit, and the judge so elected and his successors shall
subject to the same constitutional provisions, hold office
for the same term of years, receive the same compensation,
and have the same powers as are herein provided for the
other associate judges in the seventh circuit. No two of
the associate judges for the seventh circuit shall at the
time of their election or appointment or during the term
for which they may have been elected or appointed reside
in the same county, except in Prince George's County, in
which county two of said associate judges for the said
circuit shall reside at the time of their appointment or
election and during the term for which they may have been
appointed or elected unless the chief judge of said circuit
shall already reside in said county, in which event only
one of said associate judges shall reside in Prince George's
County and Prince George's County shall at all times have
two resident Judges and no more, such Judges to be either
the Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit and one associate
Judge or two associate Judges of said Circuit. In case any
candidate or candidates for associate judge at any judicial
election held in the seventh judicial circuit shall receive suf-
ficient votes to cause such candidate or candidates to be
elected, but the election of such candidate 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 elction would provide the
permitted number of associate judges from said county and
the candidate or candidates, as the case may be, residing in
some 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 seventh judicial circuit, then it shall be the duty
of the Governor to order a new election for such unfilled
office or offices.
