ART. 33] NOMINATIONS. 1031

the new nominee is to be substituted, the fact that the com-
mittee was authorized to fill vacancies, and such further
information as is required to be given in an original certificate
of nomination. The certificate so made shall be executed and
acknowledged in the manner prescribed for the original certi-
ficate of nomination, and shall, except in case of a nominee
dying, be filed at least eight days before the day of election,
and in cases of either resignation or death shall be filed within
six days after the vacancy shall have occurred, and upon being
so filed shall have the same force and effect as an original cer-
tificate of nomination. When such certificate shall be so filed
with the secretary of State, he shall in certifying the nomina-
tion to the supervisors of elections insert the name of the per-
son who has been thus nominated to fill a vacancy in place of
that of the original nominee; and in case he has already sent
forth his certificate he shall forthwith certify to the supervisors
the name and description of the person so nominated to fill a
vacancy, the office for which he is nominated, the party or
political principle he represents, and the name of the person
for whom he is substituted. In the case, however, of any
nominee dying within so short a time before the day of elec-
tion that the certificate of nomination of the new nominee shall
not have been filed with or certified to the supervisors of elec-
tions until after six days before the day of election, thus being
too late for the name of the new nominee to be printed on the
ballots in any county, or the city, of Baltimore, as hereinafter
provided, the board of supervisors of such county or city shall
at once cause to be printed a sufficient number of stickers
bearing the name of such substituted nominee, and shall
deliver the same in due time to the judges of election for all
of those precincts in said county or city wherein said nominee
may be voted for, and said judges shall affix, such stickers in
the proper place on each ticket before it is given out
to the voter. If the resignation or disqualification or death
and consequent change of nominee shall have occurred and
been made after the first publication provided for in section
48 and before the second publication, the board of supervisors
shall, if possible, make the proper change in the second
publication.
