1034 ELECTIONS. [ART. 33

and not withdrawn in accordance herewith. The names of
candidates for every office shall, except in the case of candi-
dates for presidential electors, be arranged alphabetically
according to their surname under the designation of the office.
Above the group of names of the candidates for each office,
and upon a separate line immediately underneath the designa-
tion of the office there shall be printed in bold plain Roman
capitals, twelve point (pica) type, an appropriate direction or
instruction to the voter, informing him of the number of
persons for whom he may lawfully vote for the particular office
mentioned immediately above each such direction thus, "vote
for one," or "vote for two," or "vote for six," as the case may
be. To the right of the name of each candidate upon the
official ballot and properly separated from said name, and
immediately to the left of the square opposite the name of the
candidate and in line therewith shall be added the designation
of the party or principal which the candidate represents, as is
duly contained in the certificate of nomination or nomination
papers (said designation of the party, however, shall consist

the candidate resides. Ballots shall be so printed as to give

parties or principals which the candidate represents. When
the name of a political party is given in connection with the
name of a candidate nominated as provided in section 42 of
this article, it shall be stated on the ballot to the right of the
name of the candidate; but if there shall have been any nomi-

claiming the same party name, duly certified as hereinbefore
provided, the word "Independent" shall precede the party
name, and if the candidate is nominated under the provisions
of the said section 42, to be printed to the right of the name
of each candidate, except presidential electors. If the same
