PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 799

instruction of delegates from said several counties and legisla-
tive districts to the State convention for the selection of dele-
gates to the national convention.

In the event that no person shall file a certificate of candidacy

and make the payment above required as a candidate for the
nomination for President in said primary election of any of
said parties, then the State convention of such party may in-
struct the delegates sent by it to the national convention for

such candidate for President as it may see fit, or may send an
uninstructed delegation to the national convention of such
party.

The Board of Supervisors of Elections in each county of the
State and of Baltimore City shall cause to be printed upon the
Presidential primary election ballots in each of said counties

and in each legislative district of Baltimore City, and beneath
the name or group of names of any qualified candidate or can-
didates for the nomination of President of any of such parties

and distinctly separated by appropriate lines from the name or
names of such qualified candidates and in plainly legible type
the words "For an Uninstructed Delegation" and to the right
thereof a square for the cross-mark of the voter in the same
manner and relative location as the square for the cross-mark
is printed to the right of the name of any candidate upon the

primary election ballots as in this sub-title provided, so that

such voters of the party who wish to vote for an uninstructed
delegation to the national convention of their party may do so;
and if it shall appear upon the count and canvass of the votes
cast in said primary election that a greater number of votes
have been cast in such primary election in any county of the

State or legislative district of Baltimore City in favor of an
uninstructed delegation than for any candidate in said primary
for the nomination for President, the Supervisors of Election
and Board of Canvassers for such county or legislative district
shall so certify and the delegation from each county or legisla-
tive district in the State convention of the party shall vote in
such State convention for an uninstructed delegation to the
national convention as long as in their conscientious judgment
it shall appear to them that there is any possibility of a majority
of the members of such State convention voting for an unin-
structed delegation; and if it shall so appear to any such dele-
gation that there is no such possibility, they shall vote in their
discretion for instructions upon the part of the State convention
for such person for the candidate of their party for President
as they may deem wisest.
