some fit person of the same political party with himself to act
in his stead until his return, having first administered to such
substitute the same oath as he himself has taken. Blank forms
for the appointment of the substitute judges and clerks and
the oath aforesaid shall be, supplied by the supervisors, and
the oath, when administered, shall be preserved and returned
by the judges to the supervisors. The appointment and swear-
ing in of all such substitutes and the reason therefor, and the

stitute shall cease to act whenever the judge or clerk in whose
stead he was appointed shall be present.
