812 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 371

ance with the terms of the Constitutional Amendment
heretofore submitted and adopted shall be subject to the
same constitutional provisions, receive the same compen-
sation and have the same powers as are herein provided
for the other associate judges in the sixth circuit and his
successor shall be appointed and/or elected in accordance
with the constitutional provisions relating to judges. The
Chief Judge may be elected from either Frederick or Mont-
gomery Counties, but when the Chief Judge is elected from
Frederick County one of the associate judges shall be a
resident of said county and the two remaining associate
judges shall be residents of Montgomery County and when
the Chief Judge is elected from Montgomery County one
of the associate judges shall be a resident of said Mont-
gomery County and the remaining two associate judges
residents of Frederick County. In case any candidate or
candidates for associate judge at any judicial election held
in the third and sixth judicial circuits shall receive suffi-
cient votes to cause such candidate or candidates to be
declared elected, but the election of such candidate or can-
didates would cause more associate judges than herein
permitted to reside in any county of said circuits, 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 election
would provide the permitted number of associate judges
from said county and the candidate or candidates as the
case may be, residing in the other county, and not similarly
disqualified, who shall have the next highest number of
votes in said election shall be declared elected. If, by rea-
son of such a condition or by reason of an equal vote for
two or more candidates a sufficient number of associate
judges duly qualified as to residence as above set out should
not be elected at any election in said third and sixth judi-
cial circuits, then it shall be the duty of the Governor to
order a new election for such unfilled office or offices.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the aforegoing
section hereby proposed as an amendment to the Consti-
tution, of this State shall be, at the next general election
to be held in this State in the year 1940, submitted to the
legal and qualified voters thereof for their adoption or
rejection in pursuance of directions contained in Article
14 of the Constitution of this State, and at the said general
election, the vote on the said proposed amendment shall be
by ballot, and upon each ballot there shall be printed the
words "For the Constitutional Amendment" and "Against
the Constitutional Amendment" as now prescribed by law,
