the nomination for President in said primary election of any
of said parties, then the State convention of such party may
instruct 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.
(10) 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 candidates for the nomination of President of any of such
parties and distinctly separated by appropriate line 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 th6 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 unin-
structed 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
Elections and Board of Canvassers for such county or legis-
lative district shall so certify and the delegation from each
county or legislative 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 con-
scientious judgment it shall appear to them that there is any
possibility of a majority of the members of such State con-
vention voting for an uninstructed delegation; and if it shall
so appear to any such delegation that there is no such possi-
bility, they shall vote in their discretion for instructions upon
the part of the State convention for such person for the candi-
date of their party for President as they may deem wisest.
Any vacancy which may exist in the delegation of any of
such parties to any such national convention shall be filled in
the manner prescribed by Section 241 with respect to the filling
of vacancies.
SEC. 2. And 1}e it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect June 1, 1943.
Approved May 7, 1943.
