HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1493
said several counties and legislative districts to the State
Convention for the selection of delegates to the national con-
vention.
In the event that no person shall file a certificate of can-
didacy 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 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 for 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 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 unin-
structed Relegation 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 pri-
mary for the nomination for President, the Supervisors of Elec-
tions and Board of Canvassers for such county or legislative
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 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 uninstructed delegation; and if it shall so appear to any
such delegation 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.
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 53 with respect to the filling
of vacancies.
