HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1505
58. The form and arrangement of the ballots shall be as fol-
lows: All ballots shall contain the name of every candidate
whose nomination for any office specified in the ballot has been
certified to and filed according to the provisions of this Article,
and not withdrawn in accordance therewith, except that the
names of the candidates for the office of Electors of President
and Vice-President of the United States shall not be printed on
the ballot but in lieu thereof the names of the candidates of each
political party for the office of President and Vice-President
shall be printed thereon. The names of candidates for every
office shall be arranged alphabetically according to their sur-
name, under the designations of the office, except that the
names of the candidates of each political party for President
and Vice-President shall be grouped together, with the party
name at the right of the surname, under the designation "Elec-
tors for President and Vice-President", and arranged alpha-
betically in the order of the surnames of the Presidential candi-
dates. Above the group of names of the candidates for each
office and upon a separate line immediately underneath the
designation of the office, there shall be printed in bold, plain
roman capitals twelve-point (pica) type, an appropriate direc-
tion or instruction to the voter informing him of the number of
persons for whom he may lawfully vote for the particular
office mentioned immediately above each such direction, thus:
"Vote for One", "Vote for Two", or "Vote for Six", as the case
may be. To the right of the name of each candidate upon the
official ballot, and properly separated from said name, and
immediately to the left of the square, opposite the name of the
candidate, and in line therewith, shall be added the designation
of the party or principle which the candidate represents, as is
duly contained in the certificate of nomination or nomination
papers (said designation of the party, however, shall consist
solely of the name of the party to be expressed in one word
only, and nothing more); provided, however, that the names
of all candidates for Judge of the Circuit Courts for the
several counties or of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore
City, or for Judge of the Court of Appeals, shall be placed
on the ballots or voting machines without any party
label or other distinguishing mark or location which might
directly or indirectly indicate the party affiliation of any such
candidate. To the name of each candidate for State office or
candidate for Congress shall be added the name of the county
of city in which that candidate resides. Ballots shall be so
printed as to give each voter a clear opportunity to designate
by a cross (X) in a square at the right of the name of each
candidate, and. at the right of each question, his choice of candi-
date and his answer to such question. If the candidate is
