any candidate from being the treasurer or political agent of another
political committee or candidate, but no candidate for public office or
nomination therefor may designate himself as his own political agent
or act as the political agent or treasurer of a political committee or
any other candidate. No person shall be appointed or act as treasurer
or political agent in any election or primary election who is not a
citizen, resident and registered voter of the State of Maryland. A
political committee or candidate may appoint a separate sub-treasurer
for any county or political sub-division, which sub-treasurer shall
deposit funds, disburse and account for the same in the same manner
as herein provided with respect to treasurers.

214.  Political Committee must appoint Treasurer. Every political
committee shall appoint and constantly maintain a treasurer to
receive, keep and disburse all sums of money, or other valuable
things, which may be collected, received or disbursed by such com-
mittee or by any of its members for any purposes for which such
committee exists or acts, and unless such treasurer is first so ap-
pointed and maintained, it shall be unlawful and a violation of this
Article for a political committee, or any of its members, to collect or
receive or disburse money, or other valuable things, for such purposes.

215.  Bond Required of Certain Treasurers. The treasurer appointed
by the State Central Committee of any party, and the treasurer ap-
pointed in any county or in the City of Baltimore by the members of
the state central committee for such county or city of any party, and
the treasurer appointed by the city committee of any party in the
City of Baltimore, before proceeding to act shall give bond to the
State of Maryland in such penalty as the committee by whom he
shall be appointed shall prescribe, conditioned for the faithful per-
formance by him of the duties of his office, without loss or detriment
to any person interested in the performance of such duties, under
which bond an action may be maintained in the name of the State
of Maryland for the use of any person interested in the faithful
performance of his said duties, and injured by a breach of the con-
dition of said bond. The premium required to be paid for such bond
may be paid by him out of the funds that shall come into his hands as
such treasurer and shall be allowed to him as a credit in the settle-
ment of his accounts.

216.   Appointment and Reports of Sub-Treasurer. The treasurer

appointed by the State Central Committee of any party, or the
treasurer appointed in any county or City of Baltimore by the mem-
bers of the state central committee for such county or city of any
party, or the treasurer appointed by the city committee of Baltimore
City of any party, may appoint one sub-treasurer for each voting
precinct in the said county or city, as the case may be, which sub-
treasurer is authorized to expend such money as may be placed in his
hands by the treasurer appointing him for such purposes as are
lawful under the provisions of this Article and for no other purpose,
and it shall be the duty of every such sub-treasurer to make a report
in writing under oath to the treasurer appointing him, stating in
detail the amount of money placed in his hands by the said treasurer
and for what purposes the said money was expended by him and to
whom paid; and it shall be the duty of every such treasurer to file
the report of every sub-treasurer appointed by him along with and
as a part of the account and statement required to be filed by such
treasurer under the provisions of this Article.
