in section one hundred and thirty-five of this article, and also to each candidate placed in nomination by such certificate. The question raised by such written objection shall be heard and determined as prescribed in section one hundred and twenty-five of this article. [As amended by chap. 649, Laws of 1911.] § 135. Filling vacancies in nominations. If a nomination made otherwise than by an official primary election is duly declined, or the attempt to nominate at a primary results in a tie, ór a candidate regularly nominated otherwise than by an official primary election dies before election day, or is found to be disqualified to hold office for which he is nominated, or if any certificate of nomination is found to be defective but not wholly void, the committee appointed on the face of such certificate of nomination, as provided by sections one hundred and twenty-one and one hundred and twenty-three of this chapter, may make a new nomination to fill the vacancy so created, or may supply such defect, as the case may be, by making and filing with the proper officer a certificate setting forth the cause of the vacancy or the nature of the defect, the name of the new candidate, the title of the office for which he is nominated, the name of the original candidate, the name of the political party or other nominating body which was inscribed on the original certificate, and such further information as is required to be given by an original certificate of nomination; except that where a certificate is filed pursuant to this section to fill a vacancy, it shall not be lawful to select a new name or emblem, but the name and emblem chosen to distinguish the candidate nominated by the original certificate shall be used to distinguish the candidate nominated as provided by this section. [As amended by chap. 891, Laws of 1911, and chap. 820, Laws of 1913.] § 136. Certificates of new nominations. The certificate so made shall be subscribed and acknowledged by a majority of the members of the committee, and the members of the committee subscribing the same shall make oath before the officer or officers before whom they shall severally acknowledge the execution of the said certificate that the matters therein stated are true to the best of their information and belief. Except in case of the death of a candidate after the official ballots have been printed and before election day, the said certificate shall be filed in the office in which the original certificate was filed, at least five days before elec tion, if filed in the office of a town or village clerk; otherwise at least fifteen days before the election; and upon being so filed shall have the same force and effect as an original certificate of nomination. When a new certificate of nomination is filed with the secretary of state, he shall, in certifying the nomination to the various boards and officers, insert the name of the person who has been thus nominated, instead of that of the candidate nominated originally, or, if he has already sent forward his certificate, he shall forthwith certify to such boards and other officers the name of the person newly nominated, and such other facts as are required to be stated in such certificate. [As amended by chap. 891, Laws of 1911, and chap. 820, Laws of 1913.] § 137. Death of candidate after printing of ballots; official pasters. In case of the death of a candidate after the official ballots have been printed, and before election day, the vacancy may be filled by filing the proper certificate of nomination of a candidate to fill such vacancy, with the officer or board with whom the original certificate was filed, or by whom it was issued, and if filed with the secretary of state, the secretary of state shall immediately give the necessary notifications, and it then shall be the duty of the officer or board furnishing the official ballots to prepare and furnish to the inspectors of election in the election districts affected adhesive pasters containing the name of the candidate nominated to fill the vacancy. The pasters shall be of plain white paper, printed in plain black ink and in the same kind of type as that used in printing the names of the candidates upon the official ballots, and shall be of a size as large as and no larger than the space occupied upon the official ballot by the name of the candidate in whose place the candidate named upon the paster has been nominated. If, however, the deceased shall be the candidate of several parties or bodies, and they shall not nominate the same candidate as his successor, a paster shall be prepared which shall contain the entire matter to be contained in the section on which such deceased candidate's name appears, and shall be pasted over the whole section and shall supersede it. Whenever such pasters are provided, the officer or board furnishing them shall certify to the inspectors of election in the election districts affected by the vacancy, the name of the original candidate, the name of the new nominee, the title of the office for which the nomination is made, and the name of the political party or independent body making the nomination, and shall state the number of pasters furnished which number shall be equal to the number of official ballots furnished for such district. Upon the delivery of said pasters, the inspectors of election shall sign a receipt for the same, which receipt shall be retained by the officer or board furnishing the pasters, and shall be part of the record of his or their office. The inspectors shall deliver the pasters to the ballot clerks, who are required to affix one of such pasters in the proper place and in a proper manner upon each official ballot before said ballot shall be delivered to a voter. When so affixed to the official ballot, the pasters shall be part of the official ballot. The ballot clerks shall include in their statement of ballots a statement showing the number of pasters received by them, the number of pasters affixed to official ballots and the number of unused pasters returned by them, the unused pasters to be inclosed in the package of ballots not delivered to voters. The use of any paster upon the official ballot otherwise than as herein provided is hereby declared a felony, punishable by imprisonment in a state prison for not less than one nor more than five years.
