The present rules provide that NOM

has been the source OF numerous COM

Is prescribed By the rules for this
purpose, It occasionally has happened
that nominations made in good faith
BY qualified persons have. subsequent
to the nomination meetings. been ruled
out of order for more OF less technical
reasons. It is. not thought wise to now
prescribe a form FOR this purpose, as
1t would soon be lost sight of or for
gotten by many, with the consequence
that many nominations would suisse
quently be made that might be ruled
out on technical grounds.
