At elections of directors there must be present, either in person or by
representative authorized to act by written proxy, the owners of the majority
of the paid up capital stock entitled to vote, or, if there be no capital stock,
then a majority of the members entitled to vote. The elections must be by
ballot and every stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote in
person or by proxy the number of shares of stock standing at the time fixed
in the bylaws in his own name on the stock books of the corporation, and
said stockholder may vote such number of shares for as many persons as
there are directors or he may cumulate said shares and give one candidate as
many votes as the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the
number of his shares, shall equal, or he may distribute them in the same
principle among as many candidates as he shall see fit: Provided, that the
whole number of votes cast by him shall not exceed the number of shares
owned by him as shown by the books of the corporation multiplied by the
whole number of directors to be elected. Members of corporations which
have no capital stock may case as many votes for one director as there are
directors to be elected. Any meeting of the stockholders or members called
for an election may adjourn from day to day or from time to time if for any
reason no election is had or if there are not present or represented by proxy
at the meeting the owners of the majority of the paid up capital stock
entitled to vote or if there by no capital stock, a majority of the members
entitled to vote.
