The person first\nnamed on a ballot containing the names of more than one person for such\nan office, and not designating their respective terms, shall be deemed\ndesignated for the longest term, the second, for the next longest term,\nand so on to the end; and the inspectors of election shall count the\nballots and certify the result accordingly.\n
