The clerk of the house of representatives shall prepare a roll of members elected, for use in its organization, and shall place upon it only the names of those who present certificates of election issued in conformity to law; and if certificates are presented for more representatives than any town or ward is entitled to, the clerk shall not enter any name on said roll from such town or ward until the house, after organization, so orders.
