TF, THEREFORE,, NOMINATIONS

CAL PARTIES AS DEFINED IN THE
ACT, IT rs MY OPINION THAT THE
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW DOES
NOT APPLY"
In Cairo no nominations are made
for city offices by political parties
such as are defined in the law. and
therefore the law does not apply.
The Attorney General seems to
believe. however, that If the law ap
plies at all in cases like ours, it would
be in so far as it fixes the time when
must be placed in the |
field. He says: Section (of the old |
aw) in my opinion has been modified |
by Section Of the primary act so that
petitions Of candidates for office must
q filed on or before ~ o'clock of the

Urinary election under the provision,
+ the primary act. That is to say
etitions of candidates to have their
ames placed on the official city
cket must be filed on or before 12
clock noon of Friday March >, 1896
However, the Attorney General him.
IF effectually discredits this conclu- ,
on in subsequent passages of his cir
liar reply. For instance he says: "A

dates for aldermen. This difficulty t
