THE SECOND PRIMARY
The Date Fixed by the Central Com
mittee Is Legal.

New Orleans Picayune November
Is: Judge Walter Guion, Attorney
General, i'll reply to Chairman AL
bert Estopinal of the Democratic
State Central Committee, rendered
his opinion yesterday, that the ac-
hon Of the committee in changing
The second primary election from
Mardi Gras day to February 27 was
legal and properly authorized.
Judge Guion says: Answering
these questions in the order in
which they have been asked, | beg
10 advise you as follows:
First-That the Democratic State
Central Committee is without au-
thority to change the date of the
first primary election ordered to be
held on the 23rd of January 1912.
Second-That the Democratic
State Central Committee is given the
power by law to change The date of
the second primary election without
changing the date of the first pfi-
mary election.
"Thlrd-That, as, in my opinion,
there IS legal authority for chang
ing the date Of the second primary
election without changing the date
of the first primary election. even
without the consent of the candi-
dates. there will be no legal obstacle
in the way to prevent the names Of
the candidates nominated at such
second primary election from being
placed on the official ballot for the
general state election, and, in my
opinion, all such candidates thus
nominated would have an absolute
and undoubted right TO have their
names placed on such official bal
lot"

Judge Hall and other speakers in
behalf of the reform movement
have just finished a close and re-
markably successful campaign Of
the southern part Of the State He
has made from one to four speeches
every day for the last three months.
The greater part of the time was
spent III what is known as the Gre
ole part of the State, although he
went into the Florida parishes and
in fact in nearly every parish south
of Red river. The crowds as repre-
sented by the press were large and
seem to take more than usual inter
est in the campaign and the discuss
ion Of the questions.
Not in many day has there been
so much work done to enlighten the
people as TO the wants and needs Of
IA different mode of government, a
government in which the people
should have more rights.
New Orleans, the great citadel and
home Of the boss rule system, is be-
ing. organized by those who are op-
posed TO the methods which have
existed there for many years. The
signs indicate that the people of the
great city are ready and anxious for
"a change. Three times in the last
twenty years the reform movement
has won in New Orleans, and now a
fourth time is foreshadowed.
