SECOND CHOICE
Steward of caIcasieu to Introduce
Bill Re-establishing Majority
Primary in State

The newfangled preferential pri-
mary with the second choice feature,
adopted by the state legislature last
year. has not met with the approval
of a majority of people, if one lis
tens to talk heard from time to time.
Much dissatisfaction has arisen be-
cause of the adjustment of the ma
iority primary method, as it opens
the door to a candidate being nomi-
mated without having received clear
majority of votes. The evil of the
system is such that candidate can
get friends to enter the lists, thus
dividing the vote of the opposition,
and enabling him to win in hot con-
test. It hasn't pleased people at all.
and Senator Stewart of Calcasieu has
introduced a bill in the upper house
of the legislature abolishing the pres
ent law and re-estabIishing the old
majority law, thus forcing a turnover
between the two highest men when
the low men were eliminated in the
first. or plurality, primary. The sena-
tor is working hard to get favorable
action on the measure and hopes to
get it through on final passage.
