ALABAMA PRIMARY
FOR PRESIDENT HELD
Unconstitutional

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 19.--
Act of the 1923 Alabama legisla-
ture. providing for a presidential
preferential primary election in Ala
bama, is held by Attorney General
Harwell G. Davis to be unconstitu-
tionaI and void, according to ruling
announced late today.
Five candidates, three Democrats
and two Republicans, have already
qualified for participation in the
primary that had been set for March
III. Those Qualifying were: Senator
Oscar w. Underwood Democrat,
Alabama; L. B. Musgrove, Demo-
crat, Jasper, Ala; NJ. A. Rinsmore,
Democrat, Birmingham; Senator Hi
ram Johnson, Republican, Califor-
MIA, and w. J.. Chenault. Repub-
lican, RusseIlville, Ala.
Under the ruling laid down In a.
formal opinion rendered by Attor-
Iney General Davis, at the request Of
Judge Charles e. Mccall, chief ex-
aminer of public accounts, the at
torney general holds that the coun-
ties will not be authorized to incur
the expense of the execution of the
election which is provided for in
the act.
The primary law was admittedly
passed by the legislature last sum-
mer for Senator Underwood, who
was Endorsed at mass meeting
held in the house of representatives
chamber.
Attorney General Davis, In his
opinion, calls attention to the fol-
lowing provisions of the Alabama
constitution that the legislature
shall also make provision by law,
not inconsistent with this article, for
the regulation of the primary cleo
tions, and for furnishing frauds at
the same time. but shall not make
primary elections compulsory. He
pointed out that the preferential!
presidential primary act is compul-
sorry, and is, therefore, in direct con-
flict with the constitutional proyi-
sions quoted.
The opinion, it is pointed out, does
not affect any primary law of the
state except the one designated.

ATLANTA FORECAST
IS CONTINUED COLD
FOR SEVERAL DAYS

A sudden cold wave even more I'M
expected than that which gripped
Atlanta two weeks ago, rushed the
mercury down from 80 degrees at 6
o'clock Sunday evening to II degrees
at Z o'clock Monday morning, a drop
of practically 90 degrees in thirteen
hours, it was announced Monday by
c. f. Won Hermann, head of the
local weather bureau.
Mr.. Won Hermann says it will
continue cold for several days with
an accompaniment of clear skies.
He predicts that temperatures will
not be lower than those recorded
Monday.
Many Atlantians failed to profit by
their experience of two weeks ago
and as a result there were many
frozen pipes in residences and many
cracked automobile radiators Mon
cay morning.
Only slight damage had been re-
ported Monday to the Georgia Rail
way and Power company and to the
city water works Office.
The following table shows the
range of temperature from midnight
