On October 5, in the state of Paraná, General Plinio Tourinho advised Vargas that it would be safe for him to establish his headquarters in what was now the frontlines of the revolution. In the Southeast of the country, the new state President of Minas Gerais, Olegario Maciel, delievered a revolutionary proclamation to all of the state's local administrators, with the state police arresting and rounding up Federal officers. The well–supplied 12th infantry regiment, however, defended themselves in the state capital until October 8.
