AS was expected the latest returns
have increased steadily the list OF mem-
bers upon whom the government can
rely for support.
While the victories OF the Social Dem
ocrats have been regarded with alarm,
their immediate effect upon the fate Of
the army bill will be more than Offset
by tho losses OF the Richter Radicals,
The great majority Of the ministers are
confident that by means OF Conserva-
tive, Free Conservative and National
Liberal cartel they can secure large
number OF seats at the second ballots
from the Richterists and Clericals.
They depend on the general alarm OK
cited by the Social Democratic victories
to drive Clericals and Opposition Cleri-
calls into the government camp in con-
stituencies where the contests are be-
tween Conservatives or National Liber-
al candidates and Socialists. II these
expectations be- realized, not only will
the government open the reichstag with
almost half the members onits side, but
also bo enabled at the final poll to keep
the Social Democrats down to total OF
forty to forty-fve seats.
That the ministerial expectations OF a
general combination against the Social
lists are not entirely underground is
shown by tho action Of the Clerical
leaders. Immediately alter the cleo
ton they sent out circular letter TO
the constituencies to admonish Catholic
voters that under no circumstances
should they vote for the army bill can
didates in tho bye elections. Since then
tho Socialist scare has become so gen.
eral that the leaders have revoked their
first letter and have sent out another
calculated to solidiiy the Catholic vote
against the Social Democratic candi-
dates, even in cases where such course
will lead to the election OF Conserva-
tive or National Liberal. The official
returns from many constituencies have
been received and will be published to.
morrow.
The official returns contain much in
teresting information as to the votes
polled by conspicuous candidates.
Count Herbert Bismark, who was
elected by the Agrarians in tho Jo-
richow district, received 1859 votes
to 6,S4S cast for Ferdinand Woell-
mer, Radical, who was the last member
for the district. Glocke, the Social
Democrat candidate received 4,341
votes. Count Herbert's majority over
all, therefore, vts 4S0. He polled the
full strength OF the Conservative vote
which on the first ballot in 1890 was
1852. The Radical vote in 1890 was
1854 and the Socialists vote 2,4s7.
These figures illustrate clearly how
the Socialists sapped tho strength of
the Richter vote. In Metz, Dr. Haas,
Alsatian and Clerical, was elected by
0,G55 votes to 3436 cast for Libermapn
Won sonnenberg, the antl.Semite, and
S,42S for Wilhelm Liebknecht, leador Of
tho Social Democrats. In Rnguit,
Count Won Kanitz, the high protection
Conservative, received $3.50 votes to
1907 cast for his opponent, Dr. Brae-
sioke, OF tho Radical Union. Rector
Ahlwardt, the notorious Jow batter,
now serving sentence for libel, swept
everything.
