cd to bring out a heavy vote more es'
peclally in the rural distrlcIs. In Bcr-
lin tho streets wore an every day APP
pearance, and there was utter absence
OF any excitement.
In fact the Weather classes appeared
to be apathelic as to the outcome OF
the elections. The authorities thought
disorders might arise among voters be-
longing TO the lower classes, and the
troops were kept in their barracks, SO
as to repross any outbreak that might
occur. Very few voters went to tho
polls before noon. At that hour when
the workmen left The factories and 9th
er places where they we're employed,
walked in groups to the voting stations
aud deposited their ballots.
There are B2S stations in the city, 900
of them being IN taverns and restaur'
ants, while tho remaining 1928 are in the
school buildings and veslry halls.
The socialists displayed more activity
than any OF the other political groups.
Women seemed to be as deeply inter-
osted In the success OF the Social Demo.
cratic candidates as were the men Of
the party, and they have labored in
overy way to aid the candidates.

and DR.. Won Boetticher. secretary Of
the imperial home Office, both voted at
the Kaiserhof station. They appar-

lots as coon as possible, for they were
among the earliest voters at the polls.
The officials attached to the postofice
have been given five hours leave Of abb
sence In order that they may
Vote vote in their respective districts.
Arrangements have been made by
which the flremon and the men
employed on the tramway and
omnibus lines will go to polling places

hours for voting purposed. Thus tar
everything has passed off very quietly
and no disturbances are expected.
