Latest Returns Give the Friends of the
Army Bill Much Hope-New Elections
Required in Many Districts.
BERLIN, June 19.-The election re-
turns are virtually complete The re-
port from but one district is lacking.
The revision of the returns may
necessitate few alterations, but
they will be trivial. The candi.
dates elected number 215. OF these
101 will vote for the army bill, Ia
against it. In the following list by
parties the anti-Semetic conservatives
are included with the conservatives
and the independents are treated as
members of the parties with which they
affiliated in the reichstag:
Liebcr clercals, 6s; social democrats 20; con-
sorvatives and agrarians, A; national liberals,
lS; radical unonists who favor the bill, A;
Poles, l2; free conservatives, 10; clericals fa.
vorabe to the bill, II: Alsatians, z; south Ger.
man democrats 4; anti-Semites, 1.-TWO of them
favoring the bilD: Bavarian agrarians, 2;
Guelphs 1; Danes, 1; Bavarian separatists.1 !,
Among the candidates in the 1s1 new
ballots there will be 10 Poles, SO con-
| servntives, agrarians, Z free conserva-
tives, T2 national liberals, 80 clericals,
| n social democrats, IL radical union
| lists, 80 Richterists, 1e antiSemites and
| s Guelphs.
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 democrats have been
regarded with alarm, their imme-
diate effect upon the fate of
the army bill will be more than offset
by the Richter radicals. After four
hours in conference Saturday afternoon
the ministers who had met the chan
cellor to discuss the results of the cleo
ton decided that in view of the recent
returns it would be supertiuous and in
expedient to issue an appeal to the
country before the second ballots.
The official returns from many con-
stituencies have been received and will
be published to-day They contain
much interesting information as to votes
polled by conspicuous candidates. Count
Herbert Bismarck, who was elected
by the agrarians in the Jerichow
district, received 11,669 votes to 6.S4S
cast FOR Ferdinand Woellmer. radical,
who was the last member for the
district, GloeclSc, the social democratic
candidate, received 4,43i votes. Count
Herberts majority over all, there
fore, was 4S0 He polled the
strength of the conservative vote,
which on the first ballot in 1890 was
11,lS2. The radical vote in 1890 was
9.564 and the socialist vote 2,4S7. These
figures illustrate clearly how the social
lists sapped the strength of the Richter
ist vote. In Metz DR.. Haas, Alsatian
and clerical, was elected by 9,G55 votes
to 3,4S6 cast for Liebermann Won
Somnenberg. the anti-Semite, and 3, ,42S
for Wilhelm Lieblinecht, leader of the
social democrats. In Ragnit Count vor
Kanitz, the high protection conserva
tive, received $3.50 votes to 1,7SS cast
. for his opponent, DR.. Broesicke, of the
radical union.
Rector Ahlwardt, the notorious jew
batter now serving a sentence for libel
) in the Ploetzensee prison, swept every
J thing before him in the Arnswalde dis
| trict, his old constituency. He pollet
S,046 votes, while Bornstedt, regular
conservative, received but 2,9T3; Ernst
} radical unionist, but l,447, and NIillarg
social democrat, but T43.
