Count Herbert Is running as candidate in

will have TO take place in Mt least two thirds

upon making dickers with various factions

most try to do will be to make concessions
TO number of reaotionarv parties and thus
line them up in support Of HIS policy. The
liberals are we'll aware of this danger and
they will seek TO compromiss ON tho army

spirit of compromise the kaiser and the
chancellor build hopes of success.
A mob OF 200 social democrats broke into

clear the hall. but the socialists refused to
