Election Ordered for November 6, With
Prospects for Serious Trouble
coci,I;e4s tho Cause
Socialists the Cause.

SOCIALISTS tnS SaGSSs
Rome Oct. 2o.-A royal decree was
published today fixing the general cleo
tions for November and supplement-
airy balloting for November ID. All gar
risons have been reinforced and a
squadron of warships Is at Genoa.
The political situation. IN view of the
general elections. is such as TO cause
serious alarm both at the vatican and
at the Quirinal
The socialistic movement has made
enormous strides in the last few years
among all classes. While it has for its
apparent purpose the lettering OF the
conditions Of the working people, IN
reality it threatens the very foundatloh
Of monarchcal institutions and the ex-,
listing order of things.
This year, since the dissolving OF par
| lament and the setting of the date for,
the general elections. all the extreme
parties have come together. The social
lists have united with the republicans
| and anarchists to get a majority in par
lament with prospects of success.
| Premier Giolitti is moving all manner
| of encouragement to monarchical cam
| didates, and, to preserve order, mas
called out the militia reserves, which
will not only help to repress all VIOLA
tons of law. but under gentle pressure,
| will contribute many thousand votes 10
| the monarChical cause
All Fear Socialists.
| Fearing however. the enormous ma
iority of socialists among the voters,
| the government has entered into Sc
| cret understanding with the vatican by
| which some Catholics of monar"hicai
proclivities will be allowed to run for
| parliamelt in districts where religious
lines will form the principal issues OF
the campaign.
The present aim of the socialists and
| extremists is to overthrow the existing
cabinet and substitute socialistic min
istry through a majority in parliament
which could obstruct all legislation.
The recent general strike. ordered on
the preteXt of military interference IN
disputes between employers and EN-.
ployes, was only forerunner of what
the socialists intended to do at the cleo
lions. The leaders, many of whom are
now candidates, say their followers anc
sympathizers are SO numerous as TO IN
sure for the party large majority II
the election.
The governments principal hope q
success lies in the fact that nearly al
the wealth of individuals and institu
lions is invested in government BONDS
and many, who otherwise might SUP
port socialist candidate. will be de
tered from doing so because a revolu
ton or the overthrow of the govern
ment would lessen the value of sucl
securities and rob thousands Of thei
incomes
