Results of Moscow Deal
The result in Moscow province con-
stitutes an anomaly in the elections. All
the constitutional Democrats went down.
but the result was engineered through
a deal with the reactioniSts and pOr
ton of the "octoberists' who bought the
support of the peasants in the electoral
college by allowing them to name an
additional member. The bargain was so
distasteful to NJ. Shipoff, the prominent
Zemstvo leader. and NJ. Chetverikoff.
that they declined to be parties to it,
withdrawing their candidatures and also
inducing the constitutional Democrats to
withdraw their ticket. which included
Prince Paul Dolgoroukoff, Prince Galit-

With the single exception of Tula, in
every province where the peasant class
was III the majority the electoral college
captured the majority of the members.
Most of them. however. although be-
longing to the peasant class, are actually
peasants in name only and have risen
far above their station. For instance a

Makes Effort to Break Jail

Rawlings of Lowndes county, who, with
two sons, is under sentence of death for
the murder of the Carter children, and
whose case is before the supreme court
of the United States, has written Gov.
Terrell asking the executives not to de-
lay the execution longer by granting any
reprieve or respite. He declares they are
tired of the whole affair and wish to be
hanged on May 4, as per sentence.
A third son of Rawlings is to serve
life sentence for the same crims. The
Rawlings had had trouble with Carter III
Florida and stabbed him, but he sur
vived. Carter moved to Georgia, and
the Rawlings followed, entered his home,
and killed his two children.
Despite the professed desire of the
Rawlings to be hanged, they made an
attempt at VaIdosta Saturday night to
break Jail. They had sawed some bolts,
and in a few hours would have effected
their escape.
