the members OF the lower house OF par
lament who signed the viborg mani

The charge under which the slgners
Of the manifesto will be brought to
trial Is violation Of article 100 OF
the criminal code. which provides for
attempts 10 overthrow the existing

No arrests yet have been reported,
and the constitutional Democrats do
not anticipate anything approaching
punishment OF their Representatives. It
is understood tina. the arrested will be
admitted to bail pending trial The
constitutional Democrats are chiefly APP
prehensive that the possibility Of pros

leaders will render them Ineligible for
reelection. In the same manner that
Prof. Milukoff and N. Hessel and 9TH
