he electoral campaign in Germany

union Of Liberals and Conservatives
against the Social Democrats. He con-
fesses that since 1903 the government
has been unable to do business with
put the cooperation Of the Center
Or Catholic party, but he denies that
he has sacrificed the rights of the
state or Of the coalition. He said the
time came, however, when the Center
abused it's power by joining the Social
lists in opposition to the colonial policy;
hence he had advocated the dissolution
Of the reichstag. The Social Democra-

personal nor party despotism.

making their campaign largely on the
increased cost of the government, and
they demand more power for the
reichstag. Notwithstanding $45 900, 900
