THE RUSSIAN ELECTION.
Strong Radical Group in Parliament
EnpectedLStolypins Plan.

St Petersburg Jan. 1.-THE electoral cam
paign In Russia IS now in full swing. and meet
ings are being held everywhere. These are linn
tied In their attendance TO registered voters.
and according TO the election law they may be
held without regard to party after the publica-
ton OF the registration lists.
The Social Democrats and other radicals, Tor
the first time. are able to present their plat
forms to voters Social Democratic orators have
had marked success IN St. Petersburg and Mos
cow and the victory OF this party and its allies
in these two cities is regarded as certain. IL
is predicted that there will be in the next parlia-
ment a strong and compact group of extreme
radicals social revolutiOnists, and toiers. who
are pledged to obstructive tactics which may
wreck the plans of the Constitutional Democrats
for the enactment of constructive legislation be-
fore locking horns with the administration In
regard TO a responsible ministry. When this
happens according to the reiterated declarations
of Premier Stolypin. parliament will at once be
dissolved and a revision of the election laws
will be undertaken before third body is sum-
moned.
The coalition of the Constitutional Democrats
and the Moderate Social Democrats reached
Joint decisions on questions of principle, but
divided on the matter of the partition or seats
The Constitutional Democrats of ST. Petersburg
proposed to retain four seats, give one TO the
Socialists and to the Workmen. Tne DO
cialists however, insisted on two seats.

PROBLEM IN FOUGERES STRIKES.
The strikes at Fougeres, the shoemaking CEN
tire of Brittany, offer very hard nut to crack
for the Clemenceau Cabinet, which was the first
TO create a Ministry of Labor and which is now
accused of being the first to suppress the liberty
of labor. Premier Clemenceau himself has al
ways adopted the maxim of Waldeck- Rousseau.

who wanted to work sacred as that of all
the others who did not want to work. Last year.
during the May strikes, NJ Clemenceau pluckily
stood to his colors. To-day the strikers at Fou-
ceres are complete masters of the town. and ter
rorize by insults and violence the minority who
are anxious to work An influential group of
Socialist Deputies has aggravated the situation
by pronouncing in favor of forcible prevention
