Berlin Jan. 10-Intense excitement has
been aroused here by an Interpolation,
presented recently to tho Prussian Land
tag by Liberal member and demand
ing the introduction OF manhood sufferage
IN the elections OF members OF the lower
house of the Prussan Landtag. Last
night no fewer than 35 Socialists mass
meetings were held in Berlin, as well as
many others in the country districts. in
favor OF the movement.
Today before the Landtag convened,
1000 Socialists marched before the parlia-
ment building. This demonstration as
sumed a somewhat threatening aspect
and a large body of police surrounded
the entrances to the building but there
was no actual disorder.
Under the present electoral system in
Prussia there are three classes OF elect
ors The laboring man has been COM
petely deprived OF representation in the
Prussan parliament owing to the fact
that he was overwhelmed at the final
elections by the other two candidates. The
categories of electors are formed arbi-
trarily by dividing the total amount of
taxation received by the state into three
equal parts. A small number of wealthy
persons, paying the first third OF the to-
tai of taxation select a certain number
of mon from their ranks to act as final
voters a more extended number OF less
wealthy persons who pay the next third
OF the full amount of taxation. choose an
equal number of final electors while the
third class OF voters, composed OF the re-
mainder OF the population and including
the workmen. whose numbers reach To
the millions are allowed 10 select num-
ber of final voters equal 10 that chosen
by each of the other two classes. The to-
tai number of fpal electors selected by
this process then proceed TO cast the final
vote at which the representatives of the
two first named classes always vote solid
ly together. thus shutting out any possi-
bility OF the election of a representative
of the working classes.
