News and Gossip From the
Capital By Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. so.
The election of a reactionary
douma in Russia threatens to
make very difficult the negotia-
ton of a new treaty affecting the
status of American Jews, travel
ing In that country.
News of the results of the Rus
sian election is just reaching
Washington. According to best
reports the standpatters of Rus
STA will control the new douma by
a large majority.
The douma is chosen in a pc
culiar way. Instead of real pop
ular elections, Russia has worked
out a modification of our electoral
college scheme. 1t is less pop
ular, however, than ours in the
fact that the electors r twice
removed from the people instead
of once removed. For example,
the workmen in a taken commun-
ity elect electors who in turn
elect other electors, who later on

make the choice of representatives
to the national Legislature. At
each step the government author
tiles, either provincial or nation
al administrative authorities, in
terpose obstacles to the express
sion of the popular will. Some
times there are property qualin-
cations and sometimes publicity
is denied. Occasionally the cleo
tors themselves are tempered
with.
In this next douma, which is
Russia's fourth, over "a per cent
of the representatives will be
priests. Out of 1926 electors
chosen at the polls to elect the
candidates to the douma 2,340
belonging to the reactionary par
ties, namely to the so-cafied
Rights and Nationalists, 500 are
independents, 500 are Octobrists,
that is, semi-reactionaries or
moderates. There are several
progressive groups; SIS are class
ed as straight progressives, 347
as constitutional democrats, 324
as extreme lefts or radicals; TO-
tai, 1,1S6 progressives.
Thus the reactionary majority
Is approximately 1,154.
Russia has strongly resented
the abrogation of the treaty of
1882, and is throwing obstacles
in the way of Curtis Guild,
ambassador, in his endeavors to
negotiate a new treaty more IA
vorable to American Jews. Rus
sia was officially outraged re-

present douma, and member of
the staff of "Retch."
The reactionary douma will be
used by the government to voice
opposition to any new treaty.
