Milan, Italy.-Is more democracy
the cure for democracy?
Certainly the trend In European
countries is toward the trial OF the
prescription. The demand for an ex-
tension of the suffrage 10 confined to
no nation. but may be heard from
Great Britain to Greece, from big Rus
STA, where the desire is for a duma
chosen by a genuinely popular vote,
to little Portugal, where the slight
semblance Of a republic seeks to hold
power by permitting all men to vote
who vote the ticket of the republic.
Italy Gets Manhood Suffrage.
In Italy, where this letter is writ
ten, the most colossal experiment in
the extension Of the suffrage Ia hav-
ing its first trial. The electoral law.
passed by the late chamber Of depu-
ties, raises the number of voters in
Italy from $4,000 to 8,762.250, an
increase of more than five million.
Under the new law Italy has prac-
tically manhood suffrage for the entire
nation. All males thirty years Of age
and over, and all males twenty years
Of age and under thirty who can read
and write, or who have performed
military service, are permitted to vote.
Illiteracy and non-performance of mill
tary duty alone exclude from suffrage
and these only where the age Of the
prospective voter Is under thirty
years. It is an experiment, which.
though paralleling 1t in some degree
far surpasses even the war measure.
which thrust unprepared the colored
men Of the United States into poll
tics. The questions as to the extent
to which the Italians heretofore ex-
cluded will avail themselves of the
new privileges and the manner in
which they will exercise their right
Of choice. can not now be answered
with any degree Of accuracy. The In

Candidates Fight BY Posters.
In two or three particulars the DIFF
ferences we're notable. The multi
colored posters on the walls Of pub
lie buildings, on monuments, on tele-
phone and telegraph posts, every
where, extolling the merits or de-
nouncing the dement's Of candidates
are unknown in American politics.
These are posted up days before the
election and on election day. A mani
festo on blue paper praising candi-
date A is posted on election morning.
An hour or two later candidate BIS
friends post a manifesto on red paper
declaring that candidate A Is not a
patriot but an enemy of the people
and should not receive the electors
support. The public places in the
towns are literally overwhelmed with
these election posters. The effective
ness of this peculiar campaign method
may be doubted. The candidate whose
posters were most numerous and most
conspicuously gorgeous in Milan was
fourth in the list when the votes
were counted. The custom has pic

demagogues who care nothing for

well-considered view was that of Dr..

with progress: For q time the effect

call bosses In America. These men
