fore they should be the first ones to
pledge themselves to break up the prae-
tice
Some few of the candidates have
expressed themselves as very much
opposed to signing the pledge and their
reasons are most interesting. One says
that if he signed he would be giving up
his right of citizenship-does Che right
of citizenship give one the right to buy
another mans birthright, his vote?
Another says that if he signed he
would be hypoerite-which is very
frank way of saying that he intends to
buy, pledge or no pledge. And the
few other reasons are just as childish
We hope for results by tomorrow.

BERLIN. January Is. by wireless to

''The king. however, is confronted

count of the fact that Great Britain

Not only the Greek government. but
