Count Okuma Turned Down.

The campaign which has just ended
in Japan marked an important point in
the struggle for a more representative
form of government, in which the vic
tory apparently has been won by the
opponents of such reforms. Count
Okuma. leader of the movement for
representative government. although
having a ma jority in the house of rep
resentatives, was replaced last year as
premier by Count Terauchi, one of the
most uncompromising opponents of the
new school, which threatened to revo-
lutionize the form of government.
Count Terauchi's avowed political slo-
gan is mo party form of govern
ment."
The fall of Count okuma resulted in
sharp attack on the Terauchi min
istry on the ground that it was not
representative of the controlling ele-
ments in the house of representatives.
The house was dissolved last January
and new elections were ordered.
Government Vigorously Assailed.
Opponents of the Terauchi regime
attacked the premier for dissolving the
house. and such men as Yukio Ozaki,
Japan's great progressist; Saburo Shi-
mazda. president of the house of repre-
sentatives, and T. Taketomi. former
minister of communications, vigorously
assailed the government at campaign
rallies.
NJ. Ozaki in particular took up the
constitutional issue. declaring that the
abrupt dissolution of the house in the
face of the majority was against the
spirit of the constitution He urged
the people to prevent repetition of such
cabinet believes that the national poll
cies should be handled by a small group
of officials and is not respecting the
public
