Result Close in Battle Of

Toxic. April 81 G:15 p. mD.-The
indications are that the administration
has won the elections. The result will
be close. and many outlying districts
are still 10 be heard from.
The campaign marked an important
point in the struggle for more repre-
sentative form of government, In when
the victory apparently has been won by
the opponents of such reforms. Count
Okuma. leader of the movement Tor
representative government, although
having a majority in the House OF KEEP
resentatives. was replaced last year as
Premier by Count Terauchi, one OF the
most uncompromising opponents OF the
new school which threatened to revolu-
tionize the form of government. Count
Terauchi's avowed political slogan is
"no-party form of government.
The fall Of Count Okuma resulted IN
a sharp attack on the Terauchl minis
try. on the ground that it was not rep
rescntativc of the controlling clements
in the House OF Representatives. / ne
House was dissolved last January and
new elections were ordered. Opponents
of the Terauchi regime attacked the
Premier for dissolving the House. and
such men as Yukio Ozaki, Japan's great
progressist; Saburo Shmada. President
of the House Of Representatives. and
T. Taketomi, former Minister of Com
munications, vigorously assaulted 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
an occurrence, saying: "The present
Cabinet believes that the national poll
cies should be handled by a small group
of officials and is not respecting the
public"
