Congress CrippleS Kerensky
After Voting For
Firm Cabinet
EXTREMISTS POLL O13
VOTES AGAINST plan
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press
PETROGRAD, Oct 3..The all-Russian
Democratic Congress today voted Si3 to
$50 against a coalition government.
The declsicn Is a blow directly at
Premier kerensky and the provisional
government.
Yesterday The same conference voted
l66 90 6SS In favor Of a coalition OF all
parties In the formation OF a cabinet
which should firmly administer the
Russian democracy.
The vote today came after the con-
ference had formally determined TO re-
consider that decision
The sudden change OF mind by the
Democratic conference is inexplicable
unless the Bolshevil1i and anti -Keren-
sky forces seized upon a moment in
the proceedings when the majority
elements were about to hurry through
a reconsideration OF Tuesdays vote
and then had sufficient strength TO
overthrow the previous vote sustain
ing Kerensky.
10 was pointed out that In the vote
OF approval Of a coalition government
the total number of delegates who
participated was 1.454. The second
vote for rejection, was cast by only
993 -Four hundred and sixty one dele
gates were absent.
Rejection OF a coalition plan in such
a fashion may or may not stand
Kerensky's supporters have insisted
that unless Kerenskys idea OF q
union OF all elements I'm the govern
ment was approved utter chaos woult
follow In Russia.
