AND A COALITION
CABINET ASSURED
Premier Kerensky Scores a
Great Victory at the Dem
ocratic Conference Now in
Session at Petrograd.

Petrograd. Sept. 2S. Delay yed) Pre-
mier kerensky and his supporters at
the Democratic congress now in session
today scored a victory over the Bols-
heviki faction, which for a while
threatened to seize the government and
plunge Russia into civil war. The
Minlmalist faction of the Social De-
mocracy and the Socialist revolution
lists voted in favor of n coalition gov
ernment.
The new coalition ministry is to con-
sist of members of the Socialist par
ties, the Moscow industrial group and
the peoples will party, an offshoot Of
the constitutionalist Democrats who
share with the Socialists their opposi-
tion to Paul Miliukoff.
The constitutionalist Democrats (Ca-
dets) are to be excluded from the gov
ernment.
Premier kerensky was today confer
ring with members of the Moscow in
dustrial group under the leadership of
Former Minister of Trade Konovaloff
on their participation in the new min
istry.
So out voted were the Rolsheviki
faction that they did not dare to pro-
duce their leader Nicholas Lenine at
the congress following the declara ton
of the government that his appearance
would be followed by his arrest.
The demand of the Bolsheviki for the
exclusion of all Burgeois elements from
the government has been rejected. The
decision of the congress to exclude the
Miliukoff faction is expected to take
the wind out of the sails of the Boil
sheviki. The congress. however, re-
fused to bar from participation the
Burgeois- Democratic elements under
the leadership of Former Vice Premier
Nekrasoff and Foreign Minister Teres-
chenke.
Premier kerensky definitely threw
down the gauge of battle to the Boil
sheViki, who encouraged by their cap
ture Of the local councils of workmen
and soldiers in Petrograd and Moscow
threatened to repeat their counter rev
olution of last July. Heckled by some
Rolsheviki delegates. Kerensky warned
them that the nation would not con-
tInue longer to tolerate the disrupting
tactics of their party and the danger
they bring to the defense of the ma
tion.
