Berlin Is Billboarded

Berlin, Sunday Jan. l9-The
itreets OF Berlin today were virtu-
ally buried under a deluge OF cleo
don dodgers, handbills and leaflets,
while the fronts OF houses and
available windows were plastered
with huge posters hungt by cam
paign workers during y morning,
frequently without the knowledge OF
house and store proprietors.
The spectacle was one wholly new
TO Berlin. where the billboard priv
ilegcs are confined strictly to the
familiar columns on the street cor
ncrs, while ordinarily the distribu-
ton of handbills is severely re-
stricted by police regulations.
Today, however, the house and
shop fronts on Inter den Linden
from the Pariserplatz to the Opera
House were one continuous bill
board appeal to the voters The
much-adyertised paper shortage
with which the publishers have been
forced to contend, hardly appeared
to be an actuality in the light OF
the mass OF campaign literature
with which Berlina literally has been
choked for the last few days.
The majority socialists alone are
reported to have distributed 10000
600 dodgers, in addition to wall-pa-
pering the city with myriads OF pos
tiers.
The entire apparatus OF the gov
ernment was set in motion for the
majority socialist campaign which
was easily the most effective OF any
carried on for todays historic cleo
ton of members OF the national as
Scmbly. In addition to having the
strategic advantage OF governmental
control, the Scheidemann party was
more adept at campaigning than
the bourgeois factions, to whom the
game under present conditions was
somewhat new.
The independent socialists con
fined their attempts at vote-getting
to public meetings and were not
represented in the spread OF the
vast quantities OF printers ink. The
German diplomatic party, however
was literally represented among The
handbills and posters, and in addi'
ton it carried on an active houseto.
house canvass. The conservatives
clericals and national liberals PROVED
themselves comparative tyros II
campaigning methods, relying chief
iy on the party newspaper organs
1t is estimated that no less thar
seven divisions OF troops wer,
placed at disposal OF the govern
ment to protect polling places. \
machine gun squad was in position
within a hundred feet OF each vot
ing place while trong military polio,
patrols also were on guard. TIL,
voters everywhere turned out early
and the rush to the polls resulted il

and women awaiting their turne t,
