GERMANS TO VOTE
FIRST NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY JAN. 19

ELECTROMAGNETIC of the
Associated Press Forty million
voters. men and women, must be
registered for the election of na.
tional assembly in Germany on Jan
IS next, it is estimated by Prof
Hugo Preuss, minister Of the in
terror. In the last reichstag cleo.
,-tion the voters, all male, numbered
only 100000, he says. They were
scattered over 397 election dis
tricts. The new election bill pro
vides for only IS such districts for
the whole country which, Prof
PreusS adds, means more than q
million voters in each district.
Pro-. Preuss is one af the few
prominent leaders of the progress
siVe bourgeoisie who was given an
important post in the provisional
government. In an interview with
a correspondent of the Associated
Press he pointed out the technical
difficulties in the way OF organi4-
ing 100000 voters in time foI
the election and added:
1.-THE constituent assembly" he
said should be thoroughly repre-
sentative and its mandate above
suspicion. We therefore are pro-
ceeding with great caution. The
new suffrage franchise which viii
be tried out at the coming cleo.
ton is based on a direct, equal
secret ballot for all males and fe
males of 20 years and over. We
are now engaged in issuing wTiis
for the election for which fully
100000 men and women viii
qualify.
Zone OF the principal details OF
the radical reconstruction OF our
voting system is the original com
pilation of a list of the qualified
women voters. Then the work OF
cataloGuing the millions Of return
ing soldiers that are taking up new
residences is also contributing
heavily to the task of organizing
the election.
