Otto Braun, former premier of Prussia, has big fight on his hands in trying to keep intact the socialist vote, which is menaced by the com munlsts. He is expected, however to hold second place in the final count,
 By virtue of his sturdy defense of the Weimar constitution, and the intellectual quality of his speeches, Prof Willy Hellpach the democratic party's nominee, has easily proven the outstanding figure among thee seven contending candidates. He is little known however. outside of his home state of Baden, of which he is premier, and he is presented by party which in the past has failed to enthuse the German voter. He is viewed as a political esthete and his campaign has been free of the partl- san ascerbities which have marked the propaganda launched for Jarres and Braun.
 Hellpach May Be Proposed.
 Dr. Hellpach may again be pro- posed by the democrats for the sec- ond balloting on April 26 as joint candidate for the three liberal par ties, as political experts are already convinced that Dr. Marx, the former chancellor, will be unavailable as q compromise standard bearer for the democrats, centrists and socialists.
 Dr. Marks position after the first balloting is still matter of con- iuncture, and while he will receive the full vote of his party tomorrow there is grave doubt whether he can qualify as a raIlying point for the German liberal clements since his iil-starred adventure in Prussian politics.
