SUCCEEDS EBERT

Won Hindeburg comes to the chair
once occupied by Friederich Ebert,
who was chosen president by the ma
tion assembly in Weimar in Febru-
ary, 1919, and who died In Berlin in
February, 1925.
The women's votes and a heavy
turnout of former stay-at-home vot-
ers elected the field marshal Net
until the returns from 33 out of So
elections districts were received and
tabulated could the outcome be deter
mined, and from the close of the polls
at o'clock, it was any mans game,
as the two chief candidates ran neck
and neck in the official count.
An advance analysis of the vote in
dicates that Won Hindenburg scored
seavily in East Prussia and Other
agrarian areas, polling 100000
more votes in Chese sections than did
DR.. Jarres in the March election,
while DR.. Marx gained only half a
million more votes than was polled
by the three republican parties on
that occasion.
Flat Country Elects
1t was the fat country and new
voters that aided the field marshal
to Office.
The streets Of Berlin were almost
deserted when the final results were
made known, an all-day drizzling rain
having kept the customary election
crowds indoors. The voting through
out Greater Berlin proceeded in ali
orderly fashion despite the heat of
the present campaign and the size of
the vote recorded throughout Ger
many is taken as evidence that the
mass of the voters had pretty well
made up their minds in advance.
Among the features were the heavy
vote polled by DR.. Marx in the Rhine
land and his showing in Bavaria.
These advantages, however, were
not sufficient to enable him to over
come the detection of the socialists
in Saxony who went In a body to the
Communists, where he failed to OBJ
tain the party's former vote. In
Schleswig- -Holstein Won Hindenburg
gained 100000 new votes, while the
peoples bloc succeeded only in hold
ing its vote cf March 20.
Vindicates Prediction
The result vindicates the prediction
made by Won Hindenburg's campaign
managers who backed their ability to
mobilize the stay-at-home vote, and
also dissenters in the ranks of the
democratic and central parties. The
peoples party supported the national
lists candidates, despite the prediction
that Dr. Marx would receive the &C
tive support Of the Catholic elector.
