LEFT PARTIES GAIN
IN FRENCH ELECTION
Municipal Voting Shows Govern.

Extremists Aid Charged.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 11.-Victory for the
government parties in the second bal.
loting of the municipal elections YES
terday was freely conceded by the
opposition this morning without
awaiting the official tabular returns.
But bitter criticisms were made that
1t was won with the aid of the Elk.
tremists. The returns confirm the
accentuated trend to the Left mani
tested In the first balloting a week
ago.
The municipal elections are bound
to have a certain effect on the cleo
tions in 1927 of one-third of the Sen
ate. as the senatorial electors are
largely drawn from the city councils.
and if the vote went according to
yesterdays Indications the govern
ment would find itself considerably
strengthened in the upper house.
Political observers, however, point
out that the city elections are not
fought altogether on political lines:
parochial issues and personalities en-.
ter into the contests to some extent.
The Left parties. they believe, owe
their victory mainly TO well preserved
party discipline.
