70 PARTIES FOR
| GERMAN VOTE

BERLIN, March Is. APPROX
mate1y $4,000 candidates, represent
ing 20 different parties, will contend
in the race for 493 Reichstag seats
in the forthcoming general election.
Many of the candidates will be
women.
The Reichstag will be dissolved at
the end of this month. The date
for the election has not been set,
but it is believed it will be held in
May. There is every indication that
lots Of fresh blood" will enter the
legislative body and that many
prominent members of the old
Reichstag will not choose to run. -
The present stage of the political
campaign is marked by a lack of
enthusiasm by the parties and by
complete Indifference on the part of
the masses. With the exception of
the Socialists, who expect to gain
seats by attacking the Marx govern
ment for alleged fnefficiency and
evidences of corruption, none of the
parties has been able to offer a
platform by which to draw votes.
