GERMANY VOTES
DEATH KNELL
TOMONARCHY
Easy Hindenburg Victory Fore
cast for Runoff Elections
on April 10

BERLIN, March IA I.N.S.).
Monarchism in Germany is
dead forever. Won Hinden-
burg and Republicanism re-
main.
This was the Interpretation
placed On the verdict of the
German people in yesterday s
elections, in which President
Paul Won Hindenburg over
wheImingly defeated Adolf
Hitler and at least temporarily
crushed the rising tide of Fas-
cism in Germany.
Realizing the futility of any at
tempt to defeat Won Hindenburg
in the run-ofl election on April
10, necessitated by the fact the
president failed of obtaining a
clear majority by less than 200,-
900 votes, Alfred Hugenberg,
leader of the Nationalist bloc,
today proposed a scheme to do
away with the run-off and save
his own party from another dis
aSter.
Concession Denied
Hugenberg proposed a change
in the constitution of the Reich
to enable the Reichstag. by a
two thirds majority, to pronounce
Won Hindenburg elected imme-
diately without the formality Of
a run-off.
He imposed the condition that
new Reichstag elections be called
simultaneously with the PrusSian
Diet elections on May 8.
The suggestion, however, was
flatly rejected by the government.
A check-up of the votes showed
that Hitler's National Socialist
party lost votes in every state
where it had been in power, with
the sole exception of Thuringia.
Small Plurality Needed
Hugenberg'S proposal was made
as an alternative to the suggested
"Harzburg coalition" whereby all
Nationalist parties would COM
bine in the run-off to defeat Won
Hindenburg, running some mem
Der of the former German i'm
perial family as candidate.
Won Hindenburg'S huge vote,
however, assured his success in
the run-off, as a simple plurality
will be all that is needed for his
election.
Polls 10000
AS voters crossed all party lines
to defend or challenge the
Hindenburg- -Bruening rule, the
veteran soldier-statesman polled
more than 100000 votes and
failed of election by only 1884,
votes.
