JAPANESE BALLOT ON MINSEITO RULE Bitterly - Fought Campaign Centers on Domestic Economic_Issues. : By the Associated Press. TOKIO, Pebruary 20.—Balloting open- ed throughout Japan early today in the general election which will decide the fate of the present Minseito govern- ment, headed by Premier Yuko Hama- | guchi. The prime minister dissolved the Im- perial Parliament January 21 and ap- pealed to the electorate for a mandate | to continue in office, for approval of its program of drastic national economy and of its recent restoration of the gold | standard. In the last Parliament the opposition | party, the Seiyukai, had 237 seats of the total of 466, with the Minseito plny holding only 173. It was generally predicted that the | Minseito would gain a substantial plu- rality and possibly an absolute majority. 839 Are Contestants. A total of 839 candidates are con- testing for the offices. The Minseito party had 355 candidates, the Seiyukai 305, the Proletarian or Labor groups 95, with 84 others divided among the in- dependent parties. The latter have been divided among themselves and are un- likely to increase their bloc much above the 7 seats held in the last House of Representatives. A few small parties are likely to return from 1 to 4 mem- bers, while among the large sprinkling of independent candidates from 20 to 30 are usually elected. The bitterly fought campaign has been concerned almost altogether with | domestic economic issues. naval conference was not mentioned in the platform of either major party. The Minseito defended its economie program and the return to gold payments as the only sure road to stability and eventual prosperity. the program had brought on unneces- sary business depressiop and unemploy- ment and promised an early:return of prosperity and jobs for all if it were given a mandate. Buddhists Are Entered. but politically unxmpomnt groups, which nevertheless figured the contest, were the militant B\ld- dhists, who put up several Buddhist priests as candidates, and the prohibi- | iess their efforts have been crowned tionists, who entered no candidate, but fought lustily against known drinkers and supported those who came out in | at¢ have demonstrated how powerful favor of further restrictions of the liquor traffic. Wm:en I?thizledthln incre‘-s{n:ly im- portant pa e campaign. Nearly 13,000,000 persons are eligible to vote and between 70 and 80 per cent of them were expected to exercise this | right. Voting was by secret ballot. Premier Hamaguchi and six members of his cabinet were candidates for seats in the Lower House. TAXI DRIVER SLAIN IN PITTSBURGH RIOT Motor Cycle Policeman Fires at !

FLOOD OF LOBBYISTS | SEEN BY M’MASTER Senator Tells of Activities of In- | dustries to Win Legislation in Congress. . “Lobbyists swarm Washington,” Sen- ator McMaster, Republican, of South Dakota told farmers of the country in an address over a network of the National Broadcasting Co. yesterday. He spoke under auspices of the Farm- ers’ Union during the National Farm and Home hour. “The influence of lobbyists is felt so- cially as well as politically,” the Sena- tor said, “and, while the story of their activities is a sordid one, yet neverthe- 'lbh amazing success. “Five years of experience in the Sen- industrial organizations have become. Their influence on national legislation | is outstanding and, in my judgment, | has become a menace.” Speaking of the nomination of | Charles Evans Hughes for Chief Jus- tice, Senator McMaster said: “The | fight just waged in the United States | Senate over the appointment of Chief Justice Hughes has undoul ih a general way, been represen as a fight against an individual. Far-reach- ing economic questions were involved in that fight.” ! & Electric Project Revealed.
