PER CENT. VOTE
Russia's first General Election will be held, it is rumoured, about Dec. 1, after mass celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, which occurred on Nov. 7.
Already, many millions of envelopes specially de- signed to "ensure secrecy of the ballot" are being printed.
A 100 per cent. poll for the Stalinites under a single party system" is aimed at, and the cam- paign waxes hotter than ever against all such "enemies of the people" as might possibly seek to persunde electors not to vote for the officially candidates, says the approved

Numerous teams of skilled cly agitators have been sent out to vill- ages from Moscow, Leningrad and Kieft to counteract "hostile activity" during the elections by all sorts of "Counter-revolutionaries."
According to a leading artele in Pravda, the Communist party's news- paper, these opponents of the present regime intend to intensify their "dirty work."
