SOME MINOR DISTURBANCES REPORTED.

ROME, April 7.

小

The Fascisti are obtaining a sweeping victory in the Parliamentary e.ections.

Disturbances occurred at Bari, Rovico and Naples but they were not serious.

Mussolini's success is practically, a foregone conclusion, largely on account of the new elec- toral law. which assigns two thirds of the total seats to the party obtainlug the largest number of

MUSSOLINI.

votes.

A slight element of doubt however exists owing to the provision that the winning party must poll 25 per cent of the aggregate votes cast and some scores of parties have taken the field,

On the other hand these are mostly small and un- organised, only two- namely, the Popular Party and the Unitarian Socialist Party- fighting in all electoral districts... The former is in nowise violently antagonistic to the Government, but it is disavowed by Mussolini.

The latter led by Turati are moderate Sociálista, while a dark horse is the so-called Constitutional Opposition Party led by the former Premier Bonomi and the former Minister Amendola which claims much support in the country, although only of recent formations and lacking organisation.
