MOSCOW ELECTIONS.

5 PER CENT. OF ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE.

Moscow, Feb. 1. The result of the Soviet elec-! tions in Moscow, now published, show that the percentage of the poll has increased this time from 70 to 35 per cent. There were elected over 2,500 delegates, of; whom roughly two-thirds are Com- munists. Twenty-five per cent. of the elected are women. During the hlection period it is intimated that 84,000 workers joined the Communist Party!

circulation. ed coupons have been put into

a nature of a temptation, and the traffic in coupons and vouchers tended to bring temptation to numbers of people who thought they could win prizes if they could get hold of coupons, licitly or illicitly.
