ROME, Oct. 23. (Special Cable.)
The approaching general elections,
which will be held under a new sys
tem, that of a blanket ballot with
proportional representation, are pro
longing instead of healing and rem
edying the present disturbed condi
tions of the country, and are further
complicating the situation.
Heretofore the election of most of
the deputies has depended mainly on
local and personal influence and un
der the old system of a party ballot
nearly all the political groups whose
name is legion were represented in
parliament. Besides, the so-called
constitutional parties, by tacit con
sent, invariably Joined forces with
the object of combating the radicals,
with the result that the socialists
and republicans were always in. the
email minority.
During the last elections the Cath
olics were not yet organized into a
party and were forbidden to vote by
the pope lest their participation in
the elections might be misrepresented
as recognition by him of the king
dom of Italy, thus implying the re
nunciation of his claim to temporal
power. But at the eleventh hour the
Catholics were permitted to cast their
vote a3 a whole for the ministerial
candidates against the socialists, who,
therefore, were represented in parlia
ment by only 50 members.
Situation Is Changed.
Now the situation is radically
changed. Any union of the constitu
tional parties and groups is impossi
ble and consequently the defense of
existing institutions is no longer as
sured. Because of the new electoral
system party organization Is indis
pensable and accordingly the social
ists, despite their divergent tenden
cies for and against communism, have
fully realized the necessity of union
and ",scipline during the electoral
campaign. Similarly the Catholics
now form a united and organized
party which, although of recent for
mation, still is well disciplined and
powerful, thanks to the controlling
influence of the clergy.
The socialists and the Catholics are
the only two organized, important
parties likely to reap the fruits of
electoral reform. Both refuse any
alliance with the other parties or
groups, which, therefore, realize their
own position of inferiority and weak
ness. Instead of resorting to the only
remedy, that of joining forces, these
parties and groups are now wasting
energy and activity in useless strife
based upon bitter recriminations. The
question of Fiume and the mistakes
committed during the war are seized
on by the opposition to the govern
ment as pretexts for electoral pur
poses, with the result that the utmost
confusion prevails and the most prom
inent deputies are refusing to stand
for re-election.
Members Refuse Re-election.
Out of 508 members who composed
the old parliament nearly 350 have
refused re-election and owing to the
difficulty of replacing them the na
tionalists, republicans, radicals, re
formist socialists and constitutional
liberals, who formed the war party
known as "II Fascio" (the group),
are now practically without leaders.
Under such circumstances it can be
easily understood that predictions are
unsafe, but it is reasonably expected
that the number of socialist repre
sentatives in parliament will be in
creased from 50 to 100, while 100
Catholics will be returned.
The remaining 300 deputies will be
divided equally between the adherents
of Giolitti and different groups. As
the Catholics and Giollttans both sup
port the government, a working ma
jority is assured. But the opposition
will be strengthened, as the socialists
oppose systematically every cabinet
and if the representatives of the dif
ferent groups who openly advocate a
revision of the constitution join
forces, the opposition may overthrow
the cabinet at any moment.
Pessimistic predictions are unjusti
fied so far, but the situation is de
cidedly complicated and is not likely
to be improved. The only thing cer
tain is that the slightest attempt by
the socialists to incite bolshevism is
bound to provoke the Immediate
union of all the other parties.
California until after replies are all
in.
T have no power to limit the dura
tion of an extraordinary legislative
session," Governor Harts telegram
read, "and, therefore, doubt the wis
dom of a special session unless the
necessity therefor clearly appears."
CHILD LAW INTERPRETED
Welfare Body's Jurisdiction Is
Only Over Commitments, Opinion.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.)
Private persons, entrusted with the
care of children by parents who work
out, do not come under the jurisdic

general. The law, according to Mr.
Van Winkle, includes only those
agencies, societies and institutions
ncorporated for the purpose of ear
ns for children committed to theii
custody by the courts.
However, the attorney holds that if
persons fail to care properly for chil
dren placed In their keeping, the child
welfare commission can, upon mak
ing a proper showing, have the child
removed from their charge by a com
mitment from a court placing the
child in the keeping of some regu
larly recognized child-caring organization.

10-rib protection
against Spanish influenza !
ARMY surgeons compelled soldiers to wear heavy underwear
during the epidemic of Flu last winter. In the camps
where the greatest precautions were taken, a much smaller per
centage contracted the disease.
Keep the body warm, avoid a run-down vitality, and germs
. of "Flu", Grippe and Colds will have small chance with you.
r That is why the 2 extra ribs per inch in Mayo Underwear for
Men and Boys are so important this winter. Except high-priced
underwear. Mayo is the only underwear with 10 ribs to the inch
instead of 8.
Mayo Underwear for Men and Boys is health protection.
Figure it out yourself: 2 extra ribs in every inch that covers
your body.
Your husky young boys no longer fight against changing to
winter weight no scratch or tickle soft and downy, that's 10-rib
Mayo Underwear.
And youll find your Mayo Underwear as elastic as it is soft
and warm with 10 ribs to the inch instead of 8. Of course 2 extra
ribs to every inch are bound to say to your busy body, "We put
more cosy stretch and give in every little movement."
Of course 2 extra ribs per inch put longer life into Mayo Under
wear and your underwear dollars.
But perhaps the biggest reason of all for going to the dealer
who features Mayo Underwear, in this year of high prices is:
Mayo 10-rib Warmth at an 8-rib Price.
IJature is lulling you into a false security with her soft balmy
