Canton, Aug. 4.
August 1 was the first election day in the political history of Kuangiung for the election of district magistrates and members of Assembly.
Most of the districts will come under the influence of the Kuomintang, Dr. Sun's party, as there is no other in the field.
Every voter has to pay a road tax of 60 cents before being able to vote, while some of the candidates have to pay "'taxes'' for their supporters, thus giving rise to the charge that the election is being bought or sold-There is no doubt there will be some corruption in the election.—Reuter.
