Another. projected resolution would, forbid-Chinese or Jews from mem ying Mexicans—United Press, The electoral campaign today brought about a big sensation in the shape of a sudden search for arms in all offices of the Socisi Democrat Party throughout the country when, according to the government press, there were found 4,000 rifles, 150 revolvers, 20 machine guns' 160 hand grenades, 400,000, rounds of ammunition, several wireless transmitters and, a number of field telephone stations.
It is significant that no parallel action was undertaken against the organizations of the Right which are known to. be well equipped with: arms of all sorts and that quarters close to the Minister of the Interior! claim that these raids were. only partly successful and that the num~ ber of arms actually found was comparatively small because some officials of the Ministry had warned the Social Democrat leaders is time to enable them to remove the greater part of the weapons to places of safety. These officials, it] is said, will be dismissed and pro-secured for breach of official seerets. It is added that the search of the office and homes of some prominent Social Democrat leaders: to-day revealed. the existence of a widespread plot aiming at subver'~ ing the army and police as well as detailed. instructions for an armed ing including a complete manual for street warfare.
The opposition parties, on the other hand, maintain that all axe merely idle stories spun for the Purpose of supplying a pretext for prohibiting the Republican associa.
order to. influence the elections which are to take place on of|Sucday next.
Besides, the reac-the Interior, tarhemberg, is credited with the: intention of also issuing' immediately a decree dissolving and prohibiting the Republican Protection League which ix closely associated with the. Social Democrat Party. A number of commanders and officers of the gendarmerie who are known to be adherents of the Republican groups have also been summarily dismissed and replaced by men connected with the rene-jon ary parties.
Most of the newspapers, especially the Republican organs, appear in these days with large blank patches due to part of their reports and articles being blotted out by the censorship which the authorities introduced for the time. of the election campaign. In spite of that to-day they openly sound an alm declaring that Premier Vaugoin acd Minister of the Interior Prince Starhemberg aim at a Fascis: counter-revolution irrespective of what the results of the general elections might be. In any cage, tuation must be regarded as very serious.-Trans-Ocean Kuo Min.
