Berlin, April 27.—The people of Germany have rallied to the banner of Field Marshal von Hindenburg and elected him president of the republic. He is the first president of Germany to be elected by popular ballot. He was nominated by the National-Con servative bloc to replace Dr. Karl Jar- res, who failed of election in the first balloting March 29. His opponent was Dr. Wilhelm Marx, candidate of the Republican bloc, adherents of the Wei mar coalition, composed of Centirists, Socialists and Democrats. The third candidate was Ernst Thaelmann, Com munist. Van Hindenburg triumphed in his race for the presidency with a plural ity close to $45,000 votes. The unoffi cial final figures are: Von Hinden burg, 14,639,000; Marx, 13,740,000; Thaelmann, 1,789,000. Von Hindenburg comes to the chair once occupied by Friedrich Ebert, who was chosen president by the national assembly at Weimar in February, 1919, and who died in Berlin Febru ary, 1925. i An advance analysis of the vote in dicates* that von Hindenburg scored heavily in East Prussia and other agrarian areas, polling 2,900,000 more votes in these sections than did Dr. Jarres in the March election, while Dr. Marx gained only 500,000 more ‘votes than polled by the three re publican parties on that occasion. J It was the flat country and new 'voters that aided the field marshal to office. ‘ ^ i The streets of Berlin were almost deserted when the final results were made known, an all day drizzling rain having kept the customary election 'crowds indoors. The voting through out Greater Berlin proceeded in an orderly fashion despite the heat of the recent campaign, and the size of the vote recorded throughout Germany is taken as evidence that the mass of the voters had pretty well made up their minds in advance. Among the features were the heavy vote polled by Dr. Marx in the Rhine land and his showing in Bavaria. These advantages, however, were not 1 sufficient to enable him to overcome the defection of the Socialists in Sax- ' ony, where he failed to obtain the party’s former vote. In Schleswig von Hindenburg gained 100,000 new votes, while the People’s bloc succeeded only in holding its vote of March 29. The result vindicates the prediction made by von Hindenburg’s campaign managers, who banked on their ability to mobolize the stay-at-home vote and also on dissenters in the ranks of ih' Democratic and Centre parties. ,The People’s party-suppoited the National ist candidate despite the prediction that Dr* Marx would receive the active support of the Catholic electroate of Bavaria. No matter how the figures are in terpreted the outstanding accomplish- mertt of this election demonstrates the drawing power of von Hindenburg’s mune, which aided so materially in bringing nearly four million more voters to the polls than a month ago and which primarily appealed to the sentiment of German mothers. Opposing this post-war recrudesc ence of a militant nationalist, was a : candidate proposed by a coallition of ’ the three republican parties, which from its conception failed to' suggest I a firmly coordinated political group. ! Dr. Marx failed to enthuse the rank and file of Social-Democracy and kin dled only lukewarm campaign enthus iasm in the ranks of the Democratic party, which became only an unwill- | ing partner in the so-called Weimar groups. i That anti-Catholic feeling also I I MOTHER’S DAY Comes May 10th Remember Her With SADLER-OWENS PHARMACY AT UNION STATION TEL. 400 When you are ready to equip your windows with rods, 4 be sure that you get the famous Stipple- tone rod in single or dou ble.
