Many wellknown leaders of the anti-Semitic movement in Roumania, among them being some who have been identified with active anti-Jewish violence, will run as candidates in the forthcoming parliamentary election.
Two hundred candidates, members of the Cuza party, will run. The list, headed by Prof. Alexander Cuza, includes Bacaloglu, who in 1923, made an attempt on the life of Rosenthal, the Jewish editor of the newspaper "Adeverul," Zelea Codreanu who murdered the Jassy Chief of Police, and Manciu. The list also includes the students Sirbu, Popescu and Girneatzu, who made an attempt on the life of the former Prime Minister Bratianu.
The United Socialist Parties have made up an independent list of candidates which includes three Jews- Dr. Leon Gelehrter, leader of the Roumanian Jews, Mr. Pistiner, former member of the Roumanian Parliament and Ilie Moscowitz, editor of the newspaper "Socialismul."
