Senatorial elections in the district of Belz resulted in victory for the agrarian candidate, Krupoviatkin, who had been supported by the Jews.
The Cuzist candidate, Novitzki, who organized anti-Jewish disturbances as part of his campaign, failed to win a seat.
The victorious candidate, before his election, addressed a communication to the Jewish Party declaring that he would support all Jewish claims and matters affecting Jewish interests, if elected.
At the same time he promised to act in all Jewish questions in conjunction with the Jewish Parliamentary Club and under all circumstances to support the Jewish viewpoint if not opposed to Democratic principles.
