Democrats Protest Against Attitude Toward Numerus Clausus (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Opposition to the rabid anti-Semitic methods in Hungary came to the surface at the pre-election convention which is in session here today. At the convention, delegates from several provincial districts appealed to the government that it nominate members of the government party instead of the Race Purifiers’ candidates. The provincial delegates raised a cry of protest which resulted in tumult in the convention when the Minister of the Interior rejected this demand. The delegates then left the convention hall and assembled before the government building, demanding that their request be granted.
