are met the government forces are ready to maintain a neutral attitude toward the Jewish candidates.

These conditions have been declared unacceptable by the Zionists who claim that if they do not nominate candidates in all districts they will arouse tremendous anti-Semitic agitation throughout the country on the part of all those groups who are fighting the government, including the Socialists, peasant groups and Ukrainians. Other Jewish groups, however, are inclined to accept the offer.

Elections prognosticators see the outlook poor for Jewish success no matter what combinations the Jews make. The recent division of election districts gives the Jews, with a few exceptions, little chance of electing their own candidates.

The situation of the Jewish Labor parties, is also critical. The ambition of the Jewish Socialist Party, the Bund, to create a unified ticket of all the minority Socialist parties has little chance of being realized because the Ukrainian and White Russian Socialist parties exert little influence on the masses of voters. The German Socialist party will probably join the German bourgeois parties or the Polish Socialist party. The Bund and the Left and Right Poale Zion, even combined, would be unable to elect their own candidates, even in the large industrial centers.
