ELECTION IN DECEMBER

BITTER FIGHT FORETOLD

CLASH OF IRRECONCILABLES.

(UNITED PRES° ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIQHT.) \ (REUTEITS TELEGRAM.) BERLIN", 21st October. The Reichstag elections have been fixed for 7th December. (SIDNEY SUN CABLE.) (Received 23rd October, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd October. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily News" says the election promises to exhibit unprecedented bitterness, owing to the clash of the irreconcilable Republican and Monarchist standpoints. The Nationalists' election manifesto declares: "The party remains Monarchist. ""Our determination is to create a Germany tree trom the oyerlordship. of Frenchmen, Jews, % Parliamentary coteries, and capitalist control, in which we and our children will be able to stand erect proudly and do our duty." The Junker Press is exceeding its customary violence of language, and talks of abolishing the Republic. Meanwhile the Republicans, consisting of the Socialist, Democrat, and Centre Parties, are eager to accept the Junker challenge, and have organised a national banner league,, consisting of three million men, pledged to the Republic a living reality and to protect Democrat meetings from Junker rowdies..
