HUMOUR IN SPAIN
DE RIVERA'S PLEBISCITE
PEOPLE VOTE HARD AND VOTE OFTEN
POLL LIKELY TO EXCEED POPULATION.
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 17th September, 1 p.m.) MADT.ID, 10th September. The threo days'plebiscite was marked with perfect good humour. Tho supporters of the Directory frequenting cafes, talked noisily and emphatically of the importance of success. Their opponents wore naturally less expansive, but did not refrain from jokes about the plebiscite, in which only Government supporters participated. Voting lists were not only available at voting stations, but were displayed in business houses, shops, hotols, dancing halls, cabarets, and night clubs, where signatures could be appended until 4 in the morning. Many persons of both sexes made a round of the clubs recording approval of < the Dictator eight or nine times during the night. Other supporters signed at clubs, banks, cafes, besides official booths. It will not be surprising if the total votes at Madrid exceeds the inhabitants.
