FRENCH ELECTIONS
RECORD NOMINATIONS ALLIANCE OF LEFT PARTIES Paris, April 19 A,record number of candidates, 4807, lias been nominated for the 615 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, which is considered surprising, since .everything points to a straight fight between the Left and the Right. Large numbers of candidates are certain to be eliminated in the first ballot next Sunday. The second ballot follows on May 3. The election will be notable for the alliance of the Left parties, including Communists, Socialists and Radicals, under the title Popular Front, and the decision of these parties to. desist from the second ballot in favour of the member of the alliance who receives the most votes at the first poll.
