SOCIALISTS’ RULE
FEELING IN GENEVA TOWN HALL CHANGES GENEVA, Dec. 5. M. Leon Nicole’s first act after being sworn in at St. Pierre Cathedral as president of the Geneva Slate Council, which the Socialists captured last month, was to hurry to the Town Hall and make a clean sweep of the higher officials suspected of hostility to the Socialist cause. Others were dismissed or told that they would be dispensed with at the end of the year. M. Nicole completed a nine months sentence in connection with the riots in November of last year. He refused the customary oath of office on the Bible used since Calvin’s time. His attitude has aroused intense feeling against the Socialists and a demonstration is feared.
