IRISH ELECTIONS.
Local Government Poll on June* 26. CRISIS APPROACHING. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April 10, 12.30 p.m.) DUBLIN, April 9. Apparently events in the Free State are moving towards a crisis. Mr de Valera, after many postponements, has decided finally to hold the local Government elections on June 26, enabling the testing of the electorate as polled on the register of ratepayers. This will exclude large numbers of the Government’s youthful supporters and therefore an accurate index to the feeling of the more responsible sections of the community will be obtained. Mr Cosgrave’s organisation is definitely challenging Mr de Valera’s intention to capture the local authorities for party purposes.
