HOW VOTERS ARE HELPED TO DECIDE. MUSSOLINI’S PERSUASIVE , WAY. ALMOST A CLEAN SWEEP. United Press Association. —By Electric Telegro'oh—Copyright. (Received Mondav, 10.45 p.m.) ROME, March 24. A Gilbertian general election has apparently ended In the Fascists gaining four hundred seats and the anti-Fascists none. The majority for Mussolini is four hundred. Each of the nine million electors , received two ballot papers, one col- . mired white, red and green, and the other plain white. The latter contained the word “no” after the question: “Are You in Favour of the Fascist list of Candidates?” Few voters had the courage to hand in a white paper. An overwhelming majority of the papers returned were coloured, signifying “yes.”—(Australian. Press Association.) “POLLING” FIGUBHB. (Received This Day, 0.30 a.m.) ROME, March 24.
