BAVARIAN RESULTS
SWING TO THE NAZIS Berlin, Nov. 12. The early returns showed that the polling luid exceeded the most optimistic expectations. In several instanees there were 100 per cent. polls in rural centres, with almost a 100 per cent. "yes" vote, even in centres which were formerly Socialist and Cnmnninist strongholds. Hitherto 85 per cent. has been the highest poll recorded in Germany. In the Bavarian Palatinate wliere the Nazis at the last election secured only 47 per cent. of the votes cast, 99 per cent. voted in favour of the Government's policy. All but 673 of the 77,871 entitled to vote in the Palatinate went to the polls. The eloetoral system provides that one member shall be returned for every 60.000 votes. This prevents a voter expressing preference for a particular candidate. ITerr Hugenberg (the Nationalist leader) and Doctor Albert Hackelsherger (Centre Catholic Party), are almost the only non-Nazi candidates. There were no women on the lists.
