ELECTIONS IN POLAND
GOVERNMENT LOSES HEAVILY IN EXTENDED MUNICIPAL POLLING. REGARDED BY OPPOSITION AS PLEBISCITE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) WARSAW, December 19. Provisional results of the municipal elections in fifty-two towns and cities in which Opposition lists participated show substantial Opposition gains at the expense of the Government national unity camp, which obtained under twenty-five per cent of the votes. In most centres except Warsaw, the antiGovernment majorities were formed by Socialist and Jew combinations, The elections were the first under the new electoral law, which is more democratic. Opposition supporters, who boycotted the Parliamentary elections, now claim that the results of the municipal elections represent a national plebiscite whereby the Government has been defeated.
