A few days ago only 2,600 can. didates were in sight, hut the lack to stand for election allowed a tremendous eleventh-hour at such as never occurred before. It is sald that the highest pre- vious number of candidates was 2,987 in 1910. Many of the late entries are without actual political part afliliations. The prospective deputies in the Department of the Seine are astonishing in numbers, On Sunday 39 new candidates went to the Prefecture of the Seine and demanded that their names be in. scribed on the hallot lists, On Mon. day 57 more registered and by noon Tuesday, 40 more had placed themselves on the lists, Near mid- night, when the final hour for de- claring candidacies approached, the number of candidates for Paris alone stood at 850 contesting for only 59 seats or a liberal choice of 15 for each seat. It is estimated that at least 1.- 000 candidates have not the remot- est chance of getting more than 100 or even 50 votes each. It is simp- ly a question of anybody rumning who wants to, and many of these are individuals with grievances. Since no primaries are held in France, their candidacies are pos- sible. It is expected that of the approximately 4,000 candidates only about 200 will be elected when the voting begins next Sunday, as in many districts no candidate will receive the requisite quota of votes, of restrictions upon those desiring Style Na 101 x will give Surprising wear lustrous even of the pure rd oh Style No. 101x will the eye, And the uring service will 4 3s in a heavier I silk to the narrow hem with the Square Heel, Fashioned, $195 MADE IN CANADA the fashion Boys' Two Boys' and Kiddies' lothing for Spring Our Boys' Departments have everything for a smart turn-out.
