Tho papal Inhi bition against going to the polls was re moved In sevent.N-two constituencies, or one-seventh ot tho whole number voting. The tesiilt haa been no snln In Rome, wheie the antl-Clei leal bloc repeated Its vlctoiles of the preceding year, and a fairly slight gain in the mini districts In general, It may be questioned whether the papal non rpedlt has teally kept Catholics out of politics to a very con siderable extent.
