Socialists Break Through in Prussia Diet Elections
June 3 Bertin reports Prussia held Diet elections with Socialist gains, four won in Berlin and suburbs and one in Hanover, marking the first Socialist member.

Chancellor von Bülow and Justice Minister Beseler voted in new voting classes as other ministers did so. Charlottenburg elected Professor von Liszt for Radical Union. Returns show new personnel, with many incumbents re-elected.
