The study concludes with a database of the students from Somogy who attended the Royal Academy of Law in Győr, which has been compiled by the author with the help of annuals dating from the above mentioned years. László Szántó: Parliamentary Elections in Somogy under Prime Minister Kálmán Tisza, 1875-1890 The study is a continuation of the publication about elections history from last year's annual. Kálmán Tisza played a determining role in the formation of the political aspect of the dualist system. He used all means he had as a prime minister and a minister of home affairs to achieve favorable elections results for the governement. The study describes the history of events in Somogy during the parliamentary elections in this period, as well as the general and local characteristics of the election process. The main results of the research can be summerized in three points listed below: The majority of the voters in Somogy still supported the opposition parties, that is the independent and moderately conservative parties. Among the power elite of the county, however, the opposition and the liberal governing parties had about the same influence. As a result of this, the governement employed to a greater extent all the legitimate and not so legitimate methods in order to improve its local position. The 1887 election was prominent in this respect, when corruption, the use of the security police and election fraud were so significant in the course of the struggle for votes in Kaposvár that the opposition launched a country-wide parliamentary scandal because of the events. During the 1880 elections the anti-semite political movement temporarily grew stronger in some areas of the country, also in Somogy. The main underlying reason was that in Somogy too, the financial and economical role of the Jewish population was getting more and more influential and this way it was easy to turn the unsatisfied small peasantry - in debt because of the significance of the large estates - and lower middle class against them. Balázs Récsei: The Regulation of Prostitution in Somogy in the Second Part of the Dualism The study is a continuation of the study published in the 1999 annual. In the study we can follow the re-structuring of the prostitution supply market. Furthermore, we get an insight into the contemporary opinion about white slavery and veneral diseases. We can read about the birth of the first legislation regulating prostitution in Kaposvár and the renewal of the prostitution regulation of the county. The author also mentions the relocation of the brothels banned from the Main Street, the development of the „red light district" in Vár street. Using official statistical data we get a view of the „free sexual life" of Kaposvár in 1915 -with comparison to the rest of the country. An attachment to the study is the source publication of the prostitution statute of Kaposvár dated the beginning of the 20th century, as well as a re-publication of Emil Schreiber's data from 1915, where he gives a listing of the number of registered brothels and prostitutes city by city.
