PARIS, Sept. 3.-The country was in
state of excitement today over the
second ballots which were taken for
members of the chamber of deputies.
The campaign, which has been under
way for two weeks, has become more
active. and has resulted in additional
violence with each succeeding day.
The day the first ballots were
taken was marked with numerous
clashings of opposing crowds, and all
sorts of election dodgers were resorted
to In order to win over voters. In
this city the excitement eliminated
this evening when dense crowds assem-
bled in the bOulevardS and in front of
the newspaper Offices to learn the re-
suits of the voting. The throDgs we're
i'll bOlsterouS mood, and there were
disorderiy scenes al various points,
which the police promptly suppressed
and scattered the participants. There
were 164 second ballots to be taken.
The returns began to come in at Z
O'clock In the evening. Among the first
NEWS was that Of the
DEFEAT OF NJ. FLoQUET,
formerly president of the chamber Of
deputies. NJ. Faberot, a Socialist. being
elected in his district by vote of -4.399
against 1927 for NJ. Floquet. NJ. Floquet
Waged more active campaign than his
opponent did, but the mixture of his
name with the Panama canal scandals
proved an effective force to defeat him.
He had also to contend with opponents
who resorted to the most violent
and INSCRIPTIONS methods to beat
him. They broke up his meet
iags. smashed the chairs, and
tables in the meeting halls and put out
the Zig hts. a few days ago crowd
peited Nj. Floquet with stones as he
was leaving meeting hall, and when
he fed some one fired revolver at him.
At II O'Clock intense excitement was
caiIsed by the news that the defeat of
Nj. Clemenceau, i'll whose campaign In-
terest has chiefly conferred, was assured,
the returns showing 9,440 votes for M.
JOudan and s, ,4S0 for Clemenceau. The
campaign in NJ. Clemenceau's district
was of the liveliest character. and was
carried on with much
BITTERNESS OF FEELING.
Everything was done by the parties
for each candidate to obstruct the efforts
Of the opposing party. NJ. Ciemenceau's
following effectuaily blocked road so
that NJ. J0urdan, who was going from
QUE village to another to attend meet
lag, could not proceed. LIN their
speeches the candidates indulged
freely in personalities, each ac-
cusing the other of all kinds of
bribery and corruption. Nj. Jourdan
issued au address OIL Friday in which he
said that should Clemenceau triumph
the English will rejoice, but that Russia
will ask if there are any patriots left IN
France. In the department of war M.
Goblet is elected by vote of 9,O52
against vote of 1852 for NJ. Murzeta.
M. Lagerre, Boulangist. was defeated
by M. Chauviere. Socialist. AS mid
night approached the people in
the streets became more demon.
strative. and excited groups of men
marched about, cheering for their favor
te candidates and singing popu-
lar songs. Around II O'Clock the
police stopped traffic or certain of the
streets and boulevards. AS each result
was shown on the transparencies in
front of the newspaper offices there
were rival demonstrations by sections of
the crowd. NJ. Floquet's defeat was re-
ceived with cheers by thousands. 1t
was mldnight when the announces
ment of
CLEMENCEAU'S CERTAIN DEFEAT
was received. and the news increased
the excitement of the multitude. The
returns then showed that S5 Republic
ans, 9 Conservatives and Rallied Right
candidates had been elected, indicating
gain for the Republicans of ten seats.
NJ. CIemenceau was defeated by $50
votes. NJ. Paul Cassagnac is another
prominent man who has been re-
Heyed, he having been defeated
at Mirande by Bascem, Republican.
M. Naquet, Republican, has been re-
elected. At a. m. results from 152
districts had been received. They
showed that 1872 Republicans, 9 Con-
seryatives and IL Rallied Right candi-
dates had been elected. Reports are
coming in of conflicts between the fol-
lowers of defeated and successful can
didates. At Montmortre the friends of
NJ. Levy. Socialist, who was elected,
made a demonstration in front
of the house of NJ. Hol-
stein, the defeated Republican
candidate. A hand-to-hand conflict
between the followers of the two candi-
dates took place. One of the most no.
table features of today's ballots is the
crushing defeat of NJ. FloQuet. which is
almost entirely to his meddling
J.Ielaissssthe Panama canal 'Pueffing" fund.
Tfio' elections in the department of the
Seine have resulted in signal victory
for the Socialists, who will send twenty
one members TO the next session of the
chamber of deputies. The election of
M. Goblet will necessitate the resigna-
stiOn of his seat in the senate. The de-
feat of NJ. Passy in Paris is much re-
tgretted. NJ. Passy is one of the leading
Iexponents in France of free trade and
international arbitration.
