SOMETHING ABOUT TIE NRS
PRESIDENT.

NJ. Emile Loubet. who WAS today
elected president of France, has been sue
cessiyely deputy, cabinet minister, pre-
mier and president Of the French Senate.
He was born ON December 81. 1888. at
Marsanns, Department OF the Drome.
which is in the southeastern part OF
France. Having completed the study oil
the law, ana obtained the decree OF doc
tor in law, he settled in Montelimar,
town on the river REone, near his native
village. OF this town in time he became
mayor. M. Loubet's real political career
began in 1876, when be was elected TO the
National Chamber OF Deputies. The
republic, at this time only six years Old
was by no means secure. Bonapartism
was especially threatening. NJ. Loubes
took his seat in the Chamber as a Moder-
ate Rapu biiohn. he was reelected TO the
Chamber In 1877 and again In 1881. In
1885 he was chosen to represent his DE-
partment in the Senate. In the blraru
cabinet, which was in existence but about
three months, from Decembsr IL. 1857
TO April 3, 1888. N. Loubet held the port
folio of minister of public works.
On the fall of the Freycinet ministry
I'm 1892, President Carnot commanded III.
Loubet to form Ia cabinet He succeeded
in his task, taking for himself the pos I
of minister of the interior. NJ Loubet
cabinet took office on February 20. 1879,
and it stood only little more than nine
% of the same year. There were many
Internal events in that year that conspired
20 make the path of the Loubet cabinet
a dif1cult one. A strike of miners at
Carnaux had political side, and in the
course OF the agitation which followed
10, fermented by the Socialists and ex,
trame Radicals, the government succeeded
in making enemies. The cabinet was be
tween two fires The Conservatives ac-
.cused 1t OF laxity in dealing with the
strikers and the Radicals of trucking TO
the employers This gave the critics OF
the, government on both sides oppoItuni-
ties to harass the ministry. There were
Socialist and labor demonstrations
throughout the country. The excitement
was over the labor troubles and the exas
peration of the governments enemies. In
November q bomb was found at the Paris
Office of the Carn,aux Mining company,
whose action had precipitated the trouble
This bomb was taken to the office of the
commissariat of police, where 1t exploded,
killing i've persons.
He was elected president of the French
Senate some year or more ago aud re
elected Cd January ~, last. He belongs
to the Moderate Republican party. Nj.
Loubet was the leading candidate for tbs
Office to which he has been elected. HI
