FALLIERES ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
President of Senate Won Over
Opponents.
GREAT lSTREST MANIFESTED
Fallieres Had the Support of the Ad.
Vanced Socialist and Radical Groups
Constituting Famous Party which
Sustained Comhes' Ministry.

Paris, Jan. 17.-Tne national assem-.
bly met at o'clock this afternoon in
the congress hall Of the Royal Palace
at Versailles for the selection of a
president of the republic.
The assembly consisted nominally
OF 69l deputies and 800 senators, but
owing to deaths, illness and tine pass.
age OF some Of the deputies to the SEN
ale, leaving their seats vacant, the
Number present was decreased to about
$780,, making 430 votes necessary to
elect new president.
The greatest interest was manifest
ed in the proceedings, which, however,
were very prolonged. The members
OF the assembly voted in alphabetical
order. Those waiting their turn dis
cussed excitedly the prospects of their
favorltes. Although several candidates
We're mentioned for the presidency in
succession to NJ. Loubet, including
M. Fallieres, president OF the SEN
ate, M. Doumer. president OF the
chambers Of deputies, NJ. Sarrion, for
mer minister of justice, and NJ. Leon
Bourgeois, the former premier, the real
contest was between NJ. FaIlieres and
Doumer.
M. Fallieres had the support of tae
advanced Socialist and Radical groups,
constituting the famous party which
sustained the Combes ministry. M.
Doumer, however, was a formidable
opponent, whose election to the presi-
dency of the chamber of deputies last
year, after breaking away from ais for
ner connection with the famous party
previously referred to, gave the first
blow to NJ. Combes The old Liberal
Republicans belonging to the Conser-
vatiVes, who were for M. Doumer,
seemed inclined to continue their al
legiance.
There was no occasion of a surprise
in the shape of candidate appearing
at the last moment, and upsetting all
the plans made, as was the case when
the late Sadi Carnot was elected pres
id'ent ON the second ballot, securing
an unexpected majority over the then
favorite, the late NJ. Ferry. A double
ballot also occurred when the late Fe-
lix Faure defeated M. Erisson, the
former premier.
M. Fallieres was elected on the first
ballot. The vote was as follows:
M. Fa.ieres, 449; NJ. Doumer, 81.
