M. Loubet The national assembly
met Wednesday afternoon in the con-
gress hall of the royal palace at Yer
saiiles and gave Fallieres 40 votes to
81 for NJ. Doumer, his principal OPP
ponent, ON the first ballot.
The assembly consists nominally of
591 deputies and 800 senators, but
owing to deaths, illness and the pas
sage of some of the deputies to the
senate, leaving their seats vacant, the
making 40S votes necessary to elect a
President. The deepest interest was
manifested in the proceedings, how
ever, which were greatly prolonged.

alphabetical order. Those awaiting
their turn discussed eXcitedly the pros
poets of their favorites.

groups, constituting the famous party
which sustained the Combes ministry.
NJ. Doumer, however, was a formi"-
able opponent, whose election to the
presidency of the chamber of Deputies
last year after breaking away from
his former connection with the famous
party previously referred to gave the
first blow to NJ Combes. The old lib
eral republicans, belonging to the cen
ter, and the conservatives, who then
voted for Nj. Doumer, were inclined to
continue their allegiance.
NJ. Fallieres, who has been presi-
dent of the senate, is a scholar, a jul
rist, a debater of fine talents. a man
of easy manners and a stern Republic
can. The French aristocracy holds
him in high esteem.

positions under various governments.

trate's clerk and is the grandson of a
blacksmith whose forge and cottage
