CLEMENCEAU WINS

FOR FRENCH LEADER.
VOTE CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT
Master of Parliamentary Debate Cites
Years in Which He Had Fought
Oppression.

Paris, France.-The chamber Of
deputies by a decisive majority of 120
after an exciting eight hour debate,
voted confidence in the governments
policy regarding the w~inegrowers'
movement.
Premier Clemenceau's victory was
more decisive than his most ar
dent friends had expected. Dur
ing the session the extreme social
lists put forward speaker after speaker
from the south, but Notwithstanding
their savage attacks they proved no
match for M. Clemenceau. who is a
past grand master in parliamentary
debate.
The premier based his defense
of the governments use of force upon
the ground that the situation in the
south, with two hundred municipal
ties striking and their population re-
fusing to pay taxes, could not be toll
Grated.
With consummate skill he re-
piled to the ~reproaches that he had
become reactionary by recalling the
long years during which he had fought
against oppression and injustice and
by referring to the time when, as of
Montmartre under the commune he
almost sacrificed his life in endeavor-
ing to save French officers from a
mob.
After Clemenceau had conclud-
ed, M. Jaures, the socialist leader, Mt
tempted to turn the tide, but it was
too late to make an impression and by
a succession of votes the cabinet was
sustained.
