PARIS, Dec. IA in about month,
probably on January is, it Is to be
decided who is to l,e the next presi
dent OF France, and although q presi-
Dental campaign here is very tame
affair indeed in comparison With an
American election, it stirs Up consjd
cradle excitement.
As the election approaches the stu.
alton seems to be growing more and
more confused and the number of pos
sIble candidates is almost daily OK
panded.
Only ono candidate, NJ. Leon Bour-
geois, who has been elected a member
OF the French academy. may be con
sidered as having dropped out of this
race and the present favorites are NJ
Raymond Poineare, the present prime
minister; NJ. Antonin Dubose, presi-
dent OF the senate, and NJ. Paul Des-
chanel. president OF the chamber of
deputies. Among others who NAV bavc
q chance are M. Pans, NJ. Jean DupuY,
NJ Delcasse, M. Ribot, M. Doumer, NJ
BRAND, and last, not least, a candidate
who has just come forward into tho
limelight, M, Clemenceau.
Election betting is not common in
france. but II II were, i should judge
that odds would be about three to four
to one in favor Of NJ Poincare, whose
prestige and popularity in France to-
day are enormous, fact which he owes
not only to the frmness and energy
he has displayed in conducting France e
foreign policy, but partially also to
the fact that ne is wide awake TO the
power of the press, No statesman in
France has ever treated journalists with
so much respect and consideration as
NJ. Poincare and he has been just as
conslderate to representatives Of the
papers that oppose him as to politics
friends in the journalistic camp, with
the result that he has totally escaped
the bitter personal attacks of which
French journalists are past masters. M
Poincare regularly receives a number
of journalists and converses with them
on the political questions of the day
in the most frank and open manner,
trusting to their patriotism to treat
as confidential all information on for
eign affairs. which is not intended for
the ears Of the public, and never has
he had anv reason TO regret this.
Should the rumor be confirmed that
NJ. Clemenceau is q candidate for presl-
Dental honors. he is apt TO prove NJ.

the former is undoubtedly considered
the greatest all-around statesman in

Special Cable TO The Tribune
BERLIN, Dec. l4.-The young re-
public Of Portugal, which is by no
means as firmly established as most
people believe, has until now not fall
len very far behind Russia in its
cruel treatment Of the political prison
crs who refuse TO glye up their
loyalty to the royal house Of Bragan-
"a, but the seventies Of the au-
thortIes has not brought successful
results, so lately n large part OF the
moderate press has begun campai gn
against the government. declaring that
the cruel treatment Of political offend
crs is Il national disgrace. and must
cease, That demand is strongly in
dorsed by many prominent Republicans,
In the Limoeiro the largest Of the
old-time prisons IN Lisbon. there are
large numbers Of individuals accused
Of conspiring against the republic, some
of whom have been awaiting trial for
over a year.
In one cell there are close upon
forty prisoners huddled together. with
only proper accommodation for
eighteen. Many are obliged to sleep
on the cold, damp floors. with only n
coarse rug to cover them. Tho food
supplied is generally uneatable and the
occupants of the cells present a heart"
rending and starved appearance. BY
law, political prisoners have the right
OF procuring food and clothes from out
side, but this liberty has been denied
them.
In the Castle Of st. George prison
many Of the prisoners are huddled to-
gether in low underground cells, where
but little air filters in from small up
per windows and when it rains the
cells are drenched and the prisoners
soaked There is, foo, almost total
absence OF the most necessary sanitary
conditions. These conditions are q re-
proach TO nation that claims TO be
civilized. as Portugal does.
Tho government alleges in defense
that the prisons are the same that
served for tho Republican prisoners up-
der the monarchy. While this may
be so, it is n fnct that there was never
such overcrowding. Moreover, the Re
publican prisoners were far better
treated, good food being allowed them,
as we'll as the liberty to procure small
necessary comforts from outside,
Furthermore. for government which
promised reforms and tolerant atti-
tude toward political offenders, the
maintenance of such mediaeval dun
geonS and un just treatment is mex
phcable
The critics of the government de-
mand the end of all these cruelties at
once, and declare that, unless the gov
ernment abolishes them itself, foreign
governments will interfere, which they
would in fact have done some months
ago but for tho outbreak of the Bal
kan war.
