Paris. Dec tI.-It Is the eve of Il
presidential election IN France, and
yet one seldom hears the fact mem

of the Senate aud the Chamber of
Deputies. Even in the halls of legis-
lation there is nothing like the in
tense interest to be found in every
hamlet of the United States preceding
the choice OF chief magistrate
This is due largely 10 the fact that
the president is chosen not by popular
vote, but by the National Assembly,
and that his powers, though arge, are
by no means so great as those of the
President of the United States, while
his influence on legislation and on
public opinion generally is much less.

lean sense. no primaries, no platforms
and no popular discussions. The wish
