FORMER PREMIER is CHOSEN
RULER or THE REPUBLIC
or FRANCE.
RUMoRED He IS TO FIGHT
NJ. ciemenceau Said to Have Sent
Him challenge-Report Is un-
confirmed-Tumuit Marks
Proceedings.

Paris, F'rance-M. Raymond Poin-
care, Premier, was elected ninth rresi-
dent of the third Republic of France.
to succeed President Armand Fal-
Heres
P0incare was chosen on the second
ballot, amid scenes OF the widest con-
fusion, after he had challenged to a
duel M. Georges Clemenceau, former
Premier, and after second duel chal-'
lenge had been sent by Deputy Maj
zie, q Poincare supporter, to former
Minister Boncour, an adherent of M.
Jules Pans, secretary of agriculture.
Poincare, 483; PANS, 296; valiant
(Socialist), 60. There were several
scattering votes and some not voting.
The total vote of the assembly was
875. Necessary for choice. 437.
There was an unconfrmed rumor in
the Versailles lobbies that Georges
Clemenceau, formerly premier, and
for president, had sent a challenging
lntter to Premier Poincare, and that
tie latter had named his seconds.
There was tremendous excitement at
thu prospect OF a duel, but none OF
those Interested would discuss the
question.
Excelsior said editorially that M.
Briard, minister of justice, and n
Klotz. minister of finance, had de-
manded OF Clemenceau an explana-
ton OF his letter to Poincare, and the
prospects of a duel depend on Cle-
menceau's reply.
Has evident s* the start that
the presidential election, no matter
what the result, seemed likely to en-
tail difficulties. Before the Poincare-
Clemenceau rumor was circulated
Deputy Monsie sent his seconds TO
former Minister Paul BoneOur with a
challenge to fight The incident fol-
lowed a violent discussion between
Monsie and Boncour on the floor of
the assembly hall.
The president of France Is selected
for term of seven years. He is eligi-
Bile for one reelection, but it virtually
is unwritten law that president shall
not succeed himself.
About all he is called upon to do is
to live in a fine palace. TO entertain
and be entertained He appoints the
premier, who really Ia the executive
head Of the government. The premier
selects his own cabinet.
1t was apparent from the temper Of
the crowd at Versailles and on the
boulevard that the demand for Poin-
cares election was growing, and the
firm refusal of the premier to with
draw from the race in the face OF the
enemy added fuel to the flame of his
public favor.
Crowds on the boulevards in the
early morning hours were singing:
"Poincarei Poincare. Poincare!" In
rhyme and some of the shouters were
using the language Of the football
game, words to the effect that the
premier should "buck the center at
the critical stage of the game.

CAN PLACE NAME ON BALLOT.
Ruling of Court Destroys Power Of
Parties.

Jackson.-The opinion of Assistant
Attorney General George H. Ethridge,
holding that an elector has the right to
write the name of a candidate on a
ballot, together with an opinion of the
supreme court touching on the same
point, virtually destroys the powers Of
political executive committees specifying
a time limit in which candidates can get
their names printed on the official bal-
lot.
This ruling by the supreme court and
assistant attorney general means that u
candidate can appear in the field the day
before election if he sees fit to do so.

NEEDING BUY
 EARLY ADVICE
Also the Suggestions of Post office and Express Co. to Get Packages in Early Holiday Activities

Postmaster Cassidy and the large staff he has with him in the handing of Bisbee's big mail business, can give testimony to the fact that Bisbee people read the newspapers and that they are up to the minute in the matter Of taking good advice and ap- plying it. There is no doubt but that duery as to the correctness of the above statement will meet with em- phatic confirmation from the post ofice.
 This for the reason that it has been turdcned the last several days with holiday business, which eacE day is taking on increased proportions. Pack ages of all kinds have been rushed to the office daily since the middle Of last week. They bear the allowed designation of Christmas goods, which the government recently gave permis- sion for in crder that advance busi- ness might be facilitated This gov erHment order said that those mail ing Christmas packages early, ln or der to lessen the usual congestion at the last end of the season. mignt write on their packages, mot to. bs opened until Christmas which abolished a part of the former par cells post regulations, which specified that there must be no writing on packages other than the address.
 Bisbee and Warren district people have not only needed the postoffice suggestions through the Review that they get their Christmas packages in to the postcffice and the express or flee early but they have also heeded the suggestion that they do their shopping early. Every merchant in the city will voueh for this, because holiday trade las set in briskiy and is much ahead in time and volume cf the same period last year Stores are all doing a prime trade in holiday gocds. and have been for week CT mere. The buy early slogan is very much in evidence.
