.POINCARE WINS
PRESIDENCY
French Premier is Elected by
National Assembly.
TWO BALLOTS NECESSARY
New President Challenged Ex-Premier
Clemenceau to Duel Because OF Al
legged Insult.

Premier Raymond POincare was
elected president of the French repub-
lie by the national assembly at Yer
sailles, after he had threatened to
fight duel with Georges Clemenceau
a noted political leader.
The premier went so far as to ap
point Aristide BRAND, minister Of jus
tice, and L. L. KlOtz, the minister o1
finance, as his seconds to arrange a
duel.
The incident between POincare and
Clemenceau arose out of a letter sent
by the former premier to M. Poincare,
the contents of which were considered
offensive by NJ. Poincare. The premier
promptly sent his two seconds to ask
for an explanation.
During the proceedings of the ma
tional assembly NJ. Clemenceau made
a satisfactory explanation to NJ. BRAND
and NJ. Klotz relative to the letter.
The incident is therefore considered
closed.
Deputy A. de Monte and Paul Bon
cour, former minister of labor, also
quarreled in the corridors of the pal
ace of Versailles, as a result of which
NJ. Monzie sent his seconds to NJ. Bon.
cour.
The national assembly met to choose
a successor to Armand FAllieres,
whose term expires Feb. Is.
Poincare was chosen on the second
ballot, amid scenes of the widest con
fusion.
Premier Poincare led Jules Pans
his principal opponent, by more thar
100 votes on the first ballot and was
within six votes of the necessary alb
solute majority for election. The de
tails of the ballot follow:
Raymond Poincare, 429; Jules Pans
327; Marie Edouard Valiant, 63; Pau
Deschanel, IS; Felix Ribet, 16; Leol
Bourgeois, 4 Alexandra Millerand, 3
Alfred Mascurand, 2; Theophile De
casse, 2; Antonin Dubost, 1 Hem

election, 435.
The result of the second ballot was
Raymond Poincare, 4S3 (elected)
Jules Pans, 296; Marie Edouard Val
liant, SO.
Considerable commotion was cause
by a stranger seeking to obtain el
trance into the palace. When he wa
stopped by a gendarme and asked h
business he pulled out a revolver an
shouted: This election should nj
take place" He was at once disarme
and arrested.

AID THE KIDNEYS
Smyrna Sufferers Should Take
No Further Risk.

the agonies of kidney complaint,
backache, urinary disorders, lameness,

in kidney trouble over so years, have
been tested in thousands of cases.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, act now,

DES MONIES WILL
SEND .SUFFRAGISTS
The Election in GrnneII to be Pre-
coded by Vigorous Campaign
for Votes to Women.

Des Moines, Jan 11.-Members of
the Grinnell Commercial club reck-
oned without the woman suffragists
Of Des Moines when they set a date
for municipal election to determine
the desires of the city upon the ques-
ton Of woman suffrage. 1t is prom
Used they will know far more about
the question and woman suffragists
before January 81, the day for the
election. Local equal suffrage leaders
admit that Grinnell at the present
time is without sentiment for women
votes. They believe that the men Of
Grinnell intended to hold the election
and hold the result up to the rest OF
the state as proof that Iowa women
do not desire the ballot.
1--WE are going to Grinnell and Gre
ate sentiment for woman suffrage"
said prominent leader in discussing
the move here today. "In faw days
the campaign will be started and by
the end of the month half of the Grin
nell men and three-fourths of the
Grinnell women will be in favor of
the cause. II it is necessary we will
send the strongest advocates in the
United States to Grinnell, but we are
going to have sentiment for the
movement before the day Of cleo

MOON LAW AGAIN TO
THE SUPREME COURT
Judge TheophiIus Decides Measure
Does Not Apply to Cities OF
Special Charter.

Davenport, Jan. 11.-Judge William
Theophilus in the Scott county dis
trict court has held again that the
Moon law restricting the number of sa-
looms to one for every thousand in
habitants does not apply to special
charter cities of which Davenport is
one.
The matter will again be taken be-
fore the supreme court. The ruling
was made in the cases, of G. M. Bah
bitt against Rudolph Brandt and J. H.
Alger..
This will be second time this same
matter has reached the supreme
court. Judge Theophilus ruled similar
ly in the case against Hugh Corrigan.
Corrigan, however, died while the
case was pending before the supreme
court and it was dismissed for that
reason.
A reversal of the decision would
mean that Davenport could have but
43 saloons instead of over a hundred
which it has now. If the supreme
court does not hold that the Moon law
applies to Davenport, it is understood
the drys will try to get the legislature
to specifically declare that the law does
apply to special charter cities. II
