that threw into disorder his far-reach-
ing political plans. The opinion of
old parliamentary observers is that the
shooting of Calmette is only an Incl
dent in the rise of the most powerful
politician in France; not the ablest
nor the most winning personality IN
French politics, but the most capable
organizer of the forces of discomfort
and change among that great mass of
the people between the extreme social
lists and the moderate conservatives.
Caillaux is a more gifted organizer
probably than any other politician in
France and employs every resource OF
interest and patronage in maintaining
his voting machine. It appears that
within the last four months nearly one
half of the prefects-the chief civil adj
ministrators Or governors-of the de-
partments of France, have been repIac-
ed by supporters of the ministry. The
projects and deputy-prefects are able
to influence greatly district politics.
NJ. Caillaux's wealth is a subject of
gossip. He said on one occasion that
he had inherited $500, 900 from his faith
er and it is obvious that this sum has
grown, for he is director in various
important institutions, among them
the Egyptian Credit Fonciers of which
he is honorary president, and the Cred
it Foncier of Argentina, of which he is
president He is sometimes spoken of
as worth 50,0OO,000 francs ($1O,0OO,- |
000), but this probably is exaggerated. !
Although a statesman of immense in |
fluence, he is also hated and distrust- |
ed by the conservative and moderate |
republican interests. He is represent
ed by his enemies as a sinister figure, |
one.of the most dangerous men of the
time. Against that is the view of his
supporters that he is a high-minded |
man who has shown himself too adroit
for his adversaries and who have had
therefore recourse TO detraction in an
effort to break him down.
