New-York tribune., 1920-01-25
Election Was Conceded

Clemenceau is out of politics. He
gave up his seat in the Senate, ex-
pecting to be elected President of
the Republic practically without
opposition. His election was con-
ceded. he was already acclaimed.
The event was so certain that pre-
cautions were unnecessary to insure
against defections among his sup
porters. Who was there with the
audacity to oppose the idol of vic
tory? And his enemies seized upon
this very security to organize his
defeat and elect to the Presidency
N. Paul Deschanel.
Why Deschanel? He is a colorless
Individual, who had gained for him
self the nickname Of perpetual
President Of the Chamber" from
his fondness for holding that rather
spectacular position, which carries
with it a magnificent residence on
the Quai d'Orsay, adjoining Palais
Bourbon; an imposing procession
daily during the sittings of the
Chamber between the ranks Of an
armed guard, with the blare Of
trumpets and a highly decorative
escort; the duty Of wearing full
evening dress at 3 p. M, the han
ding Of dangerous bell and the
right to panegyrize fallen members
of the Chamber. Yet Deschanel
would give this up for the pleasure
Of defeating Clemenceau for the
Presidency, which everybody knows
is an innocuous job.
Looking back over the years, one
sees a possible analogy between
this experience and the time when
Clemenceau was a candidate for
President Of the Chamber.
On that occasion there was among
the deputies a countryman by the
name Of Michou. He was like some
members of Congress in their first
term, desperately democratic. All
refinement was loathsome to him.
He was always crying for the sup
preston of the opera as a useless
drain on the treasury, and it was
reputed of him that he not only
refused to drink water but refused
to use it for any other purpose.
One day during a debate on the
Paris water system the proponent
OF the plan under consideration
remarked that each inhabitant Of
the city required at least sixty litres
Of water a, day, whereupon Michou
rose and exclaimed Indignantly:
What, the Parisians drink, then,
sixty litres of waterw
On this, Clemenceau cried out
from his place:
My dear Michou, l assure you
. there are certain tribes where water
is also used for washing purposes" I"
BY One Vote
Michou and .Clemenceau were
members of tho same party, but
wnen it came to the election for
President of the Chamber Clemen.
eeau was defeated by one vote, and
mat vote was cast by Michou.
NOW, some years ago Clemenceau

Clemenceau, the Idol of Victory,
Goes Down to Defeat in His
Hour of Triumph

Clemenceau was Mayor of Mont
martre during the Commune and as
such had large part in the organi-
zation of the Paris Municipal Guard.
Later, when it was decided to dis
arm the guard, General Lecomte
undertook the task Of getting the
rifles of the Montmartre section of
the guard, and General Clement
Thomas went with him to help him.
Both men were killed. Clemenceau.

heard of the errand of the two gen.
erals and was hurrying. back to
Montmartre when the murders took
place, but because he was Mayor of
Montmartre and because of the lack
of authentic records he was after
ward accused of completely in the
deaths of the generals or, at least
of responsibility because of his off,
cial position and finally was called
before court martial at Versailles.
Clemenceau became so angry at
the insinuations Of one of the wit
nessea Colonel Poussargues, that he
challenged the colonel to a duel and
shot him in the loo
New-York tribune., 1920-01-25
One Wouldn't Fight

BY 1876 his fame as duelist had
so grown that Paul de Cassagnac,
himself famous duelist, refused to
fight him. Clemenceau has de-
scribed this affair as follows:
ut was in March, 1876. Cassa-
gnac and his comrades had been for
some time unusually bitter in their
attacks upon the republicans, and
the climax came when Albert Rogat
printed in the Pays a perfectly out
rageous article. I was writing for
the 'Republique FRANCHISE at the
time. Our staff held council and
decided that we would stand it no
longer. So we drew lots to deter
mine who would be the first to fight
one of our enemies. The first choice
fell upon me, and as Cassagnac was

In manner, in speech, even In
personal appearance he was the
the living antithesis, the critique en-
action of Gambetta, who was then
lending to the reigning clique the
prestige of his powerful rhetoric.
remember seeing them both one
afternoon in the Rue des Reservoirs,
where chance had made them walk
almost on line. The member for
Belleville (Gambetta), in a thick
blue overcoat, which made him even
stouter than he was, was crawling
heavily along, while the representa-
tive of the Butte (Clemenceaul

so did the exuberant beard, the long,
untidy hair falling on the greasy
velvet collar, with the close cropped
head and the mustache la gaul-
oise. The Clemenceau Of the Quar-
tier Latin, the Clemenceau admired
of the Stamford girls, had beautiful
black curls, but the Mayor of Mont
martre had sacrificed his juvenile
locks on the autel de la patrie. lr.
short, Clemenceau looked like
cavalry officer in mufti; Gambetta
was still the bohemian student o.
twenty years standing, the born
speaker Of the brasseries.
"Still more striking was the con-
trast between the two men at the
Tribune. There was something Of
the actor in Gambetta's oratory.
Had he not received lessons Of elo-
cution from Coquelin? He acted his
great speeches while he delivered
them; his arms and the whole of
his body took part in the perform
ance. He was at his best when
stirring the depths Of the soul, and
there were drama and pathos in the
very vibration of his beautiful,
sonorous voice. Clemenceau, on the
contrary, spoke slowly, deliberately,
with his hands in his pockets, calm
and erect, in clear, distinct but
wholly unimpassioned voice, like a
professor demonstrating gcometri-
cal theorem. He did not appeal to
feelings but to reason. His strength
lay in the verbs and the substan-
tives, not in the adjectives, like

A Dull Boy
Speaking since of that time, Glenn
enceau has said that up to the age
of seventeen years he was a dull and
backward scholar and had learned
but little. His principal achieve
ment had been to learn English, in
order to read Robinson Crusoe." !"

Interruptions Dangerous

"Those who tried to disturb and
disconcert him with an interruption
Jared i'll. The trenchant irony of
his instant rebukes on those occa-
sions was even worse dreaded than
Gambetta's furious outbursts, after
which he went on refreshed and
comforted to all appearances by the
little incident. The demonstration
frequently eliminated in some strik-
ing and neat formula, which pre-
sented the whole argument in a nut
shell, and which the listeners, how
ever unwilling, could never erase
from their memories"
In 1907, when Clemenceau at six
ty-six, after forty-fve years of
political struggle, was at last at the
head of the government, William
Morton Fullerton wrote of him:
Evidently this man is the en-
bodiment of will; not Of obstinacy,
but of that quick decision that is
the sign of moral sanity and of an
accurate sense of the real. His ex-
ternal aspect would prove this even
to the chance observer who knew
nothing of his career. His move
ments and gestures are quick, stac-
cato. They are the material ac-
compartment of ideas and impulses
that are to the point. If you were
to meet the Prime Minister of
France in the boulevard to-day you
might take his excellency for Gen.
eral Oku or General Kuroki come
to do Paris. Alexandra Dumas fills

taeking from side to side like q
