POinCare's Keen Wit
Revealed By Writer
, America we'll content with HIM

America well content with him.
SELF
M. Poincare could be just as
good in rough and tumble de-
bate as in long formal speeches.
Rap at ROyalist
Once when he was trying to
shake off the damaging support
of the extreme Right in the
Chamber of Deputies, the royal
ist leader, Don Daubet, embar-
raised him by offering the sup
port of his group. M. Poincare
retorted:
81 like to be kissed but not
smOthered."
The chamber roared.
At the close of one legislative
session, M. Poincare was at
tackled by Deputy Prince Joachim
Murat, descendant Of the Ma
poleonic hero, because the ma
jority voted his cabinet the usual
recess powers. M. Poincare re-
piled:
BE at ease, M. LIE Prince.
at least won't pull off any
coup d'etat."
M. Poincare learned English
when he was past 81 years OF
age, and when your correspon'
dent was his translator in 1921
he insisted upon correcting texts
himself, but he tripped UP regu,
larly on the uses of "Shalr' anc
will"
M. Poincaire had a warm spot
in his heart for American
soldiers. He said:
"Our people of Lorraine know
what they did for them. Our
children loved them"

BY HUDSON HAWLEY

LONDON, Oct. 16 Q.N.SO.
Raymond Poincare, wartime pres
ident of France and five times
premier, who died yesterday in
Paris, was generally regarded as
an ice-cold Northerner from Lor-
raine, with the legalistic mind of
his race and noted for his love
of exact texts and rigid interpre-
tation of them.
But he could often unbend and
display a keen wit and sense of
humor.
In October, 1882, on the eve of
his reelection to the senatorShip
from the Meuse Department, he
received me alone in his house on
the Rue Marbeau in Paris where
he died, and for As minutes dis.
cussed the living and dead rulers
and statesmen he had known dur.
ing his long career.
Mentions U. S. Figures
What stands out from that con.
verSation is his characterization
of the late Theodore Roosevelt.
1t was at the heigth of the
United States Presidential cam
paign and beyond saying he knew
both Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Herbert Hoover in war time, ex-
pressing regard for their ability
and work for the Allies, the
prudent little ex-president did not
tip the scales in favor of either
but he chuckled over Teddy"
He said:
"a great character! He came
to Paris in 1910 and made a
speech at the SOrbOnne, telling
us Frenchmen we should pro.
duce more children.
"Then he went to Berlin for
the German army maneuverS,
exchanged .Ome bitter-sweet
words with the Kaiser and then
went on to London, where he
delivered an address at the
Mansion House criticizing Brit
iSh colonial policy.
| Thereafter he returned to

ELECTION ST|RS.
CALIFORNIA

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Is QN.SO.
CALIFORNIA; hottest gubernatorial
race went into high gear today.
Three weeks hence 2,500,0oO
voters will decide at the polls,
among Upton Sinclair, Frank F..
Merriam and Raymond L. Haight.
Upton Sinclair, former Social
list and Democratic candidate,
running on an END Poverty in
California" platform, and Frank
Merriam, incumbent Republican
governor, are staging neck-and-
neck race, if betting odds are a
criterion. Haight, self-termed
middle of the road" candidate,
may determine the issue by the
number of votes he pulls. He is
not now regarded as probable
winner by the betting fraternity.
Some observers believe he will
draw more votes from Sinclair
than Merriam. They say many
Democrats, disappointed when
Sinclair won their party nomina-
ton, Will turn to Haight rather
than the conservative Republican
nominee.
The latest turn of the cam
paign is the charge that 100000
votes were cast illegally in Los
Angeles in the August 26 pri.
mary. A check made under Re-
publican auspices revealed, it was
charged, that some men who
were dead two years voted" at
the primary.
