The presidential electors tieilselves--300 senators and 621 deputes--were electe(I independently of any presidential issue, the eventual candidater being unknown when the members of parliament were chosen. Only occasionally the party groups in! parliament, meet to decide oil candi dates in advance of the convening of th( "national asseibly" or the "con gress or Versaille'," as the electoral body is called, the latter term being apilied because Ihe electors he/d their sesslons in the old chabiher of Ver sailles during the commune in 1871. A inere asuirance by Premier Clem enceaui that Ie will accept the pre;i dency will render a preliminary meit ing u1necessary, in wic event Ohe occaslon will be chiefly social and grastronomilcal.
