FRANCE TO SIMOET
HEAD OF REPUBLIC
Tiger Can i Have Job It Ie Walnts It.
Election to be Quiet. Always Tame
Affiair, It' Will be Nore So Thain
Usurd Next Saturday.
Paris, Jan. 1t.-The election on the
coming Saturday, January 17, of the
president of the French republic, al
ways one of the least exciting func
tions iII the political life of the Coui
try, .will be reduced to its simpLes
form In this instance unless before the
date of the balloting Premier Clemen
coau should decide not to be a "candl
date of which tlere is now no eM
twetation.
In only a fcw nminor details will the
election reseible the choosing of an
American president. Conforming to
custom, there will not, be any party
conveitions. 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.
Tle (ly's Iprograi will begin wVijth
un)chen im the spaious halls of the
anoint palace of the kings of lFranice,
and In tie hotepls of VersailIIs, meni
hers of the cabinet, presidents of Uhe
senate and the chamiber of deputie's
will be guests at speclal hlanIuets-.
The proeceidings of thou congress it
self are very simple. Antonin Dulbost,
presidient of the senate, will call the
a 1)S lage to order at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. After th. senators and
dt. putiles have-taken their seats he
will re-lad the articles of the consti
tution fixing. the imode of electing tle
president and then will declare "tle
national assembly is duly constituted
and the vote for president will take
plac6 at the speaker's stand on nom
ination and roll call."
Excuses from absent, senators or
deputies will be read and organiza
tion of the body will le completed
with tile elcetion by lot. of 38 electors.
One additional iamlle then wilt he
drawn. from the hat to decide where
tile alphabetical roli call Shall begin.

tractive. And this is is especially true of dining room
furniture. We have illustrated a handsome William
