Fram • (sP) The election of a successor to President Poincaire is now only four months distant yet parliamentary elections to choose mi mbei s ot th> senate and chamber of deputies must first be held as these in joint session at Versailles in January must elect the tenth presi dent of the republic. Results ot the coming election are regarded as more obscure than any situs the fall ot the enipiie This is all tile more true because of the death of one-half million voters in the war, the coming ot age of an equal number of tew voters and the anticipated modifications of party lim - by new issues resulting from tin war and reconstruction. MX hundred deputies anu three 11 hundred senators are to be chosen. No aspirant for any ol tin .-e seat s ! has yet officially declared his can didacy There will be no primaries or local convention.** as in America nut the candidates will be selected by party commit tees with various com .bination ot different patties whose principles are not too widely separ j ated. The socialists are resolved not to combine with any other party but the radicals have* decided to form union ticket.- in some districts with other pur* ly republican organization.**. The wide difference between presi dential rlcr!i<jn- in France and tin* , t nil«*d State- i- illustrated in tin* ‘fact that net*- the president is chos en by parliament while in America the chief executi\e is elected by th** vote of the people for electors. Fon >trary to what opinions abroad might | expect from the French, elections her** arc peaceful when compared to those of America. Finitely n»*w legislative and exe-. cutive machinery is to be selected. Th** order ot this election will be, election <>l municipal and general councils combined, elections of depu i ties and senators, organization of the 1 congress at Versailles to choose a l president, reappointment of the old | cabinet by th* new president and formation ol a new cabinet by the 1 new premier, unless he choses to maintain th* old cabinet in power. Fnder tin* new electoral law the legislative districts have been re duced from 600 to 87 and, instead of voting for a .-ingle deputy as formerly, the electors will vote tol as many deputies as are allotted to any on*- department. The number of these ranges from on*-* to forty four.
