With the prestige of Poincaré assuring support from the Right, M. Briand turned to his confrere and rival of the Left, M. Edouard Herriot, for 21 years Mayor of Lyons, President of the Chamber of Deputies, leader of the Coalition of Left Parties, ousted from the Premiership (TIME, April 13, 20, 1925) when it was rumored that he had connived at juggling the accounts of the Finance Ministry to conceal inflation of the franc...
