The Chamber as a matter of course re- elected by a landslide vote of 50440-50 tall. bold, hot-tempered Ferdinand Buisson, Socialist. Famed for his zesty anecdotes, Deputy Buisson is the political darling of Marseilles (as Premier Herriot is of Lyons). He presides over the Chamber loudly, is fond of bellowing: "You over there!
