...their support, he said. Others had done that and failed. Instead he would ask "republicans of good will," like Briand, to enter his cabinet on their personal responsibility, without impliedly pledging the support of their parties. With this cabinet he would face the Chamber of Deputies and they might unseat or sustain him as they chose. In effect, M. Tardieu slapped down before all France the following cabinet list, virtually defied the Chamber to indicate that they are not good...

Kraushaar, Capitalist Sam Adolph Lewisohn. They gave an aura of respectability to the exhibition which might have amused the little, consumptive painter.
