...candidate for the Presidency, ex-Premier Paul Painlevé, defeated; le Sénateur Gaston Doumergue elected. His candidate for the Presidency of the Senate, le Sénateur Bienvenu-Martin, defeated; le Sénateur Justin de Selves, Poincaréist, elected. His candidate for the Presidency of the Army Committee of the Chamber of Deputies defeated; le Député Maginot, Minister of War under Poincare, elected. His policy of withdrawing the French Embassy to the Vatican (TiME, June 16) and that of granting amnesty to political exiles and prisoners were met with strong opposition...

In so far as this spirit of conciliation is concerned, the Herriot policies diverge considerably from those...
...past week saw President Millerand, Premier Poincaré and ex-Premiers Briand and Painlevé, and Radical Mayor Edouard Herriot of Lyons rocked together in a conclave cradle. Rumors, like hope, sprang eternal; but nothing definitely important nor importantly definite became known. It was, however, generally assumed that Edouard Herriot will succeed Raymond Poincaré as 70th Premier of the Third Republic...
