French Are Having Hot Election UXITKD PIIKSS I.EARI'.I) WHIH. Paris Jan. 10.- On the ovo of the presidential election at Vei'a.illaise. tlie utmost confusion prevailed when the Republican ' ii-fts" today prepared to resume their ciuicus to chio.-ie a caiiilidato. It was plainly a mm of the pu'itSrlans against the cnmitrj. Newspaper contestants throughout the republic showed Raymond Polncare, premier, to bo n ten to ono favorite, whllo his defeat at tho hands of tho legislators in yesterday's second hnl- lot, showed that the premier's chances In Friday's clectlon wore considerably reduced. "I will continue tho fight," Premier Polncare said In a statement today. If tho peoplo Jiotod, M. Polncnro would be elected by a landslide. To morrow If they are sure of their ground, the politicians plan to "knife" him, but his friends predicted that ho would be elected anyway. The "lefts" caucussod again tills af ternoon. Former Premier Deleave todny was strongly favored as a compromise candidate. It was said that M. Cle menceau and other prominent men fa vored him.

It was customary heretofore to al low one appointment for every two so lons. In 1911, thero were 47 employes, but thero aro 63 now, and more to come probably. Tho added patronugo came to those who'Jolncd tho "unholy alliance," as part of their reward. Tliis necoBBltated, of course, that tho pro gressives should be deprived of all patronage, and they were. In Spokane county, for example, where nine of tho 10 Bolons requested one ccrtnln appointment, it was refused, In order to pay out the reward to Representa tive Stcvena, of that county, who wbb elected as a progressive, but joined tho Taylor machine.
