AUTHORIZED MANUSCRIPT, Direct descent, [circa April 18, 1914]; 4 pages in-4 on the spine of Senate letterheads. Beautiful political article, published in L'Homme libre of April 18, 1914, bringing closer to Boulangism "the movement of retreat" led by former ministers Briand, Millerand and Barthou. Alluding to Barrès and Poincaré, the pope and his priests, and the enticing idea of resuming diplomatic relations with the Vatican, Clemenceau believes that this triumvirate has the same anti-republican troop as Boulanger, and he accuses BRIAND, former candidate of General Boulanger, "the syndic of the discontented", of wanting to "reboulangise".
