Georges CLEMENCEAU - Autograph manuscript, 1914 - Boulangisme
Autograph manuscript titled "Direct descent". (Circa April 18, 1914); 4 numbered pages in-4 on Senate letterhead.
Preparatory article with many redactions, annotations, additions for an article published on April 18, 1914 in "L'Homme Libre".
Political article by Clemenceau which points the finger at the Boulangist coalition of Briand, Millerand and Barthou, which despite some superficial differences, is an anti-Republican triumvirate loyal to Boulangisme of which Briand was a former member. Under cover of a resumption of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, Clemenceau warns the French about this return of Boulangisme: "M. Briand is that we were allowed to compose with Boulangisme the movement of retreat. which he took the initiative and the direction with MM Millerand and Barthou. If we were to limit ourselves only to external manifestations, we would indeed find very sharp dissimilarities. I see, for example, neither Conte de Paris, nor black horse. For a civilian, Longchamp's review is not necessarily a good ground for apothecation. If we stick to this aspect of the case, we would have to admit that Mr. Briand is right. But not a whole program can fit into a feathered hat. There is still a need for a head below, and if we come to meet in the same cap the two heads so different in the departments of M. Briand and General Boulanger, if their designs are expressed by an identity of critics and of "program", how can we not agree that there is a very strong kinship between the two operations? (…) In truth, the Duke of Orleans does not give of his person, as the Conte de Paris did. He is far too busy making us buy his forest. However, all his men, in parliament, entered the press, Mr. Arthur Mayer who says so nicely that his royalism is his luxury, to mark that he practices (...) forgiveness of insults, brings, without lowering the flag his contribution to the triumvirate. Prince Victor continues to demonstrate, as he once did. His effort is above all in literature, and I showed yesterday that his last production testified to a touching agreement on the principle of uncontrolled authority with a notable academician who had just, by chance, conferred with our Poincaré. For the Pope and his parish priests, could they not work for the vicar of the company when they have already been given pledges with Good Friday, as in all matters, à la Barthou, school books, and when tempted them with a resumption of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, enthusiastically recommended by the same Mr. Hanotaux as before. The triumvirate therefore drags in its wake the same disparate but coherent troop as General Boulanger. All the defeated of the Republic, all the representatives of the regimes, the laws, the principles which the French people, by returning to the republican regime, have intended to get rid of. I have already noted that very few Republican parliamentarians had embarked on the adventure (…) The moderates, in memory of May 16, were still reacting. M. Briand, who was General Boulanger's candidate, should therefore not be so indignant that he is still surprised, after a few misfortunes, to reboulangize. Today, all the moderate party approached the reaction to try to return (...) on some of the consequences of the law of separation, and old radicals, by the enticed smell, ran to the cheese . This changes company data in electoral districts, without altering the substance. As there could not be (…) among people coming from all parties, on positive ideas, the common, negative slogan consists of cries and gestures of discontent. General Boulanger was the syndic of the malcontents whose assistance the Republic had not requested to be cast down. Mr. Briand was only going back to his origins, when he pointed out to us in "Le pays" signs of discontent. This "country" there, he knows it, because it is his own making, and as for the manifestations of discontent he himself gave the signal to Périgueux, as President of the Council, by his sharp aggression against the Republican majority. Let him not deny his true tradition which is Boulange boulangissime. That the monarchist "country" is dissatisfied with finding itself in a republic, that can easily be conceived. The agreement of the royalists and the Caesarians is no more surprising than the meeting of the Boulangists and the republicans under the Restoration. That the clerics of Roman absolutism are dissatisfied with a secular republic which imposes on them respect for liberty, this again does not need a thorough explanation. But the "republican countries" of M. Briand, what is it that displeases him so greatly, it does not seem impossible to me to know. [Did you not notice the absence of any discontent, in the "country" of Mr. Briand, when our good fortune wanted this same Mr. Briand to be the holder of power. So France, the true one, the one who chose him as a prophet, was happy. From all sides, fireworks and cries of joy. It was only astragalus. With Mr. Barthou, it was still very good. Mr. Millerand, morose since the Patz de Clain accident, was sulking a little. But M. Briand, not without dreading the personal escapades of his Béarnais, recognized in him the very special features of his policy of "secularism". Universal joy continued unabated without any mixture. M. Bartou touches (…) I see a crisis of "discontent" falling on you, as we had never known since the general with the blond beard. Bad general, explosions of fury, cries of animals. It was the calibunesque outburst of all exasperated passions. Yesterday, we were at the height of the sovereign plebiscite. Today, deep in the depths that your designs are obscure, powers from above! Do not despair, however (...) Mr. Briand, full of strings, offers us, to get out of the situation, to tie ourselves up beforehand (...) because the freedom of our movements hinders the ordinance of the sieur, Mr. Briand, less brutal, supports the pleasant practice of tying around the arms, around the legs, around the neck (…) and we know very quickly to the point of not asking anything more. No resistance (…). No doubt we can discuss the question of whether or not we are in the hole. But General Boulanger did not admit any discussion of the above, of M. Briand no advantage.

The events gave us a very short election period. It will undoubtedly suffice for the Republic to recognize its own. This same Republic that Messrs Boulanger and Briand, in a common voice declared "uninhabitable" and that the sons of the French Revolution will continue to develop for the good of all French people.
