CHARENTE-MARITIME. LA ROCHELLE May 21, 1869 - "LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS, 2nd Constituency." "Voters, the vote will be held between candidates who want to maintain and consolidate the Empire and those who seek to overthrow it. Mr. BETHMONT is one of them. Appointed Deputy in 1865,... he acted and voted throughout his term of office with the declared and irreconcilable opponents of the Imperial Government... Inhabitants of a department which, one of the first, acclaimed the return of the Napoleons, you certainly did not think you were sending an enemy of the Empire to the Legislative Corps. Better informed this time, you will no longer want to vote for Mr. BETHMONT who has not already been re-elected to either Rochefort City Council or the General Council." - Print La Rochelle, typ. From G. Mareschal. Poster (65 x 46) Status B
