On 5 May 1916, Frenchman Marius Tricaud added a small bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley to a postcard that he sent to the Parisian address of \u201chis\u201d representative in parliament, Laurent Bonnevay (d\u00e9put\u00e9 du Rh\u00f4ne<\/em>). What was the purpose of this action and how does it nuance the clientelist quid pro quo <\/em>nature that is said to have characterized exchanges within the French Third \u201cRepublic of comrades\u201d and \u201cRepublic of lawyers\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his capacity as a voter in the second constituency of Villefranche-sur-Sa\u00f4ne in the Rh\u00f4ne-department, Tricaud seems to have experienced a close connection with his parliamentary representative, on which he continued to build throughout his war correspondence. As a young male citizen, Tricaud was drafted into the French army at the Western front during the Great War. On 1 October 1915, he contacted Bonnevay to inform him of how they had managed to win the day against the boches<\/em>. Despite the injury that he had contracted in battle, he was motivated (\u201cburning with desire\u201d) to avenge his less fortunate comrades. The familiar tone of this particular letter (signed: votre petit Poilu<\/em>) gave Bonnevay the opportunity to act betrayed, five months later, when he learned about Tricaud\u2019s desertion. While the man\u2019s first letter had made him proud, the second one disappointed him. In that particular letter, which Tricaud sent from military prison on 6 March 1916, he asked his parliamentary representative to defend him as his lawyer before the court-martial. Although, to a present-day reader, such a question seems completely out of place, it was not uncommon for Bonnevay and his peers with a degree in law to receive requests for legal representation in very personal cases. Indeed, Bonnevay belonged to the 28 to 29 percent of deput\u00e9s<\/em> of the early twentieth century who had successfully completed their legal studies. How \u201cordinary\u201d citizens such as Tricaud mobilized the image of a deputy-lawyer in their letters differs from one d\u00e9put\u00e9<\/em> to the other, depending on how the latter used to present himself towards his constituents and towards his peers in parliament. Still, there was at least one common denominator in the deputies\u2019 responses: as they tried to avoid conflicts of interest, they passed such individual matters onto a befriended lawyer. In doing so with Tricaud\u2019s desertion case, Bonnevay allowed himself to take a step back and reprimand the man instead. By asking: \u201cHow could you have acted like this? Have you deceived me then?\u201d he expressed his fatherly disillusion. He hoped that Tricaud would have the right attitude and ask the court for permission to go back to the warzone to make up for his mistake. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the deputy seemed genuinely interested in the soldier\u2019s fate. A letter from lawyer Falconnet from Lyon shows Bonnevay\u2019s engagement in \u201censuring the defense of the unfortunate Tricaud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

After the trial, the soldier acknowledged the d\u00e9put\u00e9\u2019s<\/em> involvement via a small note of thanks in which he explicitly identified himself and his partner as Votre petit \u00e9lecteur et sa petite fianc\u00e9e<\/em>. Although he indeed belonged to Bonnevay\u2019s electorate, their communication, rather than revealing a mere quid pro quo<\/em> exchange, showed one that was characterized by moral guidance. While, a couple of days later, Tricaud claimed that he was happy to be back in service so that he could redeem himself from the stigma of a coward and deserter, he still hoped to receive letters from the d\u00e9put\u00e9<\/em>, from time to time, as a form of encouragement. He accepted Bonnevay\u2019s fatherly advice, asked him for forgiveness, and thanked him for ensuring his legal representation, which the deputy, in his turn, justified by bringing up Tricaud\u2019s past courage. Under the condition that the soldier would continue to exhibit such good behavior, Bonnevay promised his future support. As a token of his gratitude for the d\u00e9put\u00e9\u2019<\/em>s kindness, Tricaud sent him lilies-of-the-valley from the warzone, hoping that these would bring him luck. The dried flowers have been preserved in good condition, along with Bonnevay\u2019s incoming war correspondence, testifying to the importance the d\u00e9put\u00e9 <\/em>himself too attached to these exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n

Whereas the physical presence of the flowers added an exceptional dimension to the otherwise common practice of writing letters to Third Republican deputies of the Chamber, the negotiated relationship of proximity (between citizen and d\u00e9put\u00e9<\/em>) that the flowers represented was far from unusual. In its extreme form, the letter-writers\u2019 image of their connection could even take sacralized proportions, to the point where their correspondence can be seen as an expression of political religion. Via an analysis of such letters to four individual French representatives in parliament between 1900 and the 1930s, my recent book Ordinary Citizens and the French Third Republic<\/em> seeks to offer new insights into these citizens\u2019 lived experiences with political religion, republicanism and secularization, democratization without full citizenship, and tensions between left and right, governance and representation, clientelism and politicization. In other words, I explore the paradoxes of the French Third Republican regime and how these were (re)imagined by \u201cordinary\u201d men and women facing rapidly succeeding governments, the Great War, the subsequent economic crisis, political scandals, anti-parliamentary sentiments, and changes in electoral laws that nonetheless still denied women the vote. Helping readers to reflect on the nuances of the politicization process, the book is aimed towards those researching French political history and modern European political culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
