Jaurčs, (Auguste Marie Joseph) Jean 1859-1914
French Socialist leader, writer and orator
Born in Castres, Tarn, he was a deputy from 1885 to 1889, lectured on philosophy at Toulouse and became a deputy again from 1893. He founded the French Socialist Party, and in 1904 co-founded the Socialist paper L'Humanité, which he edited until his death. An advocate of Franco-German rapprochement in the crisis that followed the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Jaurčs was himself assassinated in July 1914 by a fanatical French patriot.
