This gentlemen slurs the people's movement of the SFIO which seeks only to better the lot of the common working man through a rightful struggle against those who would seek rule us as the bourgeoisie and the nobility always have!
This is the movement of the minority - the bourgeoisie - for the minority!
We should rise, as a proletarian whole and unite for we have nothing to lose but our chains and everything to gain!
A mass movement for the masses!
True Liberty! True Equality! True Fraternity!

We must all rally around the defense of the Fatherland: Catholics and Republicans united!
Action Libérale Populaire, Liberté pour tous; égalité devant la loi; amélioration du sort des travailleurs.
As french myself i'm bad at translation but it's something like "Freedom for all, equality before the law, improving the lot of workers". Liberalism politically and economically was what France needs at that time, trust me, but we must also help the workers or face the rise of socialism.

Quick poll before I go to bed:
Action Francaise: 8
SFIO: 4
ALP:2
PRD: 2
Radicals: 1
Well, I don't think I have to tell you that the biggest story of this election is the explosive success of Action Francaise - the far right group haveing 8 of 17 votes cast thus far. That means that, together, the fractured Republican parties are still a majority - but only just. The question of whether the French Revolution was a good or bad thing, has most certainly been re-opened here.

Tommy, assuming that somehow Action Francaise was able to do whatever it wanted, who would we see the French crown go to?
PRD
Neither radical parties will do the nation any good!They bring promises of freedom and prosperity,yet their policies would do the exact opposite!
Only the policies of the PRD will lead to the betterment of the nation!
VOTE PRD FOR A BETTER FRANCE!

Alfonso Carlos held the Legitimist claimant to the French throne (under the name Charles XII), unless OP wants to go for a more military style dictatorship in that case Joseph Joffre might make the most sense considering he was a high-ranking officer since the war's outbreak. And before someone suggests Petain, it is worth noting that Petain was retired at this time, and most likely out of the national spotlight.
The SFIO is not a republican party though and it would be one of the two problems regarding a grand anti-AF alliance. Most likely the AF would be able to go it alone, but if it was absolutely necessary the party would try and court the ALP, giving it a majority.Quick poll before I go to bed:

The question of who would be King in the event of an AF victory is an interesting one. The actualy power would go over to Maurras who is the leader and central ideologue of AF. Maurras is an interesting figure, because he does not support the Catholic Church out of any love for it (he isn't even Christian - an agnostic) and neither does he believe in any divine right of kings or other such nonsense. He believes in these ideas as he sees them as useful institutions for building and solidifying the body national in which everyone lives not for themselves (as liberals and socialists do) but for the betterment of the nation.
Throughout his life he had links with the Orleanists and the Orleansit claimaint around this time is actually thought to have some AF sympathies. However the support base AF is going to have will rely on a lot of traditional Legitimists (who had always had a more traditionalist and reactionary base that the Orleanists) who would probably prefer their claimant. But what may well tup the AF towards the Orleanist claimant is this - the Orleanist claimant lives in England, the Legitimist in Austria - one of those countries is likely to be an ally, the other an enemy in the coming war. Above all else Maurras was a nationalist.
As for an anti-AF alliance, it is true that a grand anti-AF force is unlikely, but not because the SFIO is intrinsically anti-Republic, but because the party would be uncomfortable in throwing itself wholly into a bourgeios government (the participation of individual socialists in Radical governments in the past decade had been deeply controversial), epecially with a war coming. Whats more the mainstream Republican parties would be unhappy about allowing the socialists to take a leadership role (they are currently twice almost twice the size of the 3rd party).
We could be in for some serious political deadlock.

The SFIO is divided in two tendencies : a republican side, the stronger, and a revolutionary, the minority His particularity is that he became a pro-war socialist party after the assassination of Jean Jaurès by Raoul Villain.
In the case of a second Restauration, the throne will most likely go to the orleanist branch, whose pretendant was, at the time, Philippe d'Orléans, whose direct ancestor is Louis XIV's brother. The last legitimist before WWII was Henri d'Artois, comte of Chambord and grand-son of Charles X, last king whose ancestor was Louis XIV.
In 1914, There was not any real legitimist pretendant, because of Henri d'Artois death. The only true claiment at the eyes of the AF monarchists was Philippe d'Orléans.

No chance for (another) Napoleonic restoration? Shame
Still, interesting stuff we're seeing here.
