provision of this section of the constitu-
ton, the Liberal presidential electors
met yesterday and elected as president
of the republic for the next five years
Admiral Jorge Montt. The Inaugural
ton ceremonies will take place at the
capital, Santiago de Chill, on December
e..
1t is stated that the election of
Admiral Mont is not only approved by
the entire Liberal party, but that the lead
ing members Of the other parties acqui-
esce in his selection, believing that it
will tend to consolidate the best inter-
ests of the country. 1t is further
believed that with the institution of 8
constitutional government the questions
now at issue between Chill and the
United States will be more calmly dis
cussed and that the outcome will be
satisfactory to both nations.
Admiral Mont was most pro-
nounced opponent Of the late Presi-
dent Balmaceda, and upon the break
ing out of the revolution he took COM
mand of the congressional feet. 1t
was owing in a great measure to his &C
ton that many other naval officers de-
serted Balmaceda and joined the revo-
lutionists. The president-elect is OK
tremely popular with all classes, and
his election is hailed with much salts
faction on all sides.

on the 60-day clause.

bank or are selling their accounts to
