A Designing President.

Guatemala City, Guatemala, July p.
Manuel Estrada Cabrea, President of
the republic, has been successful in his
designs, He will be reelected Presis
dent and will practically become dictator
The constitutional convention, called at
his behest and filled with delegates to do
his will, adopted an Amendment to the
constitution of the country making this
possible. The Guatemalan constitution
provided that "The President be elected
for six years and cannot be reelected
until there shall have interviewed at least
one presidential term" The constl-
tutional convention ingeniously amended
this to read "The term of the President,
who shall be elected by popular vote,
shall be for six years" 'thus paving
the way for Cabrera's reelection.
Everyone knows the thing was
cut and dried and it was not DEEM
ed possible that any one would raise a
voice of protest, for such an act meant
certain death. A man of this kind was
found, however, in Efelgo ]. Polanco.
He had risen from Obscurity and his
ability and popularity caused him to be
elected delegate. lie was appointed to
serve on the committee to draft the
change in the constitution. Consterna-
ton and surprise ensued when he in
sisted on making minority report, as
it was known Polanco would dig his
own grave. He made the report how
ever, and exposed the tricks of the adj
ministrotion. As soon as the assembly
adjourned after passing the measures
desired they proceeded to congratulate
the President. Cabredra received them
and as Polanco was on the committee,
he took occasion to say he supposed
the President was already aware Of
his action and position towards
the changes effected and that ht
was ready to stand the consequences Of his act
The President opened wide his arms ano
clasped Polanco to his breast, Spanish style
and told him he honored him above all men
How could Polanco think the peoples friend
