This Government May Protect Mica
raguanS eng Enough t. Have
Honest Election of President

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-One of
the projects for solution in the Mica
raguan situation that has been
strongly urged upon the state depart
ment is the establishment Of a pro-
tectorate either singly by the United
states or jointly with Mexico.
This may be regarded as necessary
in the event the insurgents fail to
displace Zelaya by their own efforts
and it may follow an insurgent tri-
umph would leave the country with
out responsible leaders
There is reason to believe that a
forward movement will be adopted
by the government, perhaps as soon
as a sufficient number of marines
have been gathered or the Nicara-
guar coast.
Riots Frequent.
Today's news from sianagua is in
dicating immense rioting beyond the
ability of the local government forces
to suppress and might serve as basis
for landing the marines and their dis
patch to Managua if necessary to
maintain order, just as was done in
the isthmus of Panama a few years
ago.

Nicaragua, but only long enough to
permit fair and free general cleo

tional obligations.
Statement From DiaZ.
Governor Creel, who recently ar
rived in Washington, had an inter-
view with Secretary Knox this after
noon. He presented a statement
from President Diaz containing his
views of the Nicaraguan situation. At
the state department it was an
nounced that no statement could be
made with respect to the Mexican
note for the present. The state de-
partment has positive information
that Zelaya and his friends have en-
joyed a monopoly of vastly remuner-
ative resources. in spite of the con-
sttution of Nicara qua which specific
ally ordains there shall be no mo-

City Clerk BROKER is registering
voters at the rate of something in

when the books close on Saturday
night North Yakima will have the
largest voting registration in her his

office open for an hour, or perhaps a
little longer on Thursday evening to
permit of the registration of those
unable to get there during the regular
