MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Dec. 2l.-
DIR. Jose Madriz assumed the presi-
dency OF Nicaragua today. lie was put
forward for the place by Zelaya and
was elected yesterday by the unani-
NOUS vote o. congress. The session
was turbulent but there was unani-
nifty In regard TO the election OF Mad
riz.
He was escorted to the balcony OF
the hotel after the election and, after
the crowd had loudly cheered him.
made a brief speech. urging harmony
and cooperation. He pledged that ha
would uphold the rights OF the citizens,
granting free elections and establish
tng a policy of equal opportunities for
all.
At the Afternoon session congress
accepted the resignation OF Or. Mad
riz as judge of the Central American
court, and Panyiagu Prado was ap-
pointed TO succeed him. The commit
tee which has had the resignation OF
Zelaya in hand then recommended its
acceptance and the formulating OF an
address of thanks 10 Zelaya FOR his
services 10 Nicaragua. Following the
adoption of this report, the election or
the new president was proceeded with.
the nomination of Dr. MadriZ being
greeted with much enthusiasm.
The strength OF his following in the
house was attested by the fact that
on the call for a standing vote every
member rose TO his feet in the afhrma-
tive.
The election OF DR.. Madriz as chief
executive has been expected, for in
fiuential delegates strongly in his
favor have been pouring into Manasua
from Leon, the stronghold or the
lhberals, Chinandega and Granada.
and they came with the avowed pur-
pose of carrying the candidacy OF their
man to victory.
Zelaya still exercises a strong power
here, and, while It has been brought
10 his notice that Madriz is not looked
upon with favor by the government OF
the United States, he still urged Mad
riz to the front as his successor IN
ONCE. On his arrival here, the presi-
ldent-elect said that he had been In
conference with ex-President Car
denas, who is now in Costa Rica, the
header OF the Conservatives and head
OF strong force. which, 1t has been
reported, was ready to carry out an
expedition against Managua.
II is understood that the United
States government will watch events
closely and insist that Madriz make
reparation for the killing OF the two
Americans-Cannon and Groce, and
for other WRONGS charged against the
Zelaya regime.
