race for the presidency by
placing the matter of decid-
ing the successful candidate
in the hands of non-partisan tri-
bunal Of honor is seen here as another
indication of the progressiveness Of
that country in abandoning politics
when the will of the people is in
doubt. AS a result of the disputed
election, Arturo Alessandri. prominent
lawyer and statesman, candidate on
the liberal alliance ticket, has been
proclaimed president. The voters of
both parties are said to be contented
with the result and Chile is assured
of another peaceful and eff1ciently
conducted administration.
Outcome of the election was left
in doubt when Senior Alessandri was
found to hold a majority of five votes
in the electoral body. while his OPP
ponent, Barros Borgono. was favored
by the Chilean congress Instead of
reSorting to some of the measures
which have characterized elections
in a number of her sister republics,
Chile adopted the plan. for the second
time in her history. of choosing a tri-
bunal of honor, which investigated the
election from q strictly non-partisan
standpoint, and decided Senior Allie
sandri was elected by majority of
one. The tribunal was chosen at the
suggestion of both parties.
Elections in Chile always have been
regularly conducted, free from vio-
lence and political wrangling. The
result of the last one is considered
interesting here from the effect 1t
may have on elections in other coun-
tries of South America.
There probably will be no changes
in the diplomatic representation from
Chile now in Washington. While
designations usually are rendered i'm
mediately upon a change in the ad-
ministration. as formality. these
designations are rarely accepted by
the president. Such will be the case
this time. it is believed.
