Ecuador Ex-President
Campaigns From Exile
To Recapture Seat
BY J. r. McEVOY,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BOGOTA, April 8.-Politically-
minded Colombians are in their
glory, They not only have hot
presidential campaign of their own,
but are the recipients of a half
share in Ecuador's.
With President Alfonso Lopez
awaiting only a special session of
the Senate to resign. battle lines
have been drawn in Bogota for a
special election to fill the remaining
two years of his term. Colombia s
election probably will be held in
June, with the actual candidates
still a matter of conjecture. But
several already are at work
Exile Seeks Ecuador Seat.
In addition, one of the candidates
for the presidency of Ecuador. Jose
Maria VelaSCo Ibarra, is perforce
conducting his campaign from Co.
lomblan territory.
Velasco Ibarra, who was forced
out of the presidential chair in
Quito in 1885 after serving a year,
thinks he has a good chance to win
again, although the present admin
istration refuses to permit him to
enter Ecuador to run his campaign
The elderly law professor, who has
spent more of his years since 1896
teaching in Columbia, Argentina
and Chile, is supported by a group
of minor political parties operating
under the name of "Alianza Demo-
cratica."
Velasco Ibarra's opponent is
Miguel Angel Albornoz, President of
the Senate and present Vice Presi-
dent of Ecuador, who served as
acting Chief Executive in 1912 when
President Carlos Arroyo del Rio
travelled to the United States. He,
too, has strong links with this coun-
try, his maternal grandfather having
been Col. Vicente Tabares, one of
the heroes of Colombia's fight for
independence.
Both candidates proclaim their
adherence to the Allied cause, and
there SENS no likelihood of any
change from the presnt pro-demo-
cratic foreign policy of the country
regardless of who is elcted in June.
