The Chargé in Nicaragua (Munro) to the Secretary of State

Managua, January 13, 1928—9 a.m.
[Received 12:10 p.m.]

23. Antonio Medrano, one of the substitute judges of the Supreme Court, has been selected as the Liberal Vice Presidential candidate on the ticket with Moncada.3 His friends have asked me to ascertain whether the Department sees any reason to question the constitutionality of his election. Apparently article 1264 is the only one which could possibly bear on the question.
