Boo-ed out

President Isidro Ayora of Ecuador, as is the general custom of Latin American rulers, last week asked not his Congress, but his Army for an expression of confidence. Minister of War Colonel Carlos Guerrero relayed President Ayora 's query to minions. Officers of the Chimborazo battalion of engineers answered that they would like to revolt. Officers of the Bolivar battalion of artillery said they would like to participate in such a shindig. It was an effective boo. President Ayora ordered Congress convened to consider his "integrity." Congress decided his integrity was none of their business. There upon President Ayora proffered his resignation. Congress, unanimous except for President Manuel Navarro of the Chamber of Deputies, snatched the resignation. Left to preside over Ecuador was Colonel Luis Larrea Alba, newly made Minister of Government.
