add to cart   close window

The article discusses the political turmoil in Nicaragua. Colonel Henry L. Stimson, personal representative in Nicaragua of U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, in May 1927, forced the opposing armies in Nicaragua, under threat of further compulsion by the United States marines, to lay down their arms and to accept North American supervision of the coming 1928 election. The form of supervision was not at that time settled, but Brigadier General Frank R. McCoy early in January, 1928, presented the text of an election law drafted in Washington, which would make the American chairman of the Electoral Commission a virtual dictator.
