NICARACUAN JOB
Liberals Become Pro-U. S.
Party, Fighting for Free
Election.
BY MAX STERN
Stan Correspondent. Scripps HOward
Newspapers

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. l.
After chasing to cover SANDING and
his rebel band, Uncle Sam awaits
an even more thanklesS task in
Nicaragua. This is to referee the
election contest next October be-
tween two parties whose leaders and
retainers hate each other with a
transcendent hate bred of centuries
of clan warfare stepped in the blood
of the country's best families.
Brig. Gen. Frank Mccoy is here,
on President Coolidge's nomination,
to supervise the polls and force a
fair election at the point of the
marines bayonets. Since his arrival
a significant change has come over
the country's attitude toward Amer
lean intervention. Today it is the
liberals, instead of the conservatives,
who are supporting Mccoy and
fighting for the Mccoy election law
in Congress.
This law provides that one con-
sentative, one liberal and one ma
rine shall be the judges at each of
the $50 polling places, the Ameri-
can having the deciding vote in
case of a contest. The bill has
passed the Senate, but the conserva-
tives, controlled by Gen. Enliliano
Chamorro, by a vote og "a to ID, de-
feated it in the House.
The people see in an American
controlled, free election their only
hope of victory. They are forget
ting many grievances against Amer
lea in an apparently sincere coop
Grafton. The liberals might even be
called the pro-American party.
They claim at least a go per cent
majority. This claim is borne out
by the result of the marine super
vised city elections here in Novem-
Der when Managua, Corino, Leon
and other cities returned liberal
mayors by big majorities.
