Panama election panic over marines guarding polls debunked
United States marines were not sent to Panama to guard elections. Secretary Taft ordered 180 marines to the isthmus to replace term expirations, with 90 sailings on June and another 90 on June 16. No ammunition or special equipment accompanies them. The move aims to maintain order during canal construction and support a fair vote between Liberals and Conservatives.
