night had almost prostrated him.
There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day. the Monday
preceding election day. One final
meeting was scheduled for Monday
night, and that was all.
1t was perhaps nine o'clock when
he woke up. He was soon bathed and
dressed. He had signaled, as was his
