...boiling oil of Mexican politics made the political cauldron crackle and hiss. President Cárdenas' dominant Party of the Mexican Revolution sent its chief a long telegram urging him to stand by his guns, organized demonstrations in all of Mexico's 28 States.

Nominee is a bird by the name of Mert Curtis, who used to sing for Russ Morgan. . . .
