S. was well on the way toward reality; he confidently expects to be the Islands' first President; he had kept Senora Quezon in Manila from worrying by entering the hospital under the name of Pedro Lopez; he had tormented the billion-dollar American Telephone & Telegraph Co. by attempting to charge to unaccredited "Pedro Lopez" $300 telephone calls to Senora Quezon. And above all, Urologist Hugh Hampton Young had just removed from the left Quezon ureter a good-sized stone shaped like Senor Quezon's middle initial...

County Clerk, Ellen Wilson McAdoo, 19, pretty, vivacious daughter of California's Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, granddaughter of Woodrow Wilson, filed notice of intention to marry one Rafael Lopez de Onate, 38, occasional cinemactor and native of Manila.

He really began the campaign four years earlier when he assumed active charge of the Liberal Party which had not elected a President in 44 years and was considered Colombia's political mummy.
