The Independent Moakley had staged his fight in one of the most traditionally Democratic districts on the map, and he was forced to spend much of his time convincing the voters of his Democratic loyalty.

At present he is monitoring the movements of at least six ships headed for Europe, loaded with El Teniente metal; when they...
