...this committee and I want you men to give me this rule just because it's me." They gave him enough votes, and at last the bill was sent to the House. There Hatton Sumners made a final, vitriolic attack on it. With unfading zeal Mr. Dempsey stuck to his guns. The bill passed, 243-to-122. At week's end the Senate concurred, without debate. The final bill as approved by both Houses limited expenditure by a political party to $3,000,000 in a single year, limited single campaign contributions to, $5,000, prohibited fund-raising...
...votes; General Almazán, 128,574 votes. Impartial observers were unanimous in denouncing this count as unashamedly rigged. Somewhat more modest, but no more dependable, was the opposition claim that General Almazán had carried 150 out of 172 electoral districts.

Fight fans saw a slight improvement on the first: a more aggressive Louis, less befuddled by his ring mate's antics; a more upright Godoy, less bent on self-preservation. For six rounds, iron-jawed, oak-legged Godoy, his left eye dripping blood from a first-round bombardment, stuck close to his adversary, withstood his short-range punches. But, in the seventh, he succumbed. In the eighth, Godoy was knocked down again for a count of eight, and a few seconds later, still charging crazily like a wounded bull, collapsed from exhaustion...
