"Here comes the boss now," said one of the newspapermen indifferently. It was dark on the station platform with only a few lights shining through the rain. Reporters and photographers who were going along on the U.S. Presidential campaign tour stood around in slickers, talking in small groups. The President climbed on board in silence. There were no greetings. No one said anything. Only a Secret Service man standing on the rear platform, every muscle alert, his head turning this way and that, his eyes darting over the groups of men below as if to ward off any hostility, gave one a sense of excitement.
