For Provisional President they picked soft-spoken Angel Morales, 50, Dominican Minister to Washington in the days before Rafael Leonidas Trujillo seized power. Their "army," which now included half the University of Havana football squad, drilled with bazookas, flamethrowers and machetes.

One, Rafael Espaillat, has spent the campaign digging in the garden of his little farm outside Ciudad Trujillo. The other, Francisco Plats Ramirez, recently signed a routine resolution of praise for the Benefactor. ("A typist's error," he explains.) Neither man has made a campaign speech...
