The Motor Car Salesman At- tends a Political Convention “GentteMen! Allow me to present to you Mr. Fred Flaherty, who leads the world in actual man-to-man value! He comes from one of the oldest as well as one of the best equipped states in the U.S. A. He is backed by public buildings costing millions of dollars and a progressive communit that is second to none in the highway bonds it has floated in the last three years. He is backed by a written guaranty from our state delega- tion and if he fails to live up to it we will make satisfactory restitution. “Look at this gentleman’s Copenhagen blue complexion; gaze upon the long, flowing streamlines of his athletic body; feel the power course through his body as he flexes his muscles. Step up for a demonstration, gentlemen; don't be shy! Compare him, bone for bone, tooth for tooth, with anything offered in today’s political market, and you can come to but one conclusion, Fred Flaherty leads the world through the economies ac- quired by mass produc—er—er—that is, vote for Flaherty, sign on the dotted line, and make your campaign checks payable to the company, not the salesman Mack Branwade. Journalistic Gradations Wuex Napoleon escaped from Elba, and returned to France, the French news- paper, Le Moniteur, announced the event as follows: First’ announcement, March, 1815— “The monster has escaped from the place of banishment; he has run away from Elba.” Second—"The Corsican dragon has landed at Cape Juan.” Third—"The tiger has shown himself at Gap. The troops are advancing on all sides to arrest his progress. He will con- clude his miserable adventure by becom- ing a wanderer among the mountains; he cannot possibly escape.” Fourth—*The monster has really ad- vanced as far as Grenoble; we know not to what treachery to ascribe it.” Fifth — “The tyrant is actually at Lyons. Fear and terror seized all at his appearance.” Sixth—“The usurper has ventured to approach the capital to within sixty hours’ march.” Seventh—“Bonaparte is advancing by forced marches; but it is impossible he can reach Paris.” Eighth—“Napoleon will arrive under the walls tomorrow.” Ninth—*The Emperor Napoleon is at Fontainebleau.” Tenth—*Yesterday evening His Majes- ty the papeton made his public entry, and arrived at the Tuileries — nothing can exceed the universal joy.” Lyn Blanning.
