“You're going to have the time of your life!” So from all this it looks like I am do- ing more picking the Cabinets of my opponents than I am my own, But you just watch those two predictions and see where they come out. Course there can’t but one of them come out, For they both can’t be elected. Now as to my own affairs. T have made a lot of promises, But they were only political promises and I have no idea of keeping any of them. I can promise the best Cabinet of any of them, Henry Ford would be my Secre- tary of the Treasury, He would make us forget that illuminum pays as well as shines, and as for General Motors and Raskob and that gang, we would cut our profit to $300.00 a car and put them right out of business. Say, Ford could take our. little dab of money, that our Treasury has, and let him handle it a little while and he would have us out of the Red by Xmas. And as for my Secretary of State, What's the matter with using Coolidge? He knows everything that a Secretary of State does and I be- lieve a man could get him worth the money. So with Calvin and Henry in there I got the neuclus of a pretty snorty cabinet. You see I am in a position to get the best talent available, For I have no Campaign Manager to take care of. And there are no “president makers” in our party that has to be rewarded. I'm self-made. There is some fellow named “Vox Poppuli” or something like that, I don’t know who he is, But I want him for Post Master General, he writes more letters than anybody. (Watch this space every week for Our Candidate's great speeches.) Anti-Bunk Bulletin Dip you listen-in on the first two Anti- Bunk Radio Rallies? They were broad- cast over the Columbia Chain of twenty- one stations, and, judging from the re- sponse that we have had and the number of requests for Will Rogers campaign but- tons, the country as a whole is solid for Our Candidate. There will be another big rally on Oc- tober 10, announcement of which will appear in Lire next week. In these days, when the air waves are being burdened with the heavy oil of political bunk, it is pleasant to listen to a radio program that inspires laughs instead of yawns, Tere are only five more weeks in which to join the Anti-Bunk Party—only five more weeks in which to identify yo with the great Crusade sai oa Remember, we won't accept any enlist. ments after Election Day, November 6, Address all applications for member. ship or for campaign buttons (or even both) to Rogers Campaign Headquarters, 598 Madison Ave., New York City. FOOLISH QUESTION Man: Don’t come around this week, My wife's people are visiting us. His Bootteccer: And they object to liquor? Man: Not at all. They brought some with them. WEARING KILTS First Scot: Who was that laddie I saw you with last night? Seconp Scot: Hoot mon, that was no laddie, that was my wife. Sometimes, when we despair of poli- ucians, we turn to imagining a govern ment composed of H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw and G. K. Chesterton, and are at once reconciled to the existing or- der. “Why put your bathing suit away? Most likely they won't even be wearing them next year.” comicbooks.com
