ELECTION FORECASTS
The Sation magazine, while given primarily to
serious analysis and commentary of current events
throughout the world, also avails itself of humorous con
tributions, as the following “predictions” indicate.
The editors of the Nation state that Mr. A1 Graham
the contributor, was sent to interview a group of politi
cal experts on the prospects of the election and that
they wish to make it clear that the opinions are not
their own.
The individuals “interviewed” and their comments
follow:
Senator Consomme: Landon will be defeated by
at least a billion votes. Don’t ask me how I arrived at
this figure. All I know is that if it isn’t a billion these
days, it isn’t a figure.
Congressman Beige: Landon will carry the East,
sweep the West, surprise the South, and give Coney
Island something to think about. You know the old
adage: “As goes Coney Island, so goes Luna Park.”
Congressman Peachy: Home is where the heart
is. Every cloud has a silver lining. As ye sow, so
shall ye reap. Politics makes strange bed-fellows.
Seven come eleven.
E. . Lucid, Statistician: Kansas, with a Republi
can majority of .078 in the last straw vote, will probably
go to Hoover and Dawes,J Missouri, according to the
Literary Digest poll, should elect Funk and Wagnalls.
That leaves Vermont as the only doubtful state, with
000 omitted.
E.. Mayhap, Economists predict a (victory-defeat)
for the (Landon-Roosevelt) forces, with (Knox-Garn
er) winning the Vice-Presidency. Vote for one.
Circean J. Debacle, Radio Commentator: I favor
Landon over Knox, Martin Van Buren over James K.
Prvl.U, and Moon ovor Jvliarni. D-U-L-O-Y-A Iltflliiltun
Watch Time Marches ON.
Ex-Senator Dissonance: The only thing the New
Deal has given us is a game called “What’s This?” By
the way, what’s this?
Ex-Congressman Handies: What this country
needs is a New Deal with teeth in it. Something that
could be sung to the tune of “O Susanna, don’t chew
pine for me; I’m off for Alabama with bicuspids on my
knee.”
Ex-Congressman Grease: Slogans, bah. Songs,
phooey. Mud will win the war. It’s good to the last
sling.—Petersburg Press.
