The man who used to buy gold
bricks now spends his time total
ing up the straw votes.
The Washington Post refers to the
Indiana Republican platform as a
piece of “umbrageous nebulosity.”
Which isn’t as bad as the Demo
cratic platform of 1916 which, with
its peace plank, was a piece of
“outrageous mendacity.”
Mrs. George Bass, of Chicago, chair
man of the woman’s division of the
Democratic national committee, says:
“Woodrow Wilson brought back from
Europe the first instrument that was
ever penned to prevent wars in the
world.” If Mrs. Bass really believes
that, she bears the name of the
wrong fish.
