hitting the elephant.
i Why you don't try a drastic kind oi
reform while you're at it and yase for
q complete new deals
What's the matter with Wogan?
/ T he wouldn't make just as good a
mayor as Buck, and heap sight
better one than Behrman?
II it isn't a se1f-evident proposition
that the Rep. ticket is the best in the
field?
+ Who wants better than the best?
-or should be satisfied with any
thing less?
II We didn't tell you Nome Rulers
that at rooster vas a bum bird?
What's going to happen to Honest
Martin Behrmann when Boss Parker
son explodes his categorical questions?
IF there won't be precious little OF
Martin and less of the Honest left
when the Parkerson torpedo lets gos
How much heavier the shower OF
mud with which the democratic con-
testants are bespattering each other is
going TO become?
Whether any candidate on eith er
ticket is going to escape a dirt-bath?
Il it won't soon be apparent even
to the blind that the Republicans have
got the only clean ticket:
Why the Reps. shouldn't get their
dues when the other fellows fall out?
How the governors roundabout
career looks now?
# any founder in the sea is fatter?
Was II the call of conscience or q
call over the phone that called the
Little Times to taW for pitching into
the gubernatorial Boss Of Bosses?
Wasn't it a call from up the river
that called our neighbor down?
Was it the crack of the governors s
lash or only a prod from his staff =
that convinced the half-price official
journal of the error of its way?
If Ephraim Sneed has found his
| wife?
II this mustn't be one Of the most
Important questions before the people,
judging by the amount of space
given to it by our neighbor around
the corner?
If it isn't about time for the afore-
said neighbor to quit butting in on
family fuses?
Why it doesn't designate itself as
''the great family newspaper?
II you went to the circus?
IF you honestly believe that the
local contingent really did see any,
thing of the show?
What the bunch means by their
prodigious tales Of ''looplng the gap''
and Gaping the loop
II they aren t more qualified TO talk on
Tapping the leak''?
Why the police jury tabled the COM
munieation asking for the immediate
appointment of a Bayou Conway drain
age commissioner?
# it is true that the body is sparring
for time?
How long they will have to wait be-
fore the prospective appointee be-
comes a legal resident of the parish?
What kind Of proposition this is,
anyway
IF the fifty eolonists had anything to
do with the case?
Why the gentleman from across the
murch didn't incorporate his reason
for tabling the communication in his
motion to that effect?
IF it was because he didn't think it
would look well in print?
What you're going % do about it?
# you've seen anything OF the COM
missions belonging TO the new school
board?
What's happened to the documents?
Why the anxious holders-eleet don't
advertise for them?
Who told the Diurnal Tempus that
the commissions were in the hands Of
their oWnerss
IF this statement proved much OF a
surprise TO the school board members?
Fl a good motto for the d. r. would
MT be $ All the news that isn't soo?
Il you aren t glad the telephone COM
pany is to be investigated?
Il there is any doubt about the sery-
ice being rotten?
How the company has the nerve to
charge such high rates for such bum
service?
IF you ever got an answer from ex-
change first dash out Of the box?
How many spasms you'd have il
you did:
What gives the local hello-girls the
idea that one goes TO the phone
simply for the purpose of exercising
the right hand?
f it isn't charming to stand up
| against the talk-box for fifteen min
utes and then have someone say
sweetly, aW aitings''?
If you would mind telling exactly
what you think on these occasions?
What would happen II your life de-
depended on getting an answer within
a reasonable length OF time?
H It isn't very likely you'd shuttle
off this mortal coil?
Where the fault 1ies-wish the girls
or with the system?
