 for the Presidency)
 'In some Respecks" sez my Paw, q like tn Mexicon way of Conductin' a Presdenshle Campane better'n I do ourn. They aint so much Noise an Red Fire an Malinin of tn opposite Candydates. When tn Aunty Admin istrashun Fackshun gifts too loud President Dize he sez This here noise at l heer sounds like Treeson to me an he sends out tn Army to see if it can't Indoos tn Oppysishun to be more Respeckfle to tn Guverment.
 "'Tell 'em' sez President Dize at all this here Uprore they's Raisin is bound to disturb Bizness if they was any Bizness in Mexico an as tn he'd of tn Guverment I got to keep Order
 "They's a Campane goin' on down there now an President Dize has been forced to run agin fer a Third Term aginst his will. He sez at he'll do it jist wunst more becos its the Unanmous wish of all tn Mexicons ats ever spoke to him about it an he ast Vice President Corrle to run with him fer he sez its a pity to split up tn Ole Ticket.
 "Guvner Raise he sez at he's gittin' tired of his job of Guvner an at he gesses he's Good Vice Presdenshle Lumber hisself. Sez he, I aint got nothin' agin Dize, but I think like Docter Hostler, at when a mans got to be SO yeers of age he ort to be Cloryformed. But I aint after his offs Directly less a majority of tn People wants me. an fun what l can Lern I gess they do.'
 "Guvner Raise he's travelled in tn United Staits an he sez at he's agoin' to InterdoOs Modern Amurri- can methods into tn Campane. He goes about tn state of Noovy Leone maxim Speeches an Hoopin' it up fer Raise an Reform.
 When President Dize heers of tn Racket he sez to Mister Corrle, sez he, Whats all this here Toomult ats goin' on up at Noovy Leone Mister Corrle he sez It sounds like we got Willyum J. O'Brien in our Mist, which is a Clammerin' fer Reform President Dize he sag I'll haf to send a Brigade up to Reconnoiter around some. I'm in faver of Reform my self, but it wont never do to have Reformers a workin' agln each other. They orient to be more'n wun Re- former in tn Country at Wunst'
 He tells tn Generic of tn Brigade to see Guvner Raise an tell him at this here Campane s got to be Conducked more orderly. Sez he. Tell him at he's Splittin' tn Mexicon Party all up into Fackshuns an at he's a yung man yit an kin Afoard to Waite. I aint agoin' to be Pres more at tn outside, but let him know at we got to have, Peece an Harmony in my Declinin' Yeers.'
 "Th' Generic went an in a few Days President Dize got a Tellygraft fun him which sez: Didn't git to see Raise. He left before I got here He's sed to be Canvassin tn Noun tain Precincts where they aint no Voters. I Asoomed tn Responsibility of sendin' word to him at I thought at his Present Plan of Campane, hidin in Caves up in tn Mountains would Reseeve Guverment Aproovle an at you wuddent Keer if he didn't come down till after tn Eleckshun.
 President Dize he tellygrafs back to tn Generic an sez You didn't Exceed your Othority none an you acked Wise an Diskreet. Keep Raise a hittin' tn High Places fer a few weeks more an don't Interfere none with his Campane less he lights somewheres. We cant afoard to Sub jick ourselfs to tn charge of usin' Undoo Infloonce to secoor my Eleckshun to tn Presidency. I'd Ruther Lose Out"
