The spring campaign is in the land,
And to the music Of the band

And eloquence
If not intense
And lofty plans to set things right
That now are something Of a sight.
Some patriots have heard the call.
And they proceed to hire a hall
To make it clear
To who'll give ear
That they possess the only plan
To aid and cheer their fellow man.
But any person bright may guess
Just why it Is their case they press.
They hear the chink
And softly think
They wouldn't mind a chance to draw
The salary that's fixed by law.
But do they state it frank as that2
They do not, you can bet q hat.
They twist and turn
And plead concern
For honest men who pay the tax
And bear the burden IN their backs.
But up their sleeve,

They have a joker tucked away
To use If they should win the day.
But now with skill they plead the case,
And not a smile is on their face.
They promise long
And loud and strong,

Have promised with a hand appraised
