I've relied on President Wilson. Listen
TO what he wrote IN The New Freedom.
(Reads) Let there be light II is neces-
sary to open all the processes Of politics.
They have been too secret too compli-
Gated. too round about; they have con-
sisted too much Of private conferences
and secret understandings.
Enter, "Miss Democracy"
Chairman-Surely YOU got plenty Of
news after that?
Krock-Not much. Listen 10 the order
issued by Secretary Daniels Reads)
THE Secretary of the Navy directs that
all articles and information for the press
be submitted 10 him before being given
out"
Sweet TO the ears Of the hungry Office
seekers were the strains Of La Grando
Duchesse" as. rendered by the numerous
music committee OF the Gridiron club.
Set TO the old score was the stirring tale
entitled THE Axe Of Adlai.'
The slit opened with the entrance OF a
winsome lass. She was introduced as
Miss Democracy" in search Of a quiet
place 10 tend to her knitting" She
thought the White House would afford
me shelter but weddings turn the place
helter-skelter." Attended by chorus of
old friends and poor relations she sings:
once / was quiet and subdued,
Not in the best society,
with great respect now am viewed
a model of propriety.
Asked what Hitting employed her skill,
Miss Democracy replied;
I've lust crocheted lovely tariff bill.

4 civil service examination was held 10
determine the fitness Of the many Demo
cratic applicants for the job OF one lone
Republican postmaster This was greatly
against the will OF the applicants. who
chanted their dissent 20 that famous old
air. "Ah. que Jaime les militaires.
The examination displaced the Republl-
can postmaster, but the process was de-
clared 10 be too slow. wherefore MISS De
mocracy was obliged 20 yield to the gen
eral demand for the one weapon that
fills the bill-the ak that Adlai used with
strength and skill, and the curtain fell
TO this ringing chorus:
Bring forth the cleaver, the cleaver' the
Brjng forth the cleaver, the cleaver Of
our sres, -,
Bring forth the cIeaVef' the ciea'e'' '"'
CleaVeI,
Wen drop 'em and chop en-,
The one way TO stop EN-,
That meets our desires.
Timely and topical ballads, parodes
on men and things in the public eye
lightened the courses OF the dinner. Here
is a verse from Let Them Co:
II Roosevelt yearns for the jungle,
Let hirn 60 let him go, let him CO.
II he could somehow get hunch;
To invite old Huerta down 70 lunch,
If Huerta would go for Visl
Where the Amazon's waters now
Theodore might show,
Huerta where TO 20,
Let him 20, let him 80, let nm go.
