Improve each shining hour?
He nits about from state to state
And sings raucous hymn OF hate;
Vehemently he doth crate
With wondrous vocal powr.
He throws q lot Of verbal rocks
At his opponents jaws;
The oppoEition's views he mocks,
OF words he uses nocks and flocks
To tell folks they should vote tor Cox.

How doth the busy candidate

He sits on his front porch in state.
So dignifed and so sedate

Unless for Harding goes your vote.
