THIS is A GREAT YEAR FOR BOLTERS

n camp he is in when he is elected
half the Democrats seem to be 60
iny ever to Hoover and half of
the Republicans seem to be go
iny over to Smith. As there are
more Republicans than Democrats,
the odds seem to he very much i'll
favor of Smith. Gee. what Il bolt
that waS when the great John D.
RaSkOb. head of General Motors,
bolted the Republican party to mall
age the campaign for Smith. l
never have understood that.
'That'S easy" said the Bank
Clerk: al Smith never has de-
pended on Democrats for his cleo
ton. or he never would have been
elected Governor of New York for
one term, let alone four. Al Smith
is the greatest Republican vote get
ter America has ever known. The
mistake that most Democrats make
is to try to fight each other and the
Republicans all at the same time.
Smith never has made that mistake; !;
while the rest of the boys were
uuarreling. Al would be sitting
down with the leaders OF both
parties and lining both of 'em up
for his policies. Two. of his very
best friends and advisers i'll New
York have been Elihu Root and
Charles Evans Hughes. And now
| see he is reaching over into
Illinois for Lowden. If Cal Cool
idge could talk. Id expect to see
him comforting with Cal before the
campaign is over
Its got me all ratified" said the
Soda Jerker. Democrats and
Republicans used to be so different
and so far apart that you could
tell one from the other without max
ing mistake; you always knew
where they were at. To-day the
difference between Democrat and
IL Republican seems to be just about
the difference between Il water
melon and sweet pea
How much difference is that"
asked the Bank Clerk.
About fifteen minutes said the
Soda Jerker.
