to emphasize that we are perfectly

Presidential Campaign Promises to be
Greatest Show on Earth-It Has
Everything But Reason
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

Washington.-This campaign year
of 1882 presents the greatest show on
earth. It has everything. Everything,
that is. except rhyme, reason and
common sense.
The biggest nation in the world, in
the trough of the worst depression in
history, again piles into the two-ring
circus of American politics, with the
assurance that the clowns will be
somewhat funnier. the tightrope walk
erS more numerous and agile, the
bankers more hysterical and the ami
mails nearly all little more moth
eaten and bedraggled.
The Tweedledum party and the
Tweedledee party are about to nomi-
nate candidates for the presidency for
whom there is hardly any enthusi-
asm even within party ranks. At this
date no one has been able to discover
any essential difference between these
parties except that one party has all
the government jobs and the other
party is out to get them or die In the
attempt.
Neither party will nominate its best
man for the presidency. That wouldn't
be good politics. Both. however. will
write platforms designed to please
everybody, which will be promptly for
gotten.
X X X
BOTH FOR PROSPERITY
Fortunately, both parties are posi-.
lively guaranteed to bring back pros
perity. The politicians have beer
bringing it back for nearly three years
and although it's hard task and the
results are not yet apparent, they
have had more experience on the jot
than anyone else.
There is a quaint theory that the
people of the country have something
to do with nominating the two presi.
dental candidates, and 1t is true ir
about the same sense that the people
of New York city have something tt
do with each of Babe Ruth's home
runs. They support the players, vo.
cally and financially.
