Take your choice, you tories and
witch doctors. Get the New Deal
religion or get hell"
Sister Perkins" Sings.
Sister Perkins sang, aided and abet-
ted by the chorus, the following:
"'Tis the New Deal religion,
'Tis the New Deal religion,
'Tis the New Deal religion,
And it's good enough for me.
GLORY. glory, hallelujah.
1T was good for Rexford Tugwell.
1t was good for Raymond Moley.
It's good enough for Astor,
And it's good enough for me.
"Glory, glory, hallelujah.
"It's been sanctifed by Congress,
It's been o. KID by Wallace,
It's been swallowed whole by Rainey,
And it's good enough for me.
GLORY, glory, hallelujah."
The army marched off stage sing
ing their love for N. r. A.
A group including Sockless Jerry
Simpson, Senator PETER of bleeding
Kansas" Gen. Coxey, Coin Harvey,
the remnants of CoXeys army and
others, came in looking for their lost
leader. Their quest of the man who
deprecated the dollar. redistributed
wealth, crucified gold on paper cross
and made criminals of all million
aires and millionaireS of all criminals"
was finally rewarded when picture
that was a composite of William Jen-

Sad Spectacle.

titled others as former members of
the Democratic National Committee.
All, he said, had been compelled to
resign under high moral pressure.
Exclaimed one:
I'VE helped elect Roosevelt Presi-

tooth is an invitation to a White

sorrowfully.

terrupted Shaver. $50 far we've had
nothing but wood ticks down here.
What is ethics, Mr.. Jackson?"
Ethics is a noble sentiment that
reaches its peak in Presidents-be-
tween elections"
Shaking his head, Shaver said:
"This is indeed sad spectacle-the
entire Democratic National Commit
tee compelled to resign its lucrative
connections and depend upon their
legal knowledge for living. Gentle
man, starvation awaits you"
One of the chorus expressed Won
derment at the fall of the great Bob
Jackson and soloist, to the music
of Last Night" sang of voice call

out, Bob Jackson, you're through" !"
A "mocking bird" sang the old, IA

flowers on his political grave.

Amid tropical palms and with the
band playing Take Me Out to the

Lewis-And where, may ask, does
that leave US?
Farley-Right where We were, if
you ask me.
Lewis-And the infield, if I may
