from the
Democrats Pen


Well, Sir, I hear that Mr.. Nice
of course / mean, Governor Nice-ls
going to ask 70 rthe nice sum OF fiji
ty thousand dollars, to put some nice
new plumbing in that nice house he
is going to put up in for the next
four years.
This, I suppose. chimes in nicely
with his nice declarations Of economy
before that nice little election we had
last November. He was saying NIGH
ty nice things about the way he was
going to balance the budget, and many
nice people, thought he meant 'em;
bht there seems to be nice situation
has arisen about the plumbing in the
Governors mansion, which, paradox
cally, does not look so nice when
thought of in connection with that
Fifty Grand.
Again, he has an idea about some
nice treatment of those nice gentlemen
who compose that nice State Roads
Commission. He thinks they have not
been treated so nice. He thinks there
are more nice men on that Board
than the nice gentleman who boasts
the title Of Chairman 'and wants
'em all to have a nice batch Of State
dough. This is another evidence OF
n$
1 was just wondering what those
nice representatives of the nice
"peepul" are going to think about
these Nice propositions. Are they 60
ing to be real nice and open up the
moneybags to the nice little tune Gov.
Nice is singing? Are they going to
play a nice little accompaniment to
his vocal renditions? Well, there are
some nice Republicans in the Legis-
lature; but hear there are more nice
Democrats and the shedding might
not be so nice for Gov. Nice. I be-
lieve the Assemblymen are disposed
to be nice to him so far as interter-
ence with his official prerogatives is
concerned; but he must be nice too;
be true to his name.
I'll bet he had nice time last We'd
nesday. All those nice soldiers and
bosses; all those nice big Democrats
making a nice escort for him; all that
nice music; all those nice eats-and
drinks; all that nice cheering all that
nice "Kismet'-I think that's what
he called it; all that nice crowd and
everything;-Pll bet he lived thous-
and years in that one day.
Well, hope he'll have real nice
administration. His nice time is COM
ing when some of these nice people
down here on the Sho'-specially these
nice Pocomokians-get after him for
a nice fat job. I see a lot of 'em al
ready walking around in their nice
Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes all ready
to make nice appearance when they
take up their duties. I don't know
whether they have very nice DISPOSE
tons or not. I do know they are
wearing nice smile these days, show
ing they have some nice prospects.
so they think. When they find Gu.
Mr.. Nice has also some nice ideas
about some other nice people; when
these good souls down here find out
they are not the only pebbles on the
beach, I'm afraid some nice DISPOSE
tons will sour, as it We're.
Well, / think l have been pretty
nice about Mr.. Nice in this nice little
column. I don't want to be too nice
or somebody might think I am
"slushy." But I always want to be
nice and agreeable to people in Chirps
and ! hope I have succeeded. Now
I am invited to a nice dinner today
so I'll have to close this nice little dis.
sertation, put on my nice clothes ant
prepare to enjoy the niceties of the
season in that turkey and all the
fixin's. wish I could carry some Of
you nice people along with me, but
I'm not driving my own car today ,ant
therefore cannot offer you a seat
But you have nice things, on your
own table today, 1 am sure, and
hope, as the immortal William said
that GOOD digestion will wait on ap.
