 New York, Sept. 9.-What this campaign doesn't need most is few more animals.
 Both parties arleady have drawn heavily from among our four-footed and fine-feathered friends for their propaganda. If you pause momnet to consider the menagerie which they have assembled for us, you will find that, with the exception of one or two items, such as the laughing hyena, all the bird1eS and beasts are there.
 He P. T. Barnum were alive, one could imagine the old snowman promoting a mammoth parade of these political animals up or down fifth avenue, led by an elephant and donkey.
 He might have republican Chairman John D. M. Hamilton astride the elephant and Demo- cratic Chairman Jim Farley atop the donkey-if the donkey were big and husky enough.
 Then, by rights, should come the pstx million little pigs"-or was 1t three million?-because they were the first quadrupeds to enter the campaign. They are still in 1t, de- spite few tons of stasticis and eco- homie data which Secretary Wal lace has on hand to prove that their slaughter three years ago was jus- tined, even if the price of pork is going up ct this time.
 And MT. Pottle's Pig, Too
 These little pigs can't appear, however. They're dead, without even having gone to market. But so many republican tears have been shed over them that for parade pur- poses 1t probably would be easy to collect 6 memorial fund for large monument which could be mounted pa4a float.
 Our parade, however, need not march pigless. The pigs of Ed Pot Gle up in Passport, Me, immediately leap to mind.
 These are the porkers which we're reported to be eating 800 uias a day at government expense hccause the army had contracted for Che pies to feed Passamaquod' dix workers who were no longer there to feed.
 Ynquiry developed that there hAa never been any such pies at PussamaQuoddy raised serious tlo:,ht as tO whether Ed Pottle ever haa any pigs, and even left vague malsKivlnEs as to whether there was any such person as Ed POttle.
 But those are mere details. Al. tef all, pigs Is pigs.
 The dogs in the $26,0o0 WPA Moss pound at Memphis were early anff4es in the campaign. Col. FrAnk Knox and the citizens of Memphis still have an argument as to whether these dogs are wkShed in marble hover baths. Tor parade purposes they unques- 1ionably should be accompanied hys Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee, shouting to the world about all the people bitten by dogs an Memphis before that pound was butt.
 TfDt Out That Skull
 Somewhere in the line of march should appear that now celebrated eo~ skull which the Resettlement HaFainistration has been using in lfs brotographs of drouth country.
 This skull, according to repub- 4ican publicity, has been carted arnhnd the Dust Bowl area and nlanted every time the RA pho- fnkfapher wanted to take a pie fnr3. although the photographer ansists he found 1t and took a lot of pictures in the same area, neuer moving the skull more than 90 feet or SO.
 Whether the skull should be enTried in the parade by the pho- 48&rapher or should be mounted 0 pedestal on float Is hard to decide.
 Farmer George Mays of Arcadia, N&b.. and his six cows must also ha given a place of honor, since &fsey are understood to have been esnnsoyed by Che Republican Na. tIenaI Committee.
 Ihe 6. Q. ?. publicists heard zNzE WPA had built a s2o.0o0 Aldswalk system in Arcadia which ~aA used only by COWS, and sent &H<1ha-movie photographers there 80E pictures. No COWS being found H1s the sidewalk, but only people, the movie men are said to have paid N&Aes a2B to drive his cows along <ll1 sidewalk and also paid him . HnI'ar a minute to make c sound- EltRie speech about 1t.
 Hhe town marshal, noticing the AnNs On the sidewalk, ordered the 1.EHlo men out of town.
