G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Retiring president, presided
at the dinner.
some of the Senators first as a pre-
caution, but Nicholson warned him
not to let the Southern insurgents
hear that.
Mccarthy replied, Il know how
they feel about the New Deal. It's
long, sad story from Appo-
mattox to apoplexy."
Mccarthy feared to be Senator
Glass because IF got as burned
up as Carter does, dad bum it, I'd
be chahcoal after my first broad
cast"
O'Mahoney's Journey.
Mccarthy baked at initiating Sen
ator O'Mahoney of Wyoming: Even
the stepson of buzzsaw would
crank If he rode all the way from
Chicago to Cheyenne to get forgive
ness from a great white father and
then had to pay for his own break
fast"
Mccarthy professed an acquaint-
ance with Vice President Garner,
whom Mr. Nicholson described as
"the good right arm Of. the Presi-
dent"
Mccarthy said: Then it must be
his left hook that worries the White
House. Nicholson"
Nicholson said that Mccarthy was
hired and walked of the stage, but
the little dummy kept right on talking
and muttering about his new lob.
Nicholson came back and said, The
act is over; you're not supposed to
talk to yourself"
Mccarthy walled: How can I
quit talking, Nicholson, when I'm a
flock of Senators?"
A mysterious and deep, dark scene
was next presented, showing Ku
Klux Klavern with the cast attired
in masks and hoods Several coils
Of rope lay conveniently near. An
announcer said that one of its most
distinguished members was returning
from the North to report the doings
there to this special meeting of a
famous fraternal organization in Bir-
mingham, Ala.
The wizard announced that one
Of their members had come into ma
tional prominence and his name was
on the lips Of the world. A kleagle
interjected. There in the Far North,
on the other side of the Potomac,
the opinions Of our fellow klansmen
are held in high respect. You'd be
surprised"
"A Klavern IN the Town."
The wizard declared that q COM
munication from him had Just been
received, the stamp on it saying 1898
US 357." Imperial Kink was asked
to read 1t and this song follows:
There is q Kavern In the town,
In the town.
And there some Baptist let me down,
Let me down.
And on my breast he pinned q little
note:
Explain, when you get of the boat!'
Fare thee well, for mdst leave thee,
Do not let the parting grieve thee,
Oh, the time has come for you and
me to say good-by.'"
The wizard, to the horror Of the
members, said that "the astounding
revelations Of our absent Kolleague
has made him a second Einstein."
The wizard went on: LAS we all
know, since becoming famous, our
friend dropped the Klan. He aban-
doned it. He completely discontinued
any association. He has never re-
sumed it and never expects to do 50"
At this point the absent member ar
rived amid greetings of "Oyez, Oyez,
Oyez." He sang this song:
Round de meadows am a-ringin',
De darkeys' joyful song,.
AL dem Catholics Is singing,
Happy as de day is long.
Now dem Jewish folks is sleepin',
Sleep, without . sound!
Where de Klan was once a-creepin',
Creepin' DER de cold, cold ground.
Down in de cornf1eld,
Hear dat mournful sound,
All de Klansmen sm a-weepin',
Cause ma passports in de cold, cold
ground.
The returning member said he ap-
preciated the enterprise Of the North
American Newspaper Alliance in
bringing him to public attention. A
Birmingham member asked:
What did MANA. get?"
Got left out in the cold. The radio
got it all" 80
What did the photographers get?"
"A fine view Of = real estate subdi-
vision in Chevy Chase
What did the Supreme Court get?"
"An order to put away the matches
and an order to take the ropes Of the
curtains"
"And what did the President Of the
United States get2"
He got out Of the country = : ="
Demands Real Name.
Suddenly the wizard thought there
was something phony about al this and
demanded the real name Of this central
character.
"Block-paul Block" said the
masked man from the North.
HELL" said the chprus changing
