Evening star., 1946-12-15

Are coming at ldSb 10 pc-
And like birds winging home In
the evening,
All the people have come back
to me!
So our party has won in the
landslide
That started, you must allowl
You may have forgotten me 10
long years,
But you will remember me
now!"
Stassen's Lament.
However, woe broke loose In COP
ranks. Harold Stassen, who had
chosen not to run for the Senate
and had found himself to be an
orphan of the November storm,
burst upon the scene sobbing Bit
terly about the Republican Old
Guard:
"You made me what I arm today,
I hope you're satisfied.
When vict'ry crowned the COP
My hope within me died.
The Old Guard skaters every
dream,
You fooled me from the start,
And since we are through,
May God bless you-
With the curse OF an aching
heart!"
The stable groom, unmoved. pro-
posed cheers for Senator-eleet
Bricker, ''the candidate of God.
country and Ohio State" This sent
principals and chorus into "Doin'
What Comes Maturity" in this way:
Folks amt dumb where I come
from,
They amt had any learnin',
They just vote for G. o. p,
'Adoin' what comes maturity.
You don't have to pass in school
exam
For to get on the payroll Of your
Uncle Sam,
You don't have to look In a book
to learn
| How to share in the moola that Is
here to burn.
| That comes maturity!
Some folks from Maine to Texas
| Can't even write their name.
They sign their checks with KS
But they all vote just the same!
Folks amt dumb where I come
| from,
They amt had any learnin'.
| They just vote G. O. P.
'Adoin' what comes natur1 r1ly!"
