tice. The campaign will depend on
what Harry and I tell the voters.
Uncle SAINT will depend a lot
more on what you don't tell them.
A campaign speech set to music
was made by an actor assuming the
role OF Senator La Toilette, the Wis
consin Progressive who has switched
back to the Republican fold. George
Gershwin's song, "Blah- -blah-blah,' ~
provided the vehicle.
Song Of the Candidates.
After former Gov. Stassen was de-
picted as "waitin' for my train to
come In. waitin' for my boom to
begin" the candidates joined In
chorus on the rollicking rhythm OF
the March Of the Musketeers::"
I'VE are the candidates
Bold. dashing candidates,
Once more you hold our fates
Heart and soul, when you roll to
the poll!
We are the candidates,

Come what may, stand or flee .
One for all, and all for mel"
International crises and world
personalities went on the grill for
thorough broiling in a musical
skit laid among craters on the
moon. 1t began with this announce
lment:
"Mr. President, with the help OF
the Red Army and $11 900 ,000, ,00C
worth of lend-lease, Russia has sue
cessfully secured her boundaries
against the threatened invasion by
Iran. At the same time the citizens
of Greenwich, Conn, armed only
with Glare Boothe Luce, have been
equally successful in repelling an
invasion planned by the entire U. N
Tonight the weary pilgrims OF the
U. N. are still searching desperately
for a place to light. Through the
magic of radar we take you now to
Greenwich-on-the-Moon."
The Moon as U. N. Site.
Bevin of Britain. Byrnes of the
United States and Gromyko of Rus.
sia discussed the possibilities o1
locating the U. N. on the moon
when they discovered it was already
inhabited-by Peron of Argentina
and Franco of Spain, who sang the
"Toreador" song thus:
I'VE are the boys who couldn't
rightly guess,
Who'd win the war, who'd win the
war.
Now the British, Russians and U. S
Say that we are through.
And 50 we're asking you
Man In the moon, come down real
soon-P. S."
Man-in-the -Moon-What do you
mean, P. S.?
Peron-P. S.-Peron speaking
and that means Hurry up!" Senior
we have proposition. We are Of
fering you an alliance. You help
us conquer the world, and we've
will let you keep the moon.
Stain emerging from behind q
CRATER wait, wait! R-r-russia has
historic interest in the moon.
Man-in-the- -Moon-Who are you?
Stalin-Josef Stain, commissar OF
the Soviet army, navy and air force
In Russia, have had our merger
already.
Byrnes-Mr. Gromyko did not tel
us you were going to be here, too.
Stalin-In Russia we have rea
democracy. Nobody tells anybody
So everybody is equal"
The bigwigs of world politics con.
tinued to discuss the settlement o,
U. N. in terms that became increas-
ingly bellicose, when suddenly ap-
peared Joe Doaks, citizen, who sans
his fears to melody of "It Might a!
well Be Spring"
I'm as restless as an atom In 9
cyclotron
feel hopeless as a Democrat ir
Maine,
took one look at my draft card
Cause it seems like war again.
I feel bellicose and yet I'm some.
| what frightened
Like nightmare in the middle oi
the night
Oh. why should we have war fever
When there is no cause to fight?
keep wishing I were somewhere
else
In another time or stage
Living on a desert island
But even there you can't escape.
would rather see the White Way
in splendor
Than to see a burning city ablaze
and glow
I'd rather see a steamer full o1
tourists
Than a bomber diving low.
But I fear its fight, ii we do not al
\ unite
Behind the U-N-O,
Behind the U-N-O."
'Let 1t Snow"
In a duet to the tune of ;Let Il
Snow" National Republican Chair.
man Reece and Democratic Nationa
Chairman Hannegan were portrayed
as heartily enjoying the otheri
woes:
/ Reece-
There's a coalition growing,
Southern Democrats are Growing
And we will join in the crow
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow
i Hannegan-
If it doesn't show signs of stopping
There will soon be he'll a-popping
When Harry gets mad you know
Let it grow, let it grow, let 1t grow
Hannegan-
We have Vardaman and George Aller
To counteract Joe Stain,
And Russia had best go SLOW
Amt it so, amt it so, amt it so
Il Reece-
That doesn't present much solace,
For you still have Henry Wallace
And Truman had best go slow
i Amt it so. amt 1t so, amt it so
Hannegan-
Oh Hatton Summers leaving
