Political Cries and Slogans Now
Major Part of Presidential Races

AS early as 1910. when po-
litical party promised the voter
Two Dollars Day and Roast
Beef" the slogan was as much
a part of presidential election
campaigns as the handshake and
the stump.
It's a fitting arena for the
slogan, which was once the bat
tie cry of the Scots. The word
comes from "sluagh," meaning
army" and "gairm," or "call." T"
The voters of 1840 took up
the battle for two dollars, con-
ceding that ivan, Van Martin
Van Buren, is a Used-up Man."
They gave their votes to Tip
pecanoe and Tyler Too"-Wil-
liam Henry Harrison, the hero
of the Indian battle of Tippe-
canoe, and his running mate,
John Tyler.
In 1864, when Lincoln was
running for a second term, the
Union was warned: Don't Swap
Horses in the Middle of the
Stream" The cry was to echo
80 years later, when Franklin
D. Roosevelt won a fourth term
in the dark years of World
War ii.
Horace Gre eeley thundered,
Turn the Rascals Out" in 1872,
but Grant held the presidency
for another term.

WORDS, WIT

THORN MCBRIDE
BEETLE BAILEY
ON STAGE
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: I have just started
on a new job and the chief
clerk was giving me pointers
on the other people in the
Office. About the boss she said:
He's really very nice but be
careful about the way you lay
out his letters. If he's given a
poorly typed letter to sign he'll
fly off the handle" I hadn't
heard that expression before.
Why do we say Fly of the
handle" when we mean get
angry'?-L. c. j., Washington,
D. c.
Answer: Flying off the han
die" implies a sudden wild out
burst of wrath-much more
than simply getting angry. It
suggests the kind of trouble
that would result if an axe
head flew off its handle.
Question: On one of those
Sunday afternoon egghead TV
programs, one panelist said that
the country needs stronger laws
and sterner law enforcement.
Far from eliminating capital
punishment, he said we should
extend it to cover more offenses.
AT this, another panelist said
something that sounded like
you're positively Baconian." I

the period 9th century B. c.
was that 1.-The Draconian Code
is written in blood"
Question: I have often heard
the expression che has sown his
wild oats and now is a re-
spectacle fellow" The meaning
is obvious but I'm puzzled about
those wild oats" Just what
have they to do with wild,
misspent youth? - Oldtimer,
San Diego, Calf.
Answer: "Wild oats" are a
tall weed similar in appearance
to oats but relatively worthless.
So a person sowing wild oats
would be planting a worthless
crop-just as a young man does
