view of the city here we are

anybody need a reporter senator I want

you to meet Miss poppy McNaughton just

about the best newspaper woman in this

town

what do you mean to tell me that this

gentle beautiful child is a member of

the Fourth Estate well well well

do be seated I I'm sorry that mrs.

Ashton isn't with me to receive you but

she believes that a woman's place is in

the home

she's old-fashioned that way and saw my

old fashioned just won what oh ho ho yes

course mrs. MacDonald you know son

on second thought bring me a plain

American drink

Ryan branch water vodka take it isn't a

good enough deal no no he just likes

vodka he does this is your first term in

the Senate isn't it oh yes yes the first

of many yet to come I hope the senator

came up the long hard way the American

Way what did this new bill you've

introduced the McCoy Keith Ashton bill

ah the McCoy Keats

Ashton bill is designed for the

protection of man's most faithful

servant the letter carrier why is the

letter carrier weary at the end of the

day he's tired well yes of course but

why is he quiet because he's been

trudging the hard pavements with a load

too heavy for man to bear that is where

my bill comes here if everyone in the

country is compelled to write his

letters on tissue paper we haven't got

all day you know coming now Jerry you'd

better slip in there and get these

things on you'll excuse me now won't you

certainly

Wow great white feather father Oh looks

like feather let's start again he'll be

lucky they may give a Papoose great

white father since reading news from

Washington to his red brethren peace

oh hej the Mikey matter to send you much

rain oh good mati fine

awesome what do you mean impossible no

I'm just gonna quote him accurately

that's all but that's unfair papi you

can't go around voting politicians

accurately that's dirty journalism and

you know it

or maybe I better talk to him about it

glad to see you boss how many hard

things in Washington whose idea is there

it's nothing it's just a precedent for

the hotel

all Indians stuff with feather hats must

be cleared to the party either through

me or to the chairman himself and Ashton

knows that but I tell you the whole any

member of the party in good standing has

a perfect right to have his picture

taken eating a hotdog wearing a fez or

even fishing but big stuff like Indian

ceremonies riding in the cab of the 20th

century limited or shaking hands with a

recognized labor leader is strictly

presidential stuff and he knows that to

them now point out a Setting Sun and

sweat I could just get this there will

be a complete report of this entire

affair in Moscow by midnight

and another thing what's the idea of

telling those reporters that you're not

a candidate for the nomination because

I'm not that's why and stop denying it

no member of the party has the right to

deny that he's a candidate unless he is

a candidate an idiot child knows that

you're not fooling me Ashton not for one

minute I know what your wife's been

saying around Washington mrs. Ashton my

wife goes to the same beauty parlor

Mimi's on K Street it's all over the

joint

so mrs. Ashton is going to do over the

White House huh new chips for The Oval

room Chinese Chippendale for the East

Room and the shocking Pink's at the

spread for Lincoln's bed yet

well now Bailey Fred you can't stop a

woman from having ambitions no but we

can certainly stop you from heaven now

what about this speech for the night the

National Institute of businessmen

neither the chairman their I authorized

that either they asked me whose arm did

you twist

I'll see here Fred you've got no right

to talk to me that way I follow the

party line for 25 years who use the

expression party line once more I'll

strangle you say help me heaven let's

see that speech for the united states

senator Melvin G Ashton speaking it's

the old number five Fred about cutting

income taxes 80 percent you've heard it

a thousand times

Washington yes I'm on must be mrs.

Ashton isn't this the one you delivered

in Detroit December 61941 oh yes I

believe so

don't you think it's about time you cut

out that part for your laugh at the

possibility of war with Japan oh oh

how's everything mama

I'm an Indian now yes it it was

wonderful that you'll see it in the

pictures and I I come out and I say

how how oh it doesn't mean anything in

particular but that's just what you're

supposed to say he's an Indian aren't

you a little old to be playing jokes

steaming him up like that

man's got to look out for his future

doesn't he whose future is you don't

look for him to be elected to the Senate

again do you not unless there's more

chumps in the estate when we figured so

alright then how's he gonna eat next

year eat what does he think the White

House is a soup kitchen

what well that's what you say to end ins

he's got about as much chance of being

nominated for the presidency as Abbott

and Costello you tell him for me the

jokes over how do you know it's a joke

how do I know this whole hotels not made

of a bubble gum boss I was in the

advertising business once so believe me

if you can sell the American public the

idea that one cigarette is different

from another that one toothpaste is

better than another you can sell him

anything even Mel Aston look Gibson the

nomination this year goes to the big

Philip he wants it is that clear

he wants it anything get it if he

doesn't want it there's going to be the

dizziest rat race you ever saw but I'll

make one prediction about that race

right now Ford oh but that thought he

won't be the winning rat get me Tim

Dolan at the Gazette this young lady has

a letter of introduction or I haven't

got time I

public trust public office is a public

in conclusion if there are any questions

any questions at all I shall be glad to

answer them what's this

well this this is somewhat embarrassing

when I open this occasion to questions I

i must confess i I didn't anticipate

this one and yet whoever you are

JC I shall endeavor to answer your

question with the same candor in which

it is phrased ladies and gentlemen the

question is as follows

senator Ashton can you tell us at this

time if the nomination for president is

offered to you by the convention would

you be interested or not thank you thank

you good folks but no no this is no time

for emotionalism but rather for a

serious searching of the heart as you

all know I am a simple plain talking man

with no taste for evasion and no talent

for fancy words so I am going to be open

and aboveboard with you as I have always

been ladies and gentlemen I cannot put

this too strongly I am NOT a candidate

for the presidency

but here goes the ballgame there are

times when decisions of this court are

no longer missing a big story I hope

everybody misses that the idea coming up

that big windbag for president honey

it's my job the guy's a dog but if I can

make any kind of a showing at all with

him I'll be in line for big stuff look

if we're ever gonna get married you mean

he has to be president before we get

married those are tough turn no but be

reasonable papi the man hasn't got a

pair how do you know he has didn't you

tell me watch it with the right promises

that the right people at the right time

you could he's like the two-headed man

the senators a one-handed man mistake

sorry

don't you see honey this is my big

chance huh tissue paper letters for

pete's sake he is nine Stein that much

I'm prepared to admit no you slew all I

know is it was plenty of decent guys in

the Senate capable honest guys who are

trying to run the country right who do

you come up with but Phil McNutt well

you just watch my color from now on

that's all I want you to do but look

papi

a mistake sorry all that dope not until

I've explained the coma you're going to

listen to what I'm telling you I

excuse me ma'am is this ombre in the

last new what thank you sir

just a minute here easy partner easy you

want me to bail him man I don't think so

well what are you doing here isn't that

senator Ashton speaking in there mm-hmm

don't tell me you're interested in

senators please for my home state oh uh

forgot want me to shoot him for you oh I

couldn't just sneak me in just for a few

minutes to hearing well sure but I never

thought I'd live to see the day someone

would want to listen to old wooden shoes

I say no and again no I will not raise

one finger to obtain this greatest gift

within the power of a grateful Republic

this brightest jewel in the diadem of

mankind but if the voice of the people

of these United States if that voice

should ring out over the line and say to

me come then I can only bow my head and

say in all humility I will

ladies and gentlemen the President of

the United States my fellow countryman

in this hour of crisis in this dark day

in history we have nothing to fear but

me

like all right all right

well but I presume you're not aware that

it's somewhere after midnight you dirty

dog you are grateful dog to kick your

own mother in the teeth my mother what

else is the party but a mother to her

sons whose stead of clothes you have

saved you from work for the past 35

years look at that well what have you

got to say for yourself I just want to

be President that's all oh you just want

to be President and what other

qualifications have you got for that

matter what other qualities I am we're

talking about you let's hear what you

have to say and get it over with

very well the other day while going

through the paper mrs. Ashton ran across

this 10 qualifications for a

presidential candidate 10 qualifications

but go on go on

remember this isn't me talking this is

an editorial writer first the candidate

should be from a key state okay so 5 ha

ha second he should have a family well

I've got a bigger family than all the

rest those Joker's put together three

fine sons and four beautiful daughters

you mean you've got seven secretaries

why not senator Arbuthnot has 36 there's

one thing you can't say about me Fred I

have never put one man or woman on the

public payroll who was not my own blood

kin or mrs. Aston's anyway uh-huh

anything else

third he should have a dog I've got a

dog I hate the hound he's bitten me four

times but I haven't Mel there are 10,000

reasons why the party wouldn't touch you

with a 10-foot Pole but I'm going to

boil them all down to one you can't win

and the party wouldn't back George

Washington's mother if the old lady

didn't have any more chance than you

that's your final word

that's official well in that case

so forget take a sleeping pill here take

one of mine if they can make me sleep

after talking to you they can make you

sleep after talking to me Fred I have

something to tell you now what would you

be interested in the fact that I keep a

diary why should I I checked it every

day now for something like 35 years well

that must make you just about the oldest

high school girl in America okay what do

you put in her to your dance with I put

everything in it everything everything

but not everything every single thing

like like Boston like Boston but not

like in detail

where is it

putting things right well that stuff

ever got out but nothing to worry about

I've got it in a safe place where mrs.

Ashton Scotty in Washington switch-on

rope-a-dope italian-designed will burn

it before daylight operator

graduates are wasting a rep placing a

reading anywhere tonight and I'm not

giving up my diary ever what do you me

Hey I just don't want to be pushed

around that's all a man sees a chance to

better himself professionally

be sure to the other pair is that sir

and films except that only a nice little

diary is like owning a nice little atom

bomb even if you never do anything with

it it's a comfort just to know it's

there

goodnight

senator Melvin G Ashton left today on a

speaking tour which is expected to take

him into 28 states from coast to coast

and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico

senator Ashton is not the candidate for

the presidency and is understood to be

making the tour only because he likes to

dress and undress in Pullman births you

see what we've got to do is we've got to

sell you to the country we've got to

show them that you're a real human being

you understand yes I suppose most people

regard me simply as a thinking machine

well I don't know that I'd care to go

that far some of these pictures of me

are not very large are they

now really how long you gonna keep this

up

no suppose by some Daffy chance at Windy

wobble we've got in there impossible

between me and you mister dingbats

running on a treadmill but did you see

that poll yesterday how he's still

climbing has he passed crazy Alan yet

he's fourth now fourth from 15 to fourth

in three weeks that's nuts it must have

been a misprint no if I saw him in two

papers yeah then they didn't ask the

right people Mel Ashley couldn't get

elected to the Book of the Month Club no

maybe you've done a better job than you

think

forget it honey just relax I don't think

the old bird himself takes his chances

that seriously

while in Hollywood Senator Ashton had

looked closely into the question of oil

deposits and other national resources

as always the veteran statesman had

faced issues squarely in the Middle West

he had lost no opportunity to look

further into the question of crop

rotation a sports lover to his

fingertips Bell found time for a few

fast holes of golf a spot of tennis and

a brisk an Iran old best leaving him fit

as a fiddle to carry on his plucky fight

against being made a presidential

candidate but the greatest thrill of the

whole trip from Allison was saved for

the last he rode in the cab of a track

transcontinental train and drove it like

a flaperon railroad woman close to the

35 long wait is an expert in the field

of internal combustion engines he

handled the mighty mokdong locomotive

with the ease of a latter-day Casey

Jones arousing the frank admiration of

engineer

it

track anyway football football door 2882

really think you could arrange that I

believe so I think the duties would be

relatively simple oh never mind the duty

serve what does it pay about a hundred

and fifty thousand dollars imagine what

wouldn't fit

say that's more than the president it's

a bigger job youth of the nation hope of

the future you know yeah well I must

tell mrs. Asher about this

last chance you know come leave me alone

something you want to ask me look will

somebody please tell me

didn't she ask for a fact because I

scared the poor kid was good to be

arrested hej that's the guy that Center

for it

which do you think sounds better that my

health is broken down as a result of

overwork or that my mission for the

American people has at last been

accomplished just say you quit I don't

look for anybody to quibble about it

sincere United States Senator Melbourne

Ashton speaking oh yes no no that's so

over that role Gibson he's got the diary

well you fellas to celebrate but I've

just taken a 50% cut in pay theater this

just sounded and you can tell the

following that they can unpack laughing

Larry schnecken burger in Kansas City

being president but it's more important

and remember they give you a house to

live in yes but that's quite a comedown

Fred from a hundred and fifty thousand

football games well you can go to

football games when you're president
