This is the way Private J ohn Alien, the congressional wit, got his title: He ran for congress in Mississippi against General Tucker, who opened the campaign with a rhetorical allusion to his services in the war, describing a battle in which he had commanded the Confederates, sleeping :n a tent on the mountain side on the night of the battle. When he had finished Allen got up and said: “Friends and fellow citizens: Its all true what General Tucker told you about his sleeping in his tent that night befdre the battle. I know all about it, for I was guarding that tent all night long in the cold and wet on picket. And now I just want to say o all of you who were generals in the war, and slept at night in your guarded tents, like General Tucker, you vote for him. But all you fellows who guarded the general’s tents in the wet and cold like me, you vote for Private Allen.” Of course, Private Allen was triumphantly elected and his title goes with his honors. —Boston Herald.
