Jedge Waxem’s Political Proverbs.

A candidate may think he is buyin’ a man’s vote, but he ain't, he’s only rentin’ it. Wimmen suffragists ain’t good for much else. Gettin’ elected once ain’t a shore sign of havin’ the dose repeeted. Farmers ain’t got no bizness tryin’ to raise crops in the politikle feeld. When a congressman is as big in Washington as he is in his own deestrick, he begins to hanker fer the White House. The difference between a partyzan and a pattriot is the partyzan gits the Government job. A man never gets too old to vote. Gettin’ drunk on the Fourth of July is a mighty poor kind of pattriotism. . The Prohibishtfn party uses so much water it gets a washout two or three times a year.—Free Press.
