Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1909 — Our Prophet Gets “Peanutty.” [ARTICLE]

Our Prophet Gets “Peanutty.”

The editor of the “peanut stand,” the harper of peanut politics, the slippery eel of political waters, whose party’s emblem, which so fittingly represents a certain megaphone oi that party, the jackas3 and a rooster, a crowing assinine ensign for the people before election and for whatever money stands for after e’e tlon, eloquently proclaims that Theodore Roosevelt will go out of office March 4th the most unpopular president that ever occupied the presidential chair, and his prescient mind bombastically notifies the public that the publishers who agreed to pay a dollar a word for Roosevelt’s African hunting trip stories are likely to be stung good and proper. It is a lamentable fact that Roosevelt does not know this. If he bad only possessed wisdom enough to consult the blatant, little Jerkwater journalist about his policies, he might have left the office more admired than a Lincoln, a Washington, or a Jefferson.
