What the Gardner Said Sirs: You might like to know what our gardner (a very comical man) said when he finished chuckling over your The Voter's Dream cartoon. "Well, Sir!" he said, "nothing ain't tickled my wrinkled old wattles so in ten year!" Old John comes from the "Coolidge Country" in Vermont and he tells me that the expression "tickling one's wattles" is used by one of the most distinguished men born in those parts. By "wattles" it seems that they mean the skinny, baggy fore part of a typical Vermonter's throat...

The "Tammany Farmers" series has stressed urban ignorance...
...Nominee Smith had answered the attack on his legislative record made by Editor William Allen White of the Emporia, Kan., Gazette. Editor White retracted the more disgraceful part of his charges. The G. O. P. at no time took official credit or responsibility for the White work. Many another cartoon was drawn about this episode. In his retraction, issued just before sailing to Europe, Editor White said : "I'm throwing no mud at. Governor Smith." A picture at once suggested itself and was drawn ? a little man on the stern of a steamer sloshing a mudball...
...Kirby cartoon of the G. O. P. saying "Tammany!" in the midst of its rogues' gallery has been broadcast as Democratic propaganda. Last week "Frank J. McKenna of Excelsior, Minn., and friends" paid $137.20 to insert it as an advertisement in the pro-Hoover Minneapolis Tribune...
