Acerca de esta escucha
Why, you ask, would anyone in their right mind vote for these two people? Well,
Both candidates are bachelors. They offer this point as one of the strongest proofs of their fitness for the office.
Neither of them plays golf.
They promise to restore free speech absolutely, without any reservation whatsoever.
They agree to burn Harvard University.
They agree to reduce the membership of the United States Senate by 50% and of the House of Representatives by 75%.
They will remove from the coinage the inscription, “In God We Trust.”
Mr. Nathan agrees, if elected, never to accept an invitation to visit the place of his birth, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and to meet and speak to the residents. He also agrees to this if not elected. Mr. Mencken agrees, if elected, never to chew tobacco on a public occasion save when granting an audience to the Italian ambassador.
Perhaps further explanation is in order.
Satirical campaigns for the presidency of the United States are probably as old as the country itself. Clearly, some satirical campaigns for the presidency are more memorable than others. During the summer of 1923, H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan announced their bid for the presidency and the vice-presidency of the United States in The Smart Set, the New York literary magazine they co-edited. It didn’t matter to either of them who would serve in which office. The solution to that problem would, if necessary, be resolved by “shooting dice.”
The political campaign platform of H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan is reproduced here as it originally appeared (more or less) in The Smart Set.
