And so it- Is qulto~ apparent that there;
'ought: to boa place In the race' for llark
Twain. His: platform, when
la about the best I've seen. ' It covers the :
whole field, and; is: as adjustabloias an ;
Indian rubber band. Moreover, It is frank,
nnsquivocal, . .- and unpolitlcian-like. •'; "It
gives the candidate an opportunity to
Bpeak on any line, and obviates the neees
slty for tacking In the teeth of unfavora
ble .winds;: Mark can take the lead:'. on
I every subject,- and needn't" be afraid of
committing himself— a : thing politicians
.surely do dread. He will .not have to wait
for the other, fellow to announce, himself
first. 'He can plunge right in. think' what
" he darn pleases, and say what he thinks.
No newspapers canruse the deadly paral-.
lei column on him,' for. his platform, jus
tifies all klncisof conflicting ctatements,
and /shows; that he has one prime; object
in/view— thejob and tha'?so.CX» "per.** ..-'■'.
Kofreshing as an ' April rain it is. to thus
j find a candidate wh o has nothing to hide
' and invites the p&netrating inspecti<Jn of
tha political X-rays. Mark doesn't 'even
sax he would rather b© right than be'
President as 6id a certSLin resident of
the Hanover .'slashes. ;' On .the contrary,
he favora any doctrine which might give
him a boose and 1 1 okr years of free : rent
ia the White House. ' I like this, way of
Boijis after tha honorary persimmon and
if&pe his platform will prove the longest
pole that geta tha fruit- Ever since the
day they defeated mo for Justice; of : th©
Peace " I've cad a thorough ';■_ contempt for
politicians and tneir tricks. y-Dld you.
know that -they are alwaya crafty and |
selfish .-and that they don't care a con--"
"'tiriental about tha 'dear people?, Or am
I . announcing ' a fact whicJi has .- hitherto
. escaped tlao observation; of ; tho, £most
astute zninda? They'j©S forUx- with ■Velvety
paws . co that • - their^ very/ footfalls
may be muffled; they/surxsptitlously poer
into tha: future arid seek to pierce the :
lmDenetrable ' mask of eyer.-eb.tf ting pub
lic sentiment; they •watch tha ; crovrd, j and'
when the cat has 'Jumped— or, rather,
after 'it has jumped— they jump, too. But
just before the opinions. of their:consti
tuents have crystallized • into a flsed ; de
termination to " have a certain \ thing" the 4
politicians, are molluscous In . their si
lerice-^a dumb as oysters. . Later on, ;
however, when they hays. counted ;heads,
you;fiad tbem.witii tne majority, or the
supposed majority. All of . which &oe3
to 1 prove that he la the best politician
who to t?ve best mathematician. , And
tfeo best mathematician is. t he duffer who
la quickest to see whichside has the.most
people on. it- "Wherefore. ; I say politi
cianß ara selfish, arid patriots. as scarce aa
rich r&lativea in my family.' That man
who -wants to do.: his '"country^ a -good
' turn and expects nothing in>eturn re-
I malria unborn. It -will 1 taks" an obstetrical
artiHt of the first-class . to "launch, him
successfully and assist his -advent to a
lons, suffering world. To' ■ be- perfectly
frank, politicians are the meanest people
on. earsh— barricg. merchants, doctors,',
. lawyers, preachers; -druggists, ' chiropo
dists, undertakers, editors; ' carpenters,
bricklayers, electricians, and a.' few others
of the same sort. So . let's give llark

tlon. even if we have to beat Mrs. Dewey
