The witty American journal Life has inspired - a third candidate
to appear for the American Presidency-- Mr. Will Rogers, who calls himself the " anti-bunk candidate," and hangs on the flanks of the other two candidates, stinging them with ridicule and incidentally discharging a caustic commentary on political life in general. His candidature is supported with admirable mock seriousness by several .distinguished persons, who appreciate the wholesomeness 'of irony. We like in particular Mr. Rogers' pledge to the farmers know what the farmer needs, but I can't give it to him. But I am going to tell him before election that I can't give it to him—not afterwards. I can tell you, in a few words, what the farmer needs. He needs a punch in the jaw, if be believes that either of the parties cares a damn about him after the election. That's all the fanner needs, and that's all he'll get.
