Show SHE COULD ANSWER FOR HIM Little Comfort for Candidate in Reason Rea-son Assigned by Wife for Her Being Confident. Mr. Williams, one of five candidates for the office of sheriff in one of the northern counties of Wisconsin, was making a house-to-house canvass of rural district, soliciting votes. Coming Com-ing to the house of Farmer Tompson, he was met at the door by the good housewife, and the following dialogue ensued: "Is Mr. Tompson at home?" "No; h has gone to town." "I am very sorry, as I would have liked to talk to him." "Is there anything I can tell him for you?" "My name is Williams, candidate for sheriff, and I wanted to exact a promise prom-ise from him to vote for me at the coming election." "Oh, that will be all right. I know he will promise, for he has already promised four other candidates the same thing." Norman E. Mack's National Na-tional Monthly. |
