Show A LIVE VpiCE FROM THE SHEEP FOLD Progressive Opinion, Dear Mr. Lund : In your issue of September 29 you write that Joe Bush and me, Peter, have come to the parting of the ways over so shabby thing as politics. Joe Bush and me Peter have weathered many political storms and some minor religious ones, Joe in one party and one religious creed, me Peter in another, but there never has been a time in more than half a century of palling and neighboring round, and here and there doing this and that to or for them and those we have and will "continue as friends even though he will vote for Dewey, while me Peter will vote for Franklin D. So we will vote, Mr. Lund, he in his voting booth and I in mine, in the same voting precinct as we have for many years. We always go together, some times in his car, some times in mine, with the same friendly difference as when in years gone by we rode our saddle horses to the voting place, when U. S. Highway No. so and so was just a sage brush trail, jack rabbits far more plentiful than cars and the gas shortage worried no one. It might surprise you Mr. Lund, to know that Joe Bush, a Democrat, will vote for Mr. Dewey, while I, a Republican, am voting for the president, while both Joe and me Peter are voting for Bracken Lee. It is always a source of great satisfaction to Joe and me Peter to be mentioned in the Progressive Opinion. It compensates us for never being mentioned in the column of the Senator from Sandpit. P.S. You say that Joe is content to remain with the great unwashed army of commoners. Joe says that most of the great army of commoners are well washed even behind the ears and those who are not washed now will be washed up in Utah in November. With our greatest respect to you and Mrs. Lund, who Joe and me Peter regard as one of the very first ladies of the state we are, Very truly yours, Joe Bush Peter Spraynozzle of Sheepfold, Utah, U.S.A. |
