Show Will Rogers Says The Silent Vote Elected Him I resign. New York, November 7. The future of the Anti-Bunk Party Is uncertain, according to Will Rogers, who was its candidate for President leading up to Tuesday's election. "Both the other parties are paying off with nothing but thanks," says Rogers Ro-gers today in Life Magazine, where he is conducting his campaign, "so I am not going to send any more thanks to my supporters. There is enough people now trying to live on thanks. In fact, that's all the farmers will have to live on for the next four years. "It was the silent vote that elected me and the loud vote that kept our other opponents out. But I promised faithfully when this campaign got going go-ing that if elected I would resign and thats the only campaign promise I am going to stick to. "They talk about a man not being a good citizen if he don't vote. If everybody ev-erybody didn't vote then none of the candidates could be elected and that would be the end of politics and we could just go out and hire some good . man. to run the country. ! "I m not saying yet what I will do In ' 1332, but I may jump to the Congress- ! ional Record. They have made me : some very attractive offers to handle my next campaign They claim they can give me plenty of space. As the election is over the members won't have , to start electioneering in the Senate and House for a couple of years. "We went into this campaign to j drive the bunk out of politics but our experiment, while noble in motive, was a failure. Anyway, here is good luck from the only cheerful loser in the race." |
