Editorial: Campaign corn
Right now is the time for the two national political chairmen to get together and take a stand against puns on the Republican challenger’s name and the Democratic titleholder’s terms in office. Otherwise, we shall be subjected to such bright items as “glorious Fourth,” “safe and sane Fourth,” “Dewey-eyed supporters,” “Dewey or don’t we,” and so on, ad nauseum.
So let’s have a nonpartisan embargo, quickly. Otherwise, the 1944 campaign may be remembered not as one of the most crucial campaigns in American history, but as the corniest.
