Allen: Temperature high on coast but Dewey’s on the way

By Gracie Allen

Los Angeles, California –
Well, you Easterners and Middle Westerners can stop complaining about your heat.

Actual photographs of thermometers here in Los Angeles prove that the official temperature last Friday reached 104, with some spots recording 110 degrees. In fact, it got so hot that many were broken before they could be photographed.

It certainly looked funny to see the Chamber of Commerce running around with their little hammers.

Local Republicans are hoping it will cool off before Dewey gets here on his campaign tour.

If not, the weather and Mr. Dewey will make headlines together. And how would that look – “Dewey in California Seeking Voters – Official Forecast 104.”
