Los Angeles, California –
These presidential election polls certainly are confusing.

First a poll comes out that says Mr. Dewey will absolutely win. Then they bring out a poll that says Mr. Roosevelt will absolutely win.

My goodness, what if we wind up with the Roosevelts and Deweys both in the White House?

On second thought, that’s a very nice picture – the two families sitting around the fireside and chatting.

No, I guess the Deweys don’t exactly care for fireside chats. But it might work out, anyway. The men folks could take turns running the country and the women folks could take turns running the house.

Of course, Mrs. Dewey might get a little upset the first time Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to say she would be three months late for dinner.
