Gracie Allen Reporting

By Gracie Allen

Hollywood, California (UP) –
Well, tomorrow is Election Day and I’m going right out on a limb and make a prediction. The Democrats will carry three states. the Republicans will carry three states. The other 42 I can’t be sure of. But that’s the trend if you want to place a bet.

The important thing is that we all get out and vote tomorrow. George and I have our morning all scheduled:

  • 6:00 a.m.: George leaps out of bed and turns on cold shower.
  • 6:02 a.m.: I go in and take it.
  • 6:30 a.m.: Breakfast.
  • 7:00 a.m.: We vote.

Won’t it be restful next week when the political campaigns are over, and we can pick up a newspaper again and just read those quiet, peaceful descriptions of the battles in the Philippines?
