Politics, of course, often has been' called a “‘three ring circus,’”’ but now the tables are turned. Show-business has gotten into politics—with both! feet! There are many confusing com-. plications. Youngsters who have ¢arried ‘water for the elephants since time immomarial, usually in exchange for free ducats, will probably be paid off with Thirty-Thursday warrants—redeemable at age 50. Political trapeze performers, accustomed to showing off in the Legislature and at Town Hall meetings, will be bobbing up in The Main Tent, or barking their wares before sideshow entrances, with the clowns crowded into the background. Housewives, on their Saturday shopping tours, will likely be confronted with Thursday hams, Townsend coffee, Roosevelt’s pork and beans, Dewey’s lamb, stew, Garner’s Texas fed steer beef, and Olson’s dated milk and honey. It’s a bewildering bit of business—and nobody knows where it may end! But there’s nothing ‘funny’ about the kind of money that’s being raised by this new brand of political showbusiness. The Ham and Eggs movement, preparing for the special election in November, is reported to be collecting approximately $50,000 per month in campaign contributions, iti year in dues and the other thousands that may be garnered from its picnics and circuses. Their radio programs alone are running into tens of thoushardly begur. Curiously enough, although proponents of the Thirty-Thursday plan constantly berate ‘‘capitalists’’ and Big Business in their broadcasts, they will undoubtedly have more money to spend in their campaign for the Ham and Eggs scheme than the taxpayers’ groups which will oppose it, It’s a strange business.
