Speaker 3: Oh that's different.

8
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:31,839
Speaker 2: Anyone I know? No, Dear, would you mind not speaking

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,719
to date. Now let's see where were we. Oh yeah,

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,439
they're at breakfast, and Harriet says Ozzie.

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,159
Speaker 3: I wish you'd put down that taper and drink your

29
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:50,439
coffee in just.

30
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,159
Speaker 2: A minute, Dear, I just wanted Oh oh uh, I

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,799
say Harriet, Yes, dear, listen to this. I just happened

32
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,200
to stumble across it here in letters to the editor.

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Would you get to hear it? Your coffee is getting cold,

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,159
dear sir. Recent surveys show that an alarming number of

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,680
voters are shirking their duties by failing to register for

36
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:18,439
the coming election. This is indeed, good morning, Ricky. Sit

37
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:19,960
down when you're Ricky. There's something here I want to

38
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:26,800
read to your mother. Dear Sirs, recent surveys, Ricky, do

39
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,039
you have to crunch on that coast this very minute

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,719
trying to read something to your mother? Dear Sirs. Recent

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,599
surveys show that an alarming number of voters are shirking

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840
their duties by failing to register for.

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: The Good morning, there David did to terms breakfast this morning?

44
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: No wonder you didn't call me your here, good morning, David.

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,479
Sit down, would you please? Where was that? Oh? Oh? Yes,

46
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:56,159
this is a tragic commentary on the David. Please, the

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,479
mother is very anxious to hear a certain article I'm

48
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:03,319
trying to read to her. This is a tragic commentary

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,400
on the decline of civic responsibility. These citizens who failed

50
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,000
to register are guilty of negligence and indifference to public duty.

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,000
You know, boys, I think we could get along better.

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,479
There wasn't quite so much Catlin, Harriet, do you or

53
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:20,039
do you not want to hear this? But I do. Dear,

54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,159
go ahead, I'm listening. I'm possible for you to talk

55
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:23,599
to the boys and hear what I'm reading. At the

56
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,199
same time, those citizens who fail to register are guilty

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,639
of moral negligence and indifference to public duties. Our most

58
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:34,240
precious right must be exercised. We must protect our traditional principles.

59
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,080
The principle at my school is mis covid. That's fine, Ricky,

60
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,360
I'll be through in just a moment. Otherwise we abandon

61
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:49,120
true democracy for the rule of selfish demogogue. Demod yes, demogogue.

62
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:54,680
Responsible citizens register and vote in the coming election. What

63
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,240
do you think of it, but I think it's positive grillion.

64
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Guess who wrote it?

65
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: See George Bernard Shaw, no, Secretary of State burn No, Ozzie.

66
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Nelson, Absolutely correct, there is see Ozzie Nelson. See there

67
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,120
it is boys. Your brother's name, sweet our toes? Now

68
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,480
is that all the impression that makes when I get

69
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:25,279
my name in the paper? Is that good?

70
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,079
Speaker 3: You know that Jack of saniel a little thornberry.

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,199
Speaker 2: He had his six on the paper last night. Igure.

72
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,319
We're very proud of you. It's an excellent letter, Thank you, dear.

73
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:39,360
You know something, Harriet, Writing for your newspaper can be

74
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,519
a valuable public service, especially when a man has the

75
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,639
ability to express himself with clarity and force. That's true.

76
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,920
There's some more toast o, yes, thank you. Goodness knows

77
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:52,879
there are plenty of issues that are confusing the public

78
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:53,279
right now.

79
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: I think I'll get some incisions and cut that article

80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,560
out for us forget.

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,199
Speaker 2: Oh what for, Harriet? Well, I want to stave. It's

82
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,720
the show up. It's not worth talking about it. What

83
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:03,920
is it? I just happened to write an ordinary letter

84
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,399
reminding the people to get out and register and vote.

85
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,639
So what was that? Did you hear? Something hit against

86
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,319
the front door. Oh, yes, I think it was just

87
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,040
the morning paper, but we already got our papers. Oh.

88
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,480
I kind of figured that my letter might be in

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,040
the paper today, so I asked the boy to ride

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,800
back and get a few extra for it. But I

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,240
only heard one head. Again. I thought you might want

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,319
to send a copy to your mother and my mother,

93
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:49,120
and maybe I better get the papers. I'm answering it

94
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,079
now there, Oh, good morning, good morning.

95
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,920

Speaker 5: First of all, mister Nelson, a word about our organization.

107
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,079
We are just average citizens.

a long time.

111
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:37,519
Speaker 5: We've been called the vote that's gotten out, and frankly,

112
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,079
miss Nelson, we are just pad up with being wielded.

113
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: Yes, but politically speaking, what's your direction in these times?

114
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Who knows? We just put pressure on everybody. First of all, sir,

Speaker 2: Well, I don't quite understand the out of course you're wondering,

125
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,600
mister Nelson.

126
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: The Citizens Committee is most particular about the character of

127
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,959
any candidate whom it's buzzed candidate. Your letters of the

128

129
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,120
sense of civic responsibility. You, Missus Nelson, are the kind

130
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,439

00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360

142
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:23,240

143
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,240
in public office head.

144
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,319
Speaker 2: Of course, therefore you will not mind if I ask

145
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:28,480
you a few questions. Not an author? Do you hold

146
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,279
public office? Now? No? No? Have you ever been convicted

147
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:31,839
of a plidate?

148
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 6: No?

00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: You seem to be just the knife we're looking for. Golly,

150
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,039
I don't know. Do you mind if I call my wife?

151
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Not at all. I'd like to meet her.

152
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,639
Speaker 5: Hey, Harriet, Harriet, We're always curious about the relationship between

153
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:44,559
a candidate and his wife.

154
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:52,399
Speaker 2: Harriet. Dear Harriet is mister Featherway, it's any Penny, how

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,120
do you do? How do you do? This is Nelson.

156
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,799
We have asked your husband to be a candidate for

157
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,639
public office. Really, yes, for public executive protective Custodia, public

158
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,320
protest executive protect exactly. Well, that sounds wonderful. Now just

159
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,120
a moment, Harriet, you must realize what an important step

160
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,279
this is. Our quiet, peaceful home life here will all

161
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,919
be changed. We live in the public eye, subject always

162
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,759
to criticism, few thanks, long hours. I always thought a

163
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,720
politician's hours were short, not just before elections. Think it over, Harriet,

164
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:27,080
it's a big step, you know, the old thing politics

165
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:35,879
make strange. Bedfeather tell you, mister Penny follow Well, what

208

all my waking hours if necessary, to make this office

209
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:17,240
a model of efficiency and good governments. Oh that's cute.

00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm positive you.

213
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,039
Speaker 2: You can't be sure. Some people think my opponent will win.

214
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: Oh, you've got an opponent. That's a little difference.

215
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,159
Speaker 2: But I vote for you. Well, thanks very much, Glory,

216
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,600
But I don't want you to vote to me unless

217
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,639
you think I'm the best man for the job. See,

218
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,799
you have to realize it's the duty of a citizen

219
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:48,840
not only to register and vote, but also to keep informed,

220
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,960
know all about the candidates and the duties of their office,

221
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:54,879
and then decide which candidate is capable.

222
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: Yep, I get here right, I should no more, man,

223
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:02,360
And it's intronouncing you your opponent capable.

224
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I don't know.

225
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: Who is your opponent?

226
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: Well, he's say, Come to think of it, I didn't ask.

227
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:12,480
I don't know.

228
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,759
Speaker 3: Well, what are the duties of your office?

229
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,759
Speaker 2: Well you the I'm not sure.

230
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,279
Speaker 4: See I wish I was a candidate instead of a voter.

231
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440
Then I wouldn't have to know anything either.

232
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,519
Speaker 3: Well, I'll take it over while I get lunch ready. Said,

233
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,600
by the way, Ali, what are you running for? I mean,

234
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:38,120
what are the duties of this executive detective?

235
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: Frankly, I was just wondering the same thing myself. It's

236
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,000
probably writing this book, Laurie again. Let me see public offices,

237
00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:49,039
masnad i'd said, had something to do with a treasurer's office,

238
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:54,120
wouldn't you. I was not in that section. Oh, wouldn't

239
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,759
be a minor office like that anyway? And look it

240
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,159
up here close to the mayor. That's all here is

241
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:10,919
public protective executive custodians. His duties shall consists lunch. Ready, Yet, Dear,

242
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,960
what office is it? Office? Yes, that's what you just

243
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:19,039
looked up, isn't it. What are the duties of the

244
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,200
office you're running for, Harriet? The particular duties of the

245
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840
office aren't important after all, there, but what are the duties?

246
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,320
It doesn't matter much what a man does. It's a

247
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,159
fact he's in public service, that he's doing his best

248
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:31,759
for the people.

249
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,559
Speaker 3: What are you running for?

250
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,639
Speaker 2: Dog catcher?

251
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,399
Speaker 3: Dog catcher?

252
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, head dog catcher. But come on, Ozzie, let's eat lunch.

253
00:14:57,399 --> 00:14:59,360
Are you still going to pass out to guard there? Well,

254
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:06,559
of course we wouldn't. Dog. This gets me more appropriate, Harriet,

255
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:09,039
that's a very cheap joke. I don't know. I kind

256
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,399
of like it. The office of head dog Catcher is

257
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,000
a very honorable and historic office, was established in eighteen

258
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,399
seventy four by an Act of the City Council and

259
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:20,159
has always been filled by honest and upright citizens.

260
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: That's interesting.

261
00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Besides, I can't get out of it.

262
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,039
Speaker 4: But I don't see why you should want, you, dear,

263
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,120
After all, it is a public office.

264
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:28,639
Speaker 2: And it may be only the beginning for you.

265
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,559
Speaker 3: If you do a good job, maybe you can run

266
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,159
for something.

267
00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: Else next year. Say that's right, that's the way to

268
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,559
look at this job as a stepping stone. Who knows

269
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,000
where it could leave, perhaps even to Washington someday. Sure,

270
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:53,879
from dog house to fight house. Well hoo boy, hi Pop,

271
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:56,559
what happened? Fellas? Something go wrong in school?

272
00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: Tom David might as well tell you, Pop, everything decided

273
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,240
to run for dog catchers.

274
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: All the kids we know what dogs won't speak to. Oh,

275
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,399
so that's it? Not only that, well, Sung Dan's Coca

276
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:15,000
Daniel won't speak you with either. I'm sorry, Papa. Well,

277
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:17,080
none of the kids seem to like dog catchers. Not

278
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,840
just a moment, boys, I think you've got this little confused.

279
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,919
You see, I will be the man who goes out

280
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,559
with the net and catches the dog. You won't, no, no,

281
00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,600
I'll I'll just be the man who sends the man

282
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,159
out with the net to catch the dogs. Oh that's

283
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,000
not much better, is it? Ha? Please don't be a

284
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,639
dog catcher. Gosh, Fellas, I never realized you felt this

285
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,840
way about it. We want to get a dog of

286
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,639
our own. Well, you can have a dog I'll catch

287
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:47,440
you with. I mean, I'll buy you a swell dog.

288
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:53,519
Do you think, just because I'm dog catcher out of

289
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:56,320
checks to having a dog in the house. No, but

290
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,759
how's the dog gonna feel? Fellas, You've gotta listen to me.

291
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,159
You've got to see my side of it. I like

292
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:05,519
dogs just as much as you do, and I promise

293
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:06,319
you I'll be married.

294
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 7: Hello, Emmy Lou over an as I saw you come

295
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:17,920
out of the house.

296
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,519
Speaker 2: I heard the news, and I want to tell you

297
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,480
that I'm very proud of you. Oh, thank you, Emmy Lou.

298
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,680
What an honor it is for me to live next

299
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:27,359
door to you. Oh you're exaggerated. Oh no, I know.

300
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 4: I can't help thinking how proud I'll be some day

301
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,960
when a mad dog gets loose on main streeting, people's

302
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:35,119
lives are in dangers until you come along, dashing and

303
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,079
capturing with your bare hands.

304
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: I think they provide gloves. I can see you now,

305
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,759
standing there, facing the mad beast. Slowly you hold off

306
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:50,480
the can of red heart. He crouches your muscle flex

307
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:51,319
You're ready to drove the.

308
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:51,799
Speaker 4: Net over room.

309
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,079
Speaker 3: He goes hands to me.

310
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,519
Speaker 2: He springs at you miss the crowd scattered will do

311
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,680
you right? Well, of course no, mister Nelson, you don't.

312
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:03,279
As a mad dog's got you by the sleeve.

313
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,759
Speaker 3: Now it's either tearing the fleash off your arm.

314
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,519
Speaker 2: You're just run up into a rock.

315
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,319
Speaker 3: And lets the bound him.

316
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: He's captured and you're a hero. Will't that be wonderful

317
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,599
for the neighborhood? You know? And they, you and the

318
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,119
boys are giving me entirely new picture of this. In fact,

319
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,519
the whole thing gets less appealing by the minute.

320
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: Well do you mean you'd rather not have a job,

321
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,519
mitter Nelson?

322
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: Well, for one thing, David and Ricky and even Harriet

323
00:18:30,039 --> 00:18:33,000
will probably disinherit me if I'm elected. You see, it

324
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:36,319
seems nobody has much sympathy for dog catchers. We're an

325
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,839
oppressed minority. If that's the way you feel about it,

326
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,079
maybe you'll be lucky and.

327
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:41,799
Speaker 3: Love the election.

328
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: No, not with my luck. They've already arranged for me

329
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,200
to go out and make speeches and get votes.

330
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe the.

331
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,319
Speaker 2: People won't watch your speeches and love vote for you. Yay. Hey,

332
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,920
that's an idea, emy, lou. Maybe I can campaign to

333
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,880
lose votes if I could succeed in making bad enough speeches,

334
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:01,400
I may lose the election.

335
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: Oh, I've got faith in you, mister Nelson.

336
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,759
Speaker 2: You'll be able to do it. It will be easy

337
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,240
for you. Lou wait, i'll see you light. I'm going

338
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:13,640
to go prepare a few bad speechures.

339
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: You're wonderful the sacrifice you're making for your family, giving

340
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:20,279
up what may be a brilliant political career.

341
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: Just think you might be elected dogcatchers as an alderman,

342
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,599
as a mayor, a governor. And then who can tell you?

343
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: My gons the president have your picture taken with thanks, Tonadra,

344
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:34,880
And so.

345
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: A strange phenomenon takes place. The Rogers wrote, political machine

346
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:48,759
grinds to a stump and slowly goes into reverse, gradually gather.

347
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 6: Speed and more speed, every card turning poutly, every nuts

348
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,519
performing his functions, turning out speeture.

349
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: What would I do about loose dogs if I were elected?

350
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,000
I do the same thing the president incumbent would do

351
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,160
about loose dogs if I were the parent incumbent he

352
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,599
were elected. That's what I do about loose dogs if

353
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:19,759
I were elected, turning out radio programs, Well.

354
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,839
Speaker 3: Got America time to stump the preaching. Tonight's our GUESTI

355
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:25,839
versus candidate for Doug Ketcher.

356
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 5: As he listened, mister Nilson, I would like to ask

357
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:31,759
you questions who were you vote for as Doug Ketcher.

358
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: For my opponent JJJJ O'Mahoney, he is experienced, he is independent.

359
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:45,200
O mahoney wears no dog's collar, more horse speeches. And

360
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,279
so members of the ladies aide, remember a vote for

361
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:59,400
me is a vote for inefficiency and corruption and enclosing legionnaires.

362
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,680
Let me remind you again, elect me dog catcher, and

363
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,480
in six months the dogs will be running this out.

364
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 8: So I say for you, daughters of Carrie Gibson, go

365
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,079
to the polls to borrow and vote for my opponent,

366
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,039
JJJJ o' mahoney.

367
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:30,279
Speaker 2: Parney political jokes. It has been stated by some irresponsible

368
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:34,920
scandalmongers that my opponent JJJJ O'Mahoney was once seen pushing

369
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,480
a dog off his lap. This is an unmitigated scandless untrue.

370
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:48,400
That was no dog. That was his wife, grinding out

371
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,119
dreams of handbills and millboard as.

372
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: Hens in an able canyonade departs the platform of Jane

373
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Jane Jane j o' mahoney. Anesty in Kangrigate carried email

374
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,200
now settling campaign strategy.

375
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:13,319
Speaker 2: Why should I shake your hand? I don't want your vote? Thegars,

376
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,640
no thanks, I never used. I am calling upon you

377
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:21,440
for one thing. Get out and vote. But remember, if

378
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:28,400
I'm elected, this town will go to the dog right

379
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:32,119
up to election day and election night. When Harriet says

380
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,240
to Ozzie, it's seven o'clock.

381
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: There, why don't you see if some of the returns

382
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,880
are coming in, And when.

383
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,599
Speaker 5: The smoke of battle drifts away, the town will find

384
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960
in its myths one of the finest political stars in

385
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,599
the history of the city, the cleverest boat getterer of

386
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,160
all time.

387
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:49,799
Speaker 2: In a very unorthodox, completely nutty campaign.

388
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: This candidate, on the ticket of the Citizens Committee.

389
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 5: Committee, wept all opposition before him by the novel method

390
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,039
of pretending that he didn't want the job.

391
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: I guess that it proved that nothing captures the heart

392
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,640
of the American public like a good sense of humor.

393
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,119
So that all congratulate, aren't you dogcatcher? Congratulations wherever you are,

394
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,240
mister Rawsie Nelson. That may you if that isn't the

395
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,400
most amazing thing, it's terrible in a way, it's hilariously funny.

396
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,920
I suppose have you tried so hard to get diceated.

397
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,880
What am I going to tell my children? That must

398
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,640
be the committee to put the crown on your head.

399
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 5: Oh well, mister Pennyfeather, come on, missus Nelson, I hope

400
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,960
you're thoroughly ashamed of yourself. What do you mean to

401
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:30,799
think's the you, of all people, will do a thing

402
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,000
like that.

403
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,079
Speaker 2: But it would have for that wonderful letter you wrote

404
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,079
to the paper. Do you remember what you said in

405
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,720
that letter? Well, of course, what's that got to do

406
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:38,799
with the election. That's got to do with the election.

407
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,680
Haven't you heard that I won thirt you one? Yes,

408
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,839
but you've also been disqualified. Disqualified I can't take off

409
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,440
no and all on a technicality too, Miss that else

410
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:57,559
you forgot her, righteouster. It's posible he forgot your regis?

411
00:23:57,759 --> 00:24:00,720
How did you vote all? It's most I've forgot that too.

412
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: You've been listening to the adventures of Ozy and Harriet.

413
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000
This is the Armed Forces Radio Servers, the voice of

414
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:19,480
Information and Education.
