Go West Young Man Page #4

Huh? Yeah. Yeah, sure. I was just

recalling the time in Chicago-

Why, I don't really believe the public

would be interested in that, Miss Arden.

What? Not interested in politics?

Oh, Miss Arden, I was only jesting.

Uh, give us a break here,

will you, fellow? Okay.

- Have you any particular platform, Miss Arden?

- Well, the one I act on.

- Well, haven't you any political

views? - Well, let me see. I-

Why, of course you have, Mavis.

Tell them the one about more

marriages. You know. Tell them that one.

Hmm.Just a mouse

studying to be a rat.

What a platform.

Marriages? Sure, let's have it.

- Tell us the whole story.

- Don't crowd me, boys. Don't crowd me.

What I think the country needs

is more marriages, more happy homes.

Look at the millions of lovely giris wasting their

lives in factories, shops, offices and restaurants,

just because millions of men

can't afford to marry them.

When April comes around again, with its blue skies and

- What's gonna become of the country?

- What can be done about it?

- The state should make it possible for them to marry.

Endow matrimony the same

Give every unmarried girl a dowry

and provide every young couple...

Pardon me, boys.

All right. See ya later, boys.

Is that gonna be your campaign, Mr. Harrigan?

Do you agree with Miss Arden?

Well, I-I- Can we quote you in

connection with Miss Arden's statement?

Well, of course I think- Well, as my

constituents have so often said, I feel that I-

Laugh that off.

I- I hope the interview

was satisfactory, gentlemen.

''Mavis Arden advocates

increased matrimony.

Francis X. Harrigan

endorses her views. ''

People will think I've gone crazy.

''Hollywood and Washington unite

in launching new campaign. ''

Great grief!. And then these pictures

of us taken together. I'm ruined.

Cummings, I want you to take

a letter of protest at once.

Send it to all the newspapers. Yes, sir.

Now, let me see.

To the editor-

Dear sir,

In the interest of justice I must protest

against the misleading statements...

that have been printed about

Miss Mavis Arden and myself.

Why, Francis, you old fox.

What do you mean, old fox? I suppose you've

seen the papers about you and Miss Arden?

I certainly have! I suppose
