Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wit and Humor of American Politics: A Collection From Various Sources Classified Under Appropriate Subject Headings The game of politics, as played the world over, has a perennial and absorbing interest everywhere; but especially in these United States, where the humblest citizen is more or less in touch with public affairs, does this interest culminate. To some men, the great game is meat and drink, house and home, - nay, life itself. Others have bartered name and fame of a certain sort for the sometimes doubtful pleasure of swaying conventions or caucuses. To men of humbler mold, to be a power in ward or in precinct is sufficient reward for any amount of self-sacrifice. Yet others find the political arena the avenue to wealth. All of these things are possible to the American citizen. More than in any other country does the whirligig of city, state, and national politics enter into and influence the daily life of our people. The displacing of a fourth-class postmaster in some backwoods township may have results as lasting and as far-reaching in their way as the ousting of a member of the president´s cabinet.
