Mr. Dockstader made any number of exits and entrances, giving about all the material pertaining to his latest monolog (done by Aaron Hoffman). Portions of the talk are brought up to the minute, and there was some kidding of the President, whom Lew said signed the prohibition measure Thursday and announced he was going to Europe Friday. He touched on the possible presidential candidates for 1920 as "Wilson and McAdoo for the Democratic ticket; Roosevelt and General Pershing for the Republican ticket and Hoover for the meal ticket." He opened by addressing the house as "members of the 17th Assembly District, friends, voters and their husbands," which drew the first laugh. He then went into his argument to prove that the Germans are "meal-hounds."
