Harolds Campaign Speech

And now Harold Perry has honest Harold the homemaker. Well there's a lot of excitement in Melrose Springs for its almost election time. The talk of the town is, Who Will Be The Next Mayor?

So far there are two candidates for the office. Honest Harold's boss, Stanley Peabody, manager of the local radio station, Stanley Peabody, manager of the local radio station, and honest Harold himself, who has been drafted by his listeners.

It's morning now, and we find the people's choice at home, shaving. Gah, just can't believe it. I'm really running for mayor. Kind of scared though. Never made a political speech in my life. Let's see, when they call on me, I'll say, thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Ladies and gentlemen, where'd I put that shaving brush? No. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, well I really know you too well to call you that. Ooh, that doesn't sound right. That is not right. Better start over here.

Fellow citizens, first I'd like to explain to you why I'm running for office. There's a group in power now that's pocketed too much of your money. Now I want a chance. Oh yeah. I better rehearse this.

Now let's see. If I am elected, I promise to work to the rest of my ability. And as for my opponent, oh, ooh, such a shaving brush in my mouth. Yes, mother? Breakfast is almost ready. How do you want your aid?

Speaking of my opponent, Stanley Peabody, he's inefficient, incompetent, and his brains are scrambled. His brains are scrapped, say? I'll keep that in. Good morning, Station KSHAP. Mr. Peabody, I'll ring his office. There you are.

Good morning, Laurie. Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Why? I'm not Mayor yet, Laurie. Well, you will be. I think you're just the kind of Mayor we need. You're honest, a plain man of the people. Why, you're another Abraham Lincoln.
