CLASS RUP!-I ECY f l l4lVlVyf!Vf7lVg, The Re-election of 'Pie' Adams Now we take you to Arcola on the morning of June lst, 1988 for the re-election of Mayor Jim 'Pie' Adams who has held this lofty position for 32 straight years. All things are as they will be then except 'You Get To Be There.' It's a foggy morning and it looks as if Mayor Pie Adams faces stiff opposition from 'Russian Paul' Rippey and 'Siberian Eli' Wallace who are running on the Communist tick- et, while the peoples choice, 'Honest Ron' Uphoff and 'Blackie Dan' Sanders are running on the Amerikano ticket. One of the unusual aspects of this election is a woman candidate, 'Lus- cious Liz' Carroll who is the Carsonb candidate. The fog is beginning to lift now and the people are beginning to congregate at the polls. We now take you to the south side of the square where news correspondent Barney 'Cronkite' Bradford is waiting for the arrival of some of the more prominent dignataries present at the election. Come in 'Cronk.' Here comes 'Romantic Ed' Ashley who spearheads the local chapter of the 'Lonely Hearts' club as president, but I see that 'Romantic Ed' is busy checking out new prospects now so we won't bother him. 'Arizona Jack' Barnes just flew in from London where he completed his Zbth channel swim. He is accompanied by his wife, Joan 'Chadwick' Hawkey who is training to swim the Mississippi the hard way. I see Larry Cox coming our way noun Dig Larry is manager or tne Filson Flats Speedway. There's three of his top drivers with him, 'Wild Don' Vandeveer, 'Roll- em' Roger Foss and 'Speed Shift' Richard Prout. They definitely will vote for the Amerikano Party as Ron and Blackie Dan are favorite sons of the area. Let's switch over now to the north side of the square where the announcer who doesn't give a 'hoot', Dee 'Lucioffi' Lindenmeyer is waiting. Come in 'henpecked.' fhere's a lot of excitement over there as 'Frenchy' Drake and her 'Phoenix City' Five are there. She is definitely leaning toward 'Lus- cious Liz' and the Cacti's. Let's hear from the members of her troupe. How you gonna vote,Tantalizing Helen Dague? 5he says, 'Pie Jims my man.' Well, how about you Bubbles Barbara Curry. She also opines that she'll stick with 'Luscious Liz' and the Cacti's. What do you say 'Big Barbara' Harris. 'I like Honest Ron and Blackie Dan and the Amerikanos. Here's Linda Thompson and 'Malicious' Mary Key who opine that they're gonna stand for 'Russian Paul' and'Biberian Eli' and all the comrades.
