Giles Poll Shows
Wallace in A Puff
The Giles Poll in Rappahannock has indicated a landslide vote for Wallace for president in the forthcoming election. The survey was unconsciously and unintentionally made at Washington Cash Store on the comer of Fodder Stack Avenue and Harris Hollow Boulevard in the county’s capital, with an inventory of bubble gum cigars. Three boxes of bubble gum cigars were placed on the counter for sale, each advocating a different candidate for the office of president. According to the local county judge, the Wallace cigars were an immediate sellout, while the Nixon and Humphrey cigar sales varied back and forth. At press time, Judge W. F. Moffett, Jr. said, that the number two spot was held by Nixon, in spite of the avid chewing of C51 Davis for Humphrey. When the judge entered the store Wednesday morning, Nixon and Humphrey were tied, four to four. However when he turned his back to get a coke, Sam Freeman bought two Nixon cigars to put him ahead.
When the Judge was giving an account of the Giles Poll in the Clerk’s office that morning, he said he didn’t know whether or not this had any county-wide or national significance. To this, Clerk E. M. Jones replied that it just indicated the sentiment on that end of town for he had stopped smoking, I mean chewing. However, Mr. Wever, an auditor working in the office, said it sounded like an awfully sticky situation to him.
Since the supply of bubble gum cigars was so nearly exhausted, this reporter was unable to detect whether or not color or flavor had any significant bearing on the poll results.
