Gridiron Club Dinner Pokes Fun At 1920 Candidates
The Gridiron Club marked its 35th year with a satirical dinner that doubled as a non partisan political convention. High profile attendees included Secretaries Colby Meredith Houston Payne Daniels Attorney General Palmer Speaker Gillette General Pershing and Governors Sproul Morrow. The staged event featured spirits from ouija board yes and a playful critique of prohibition labor tariffs and the war. A mock peace pudding finale and a staged political ambiance underscored the show.
