Oakland Tribune, California, January 22, 1922

(Bandoline was a perfumed hair pomade.)

HOO-RAY! ‘RAY! ‘RAY! ‘RAY! ATTA BOY! Who said that Willie, the bandolined Pride of the Boolevards, couldn’t stand up for himself? Moreover, he denies that bandoline libel - denies it absolutely. Says he never uses talcum powder, either - or at least, not so’s you’d know it. Moreover, those little remarks about silk shirts – However, read him yourself. I announced that I was going to sit on the fence during this little argument, and the longer I ponder over that decision the more I’m convinced that Jerry was a twin sister to Solomon, that time, any way. So here’s where the lads, bandolined or unbandolined, get all the platform. And if your heart doesn’t warm to the First Speaker you’re lined with Blinker Brink. I don’t care if that lad curled his hair with Wall Paper Paste and wears baby roses on his Paris Garters – I’m for him STRONG. SPECIAL NOTICE BEFORE YOU START. NO, GIRLS, HE DIDN’T GIVE HIS ADDRESS.
