Ulrikka F. Bruun Poetry
SIE 4-67 · 1928
Part of Manuscript Collection

Valgkampen i U.S.A. 1928 (The Election in the U.S.A. in 1928), is a poem written by Mrs. Ulrikka F. Bruun as propaganda against the presidential candidate Al Smith, criticizing his Catholic religious views and his non-prohibitionist stance.

The poem is composed in Norwegian, with a brief explanation in English: "Al Smith is all wet / And he boasts and brags and is proud of it; / Al Smith is a "Catholic," / Hoover is a "Quaker" and dry as a stick, / So we must all vote for Hoover, / For he is a regular good, old, lucky 'Fourclover.'"
