The burlesque society is form
ed for the purpose of approving
the coronation of the President
as "Franklin I” and has also
nominated Governor Alfred M.
Landon as "pretender to the
throne.” Arrangements for the
coronation were drafted at Yale.
This was slated to take place
“immediately following the ap
pointment of the new justices,
who will automatically be ele
vated to the “Order of the Rub
ber Stamp.” It was also suggested
by the club that the “Order of
the Golden Fleeced” be formed
as the highest honorary society

King may bestow knighthood to
members recruited from Wall
street.”
