Nelle
Brooke Stull of Elyria, OH: “I’ve had over 1,000 proposals
of marriage”
Mrs. Stull is the president and founder of the National Widows’ and

raiser: “I am running for President of the United States”

Poor Man’s Party, and again in 1956 under the banner of the American Third
Party. He also ran for several statewide
offices in New Jersey. His platform
included a one-year tax moratorium for every taxpayer with an annual

child. He would receive 4,203 votes in
his 1952 campaign.
Special Guest
Pat O’Brien: “I smoke cigars in the shower.”
A
popular screen figure in the thirties and forties, O’Brien was known as
Hollywood’s “Irishman in Residence.” His
most famous role was probably in Knute
Rockne, All-American where, as Rockne, he delivered the line “Tell
'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the
Gipper." Ronald Reagan, who played
“The Gipper” in the film and remained lifelong friends with O’Brien, used the
line often as a political slogan.
