In an effort to quickly acquaint the public with the candidates in this regrettably hurried election, the Times will be running a series of articles about the candidates.
The Jolly Green Campaign
by Eleanor Esther Cummings
Meeting Reginald Thompson is a surreal experience. The man with the heart of gold is rather short, thin and reedy, but for all this, he has the deep powerful baritone of a man far taller and broader than he. He speaks eloquently and passionately but always with an element of consideration and moderation, never letting his conviction overtake him. In a town where the key issue is supernatural rights (or the denial thereof), Mr. Thompson is often considered to be out of touch with local politics because he fails to address this issue at all. From his perspective, it is not he who is failing to address the key issue; it is the other candidates.
“The way I see it, we’ve solved the supernatural rights issue. We still let it decide every election, every policy.” Thompson adds disdainfully, “And is that not exactly what the natural supremacists would have us do?” To him, it is the environment that is most important. Mr. Thompson is a man out to save the world. He is an excellent candidate and evokes a young Townsend. Doubtlessly, Thompson would make a satisfactory mayor, but he seems to lack the finesse to address the unique issues within Shawl.
